TOWN OF ESTES PARK July 8, 1992 OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Light and Power Committee FROM: Richard E. Matzke-7â‚¬2271 SUBJECT: Fall River Hydro Plant Attached is a portion of a draft proposal by Hydro-West, Inc. of Telluride to rehabilitate and operate the Fall River Hydro Plant for the Town. Eric Jacobson will make an informal presentation at our meeting on July 9. The Light and Power Department recommends that we take this information under advisement and prepare a request for proposal from the firms that have expressed ag interest -In- restoring the plant to service. --I REM 1-1 1 1 SHORT STUDY FOR RESTORING ESTES PARK STANLEY HYDROELECTRIC FACILITY SEPTEMBER, 1991 Hydro-West, Inc.

Streamflow Records 1-3 l 4, A. Location The Stanley Generating Station is owned by the town of Estes Park and is situated on the Fall River about 3 miles northwest of town. The plant outflow elevation is approximately 8,072 feet while the intake at Cascade Lake is at 8,472 feet, giving a gross head of 400 feet. Cascade Lake is connected to the powerhouse via about 5,300 feet of " welded steel pipeline. This conduit also provides raw water to the town's Fall River Filtration Plant which is situated on a site shared with the hydro plant. The filtration plant and pipeline are currently in service. There are also two powerplant operator's houses on the site. The Cascade Lake diversion works are partially surrounded by privately owned summer cabins and are within the boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park. B. History The powerstation was constructed in 19 by and F.O. Stanley' I to provide electricity to the Stanley Hotel which is situated about 1/2 mile east of Estes Park. The plant was purchased by the town in 19 and the output was used by the municipal light and power system from then until 19 when a reservoir owned by the Irrigation Company burst. In the ensuing flood, the wood-crib Cascade diversion dam was completely washed out and the powerplant damaged. The dam was replaced with a low concrete diversion structure and the pipeline repaired to provide raw water to the town filtration plant. The powerplant was shovelled out and boarded up; it has not operated since the flood. The plant is doubtlessly eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places due to its association with the Stanley Brothers (of steam car fame) and its well preserved iron age interior. Generating unit #1 is also, in all likelihood, eligible for listing on the Historic American Engineering Record as this is probably the only operable "Hug" turbine left in the world. Hug turbines were manufactured around the turn of the century in Denver and used an odd concentric bucket impulse turbine wheel. The other generating units are of a slightly later vintage (approximately 1920) and are of historic significance as well. Appropriate historical listings are important for this plant as it would become eligible for Federal restoration funding if the town elects to repair it. If a private party were to restore the installation, about 20% of the restoration costs would be returned to the developer as Federal Incoma tax credits. State tax credits would also be available. 1-4 C. Machinery The hydro plant has two water powered generating units and one diesel reciprocating unit. A 200 KW horizontal shaft "Western" generator directly coupled to a gear electric spear-valve regulated Hug impulse wheel with a belt drive exciter and governor constitutes unit #1 while unit #2 is composed of a single cylinder "Fairbanks-Morse" engine generator with a belt drive exciter. Unit #3 is a 680 KW "General Electric" generator directly coupled by means of a horizontal shaft to a 27" Francis turbine of "Worthington" manufacture. There is a direct coupled exciter and a belt driven governor attached to this unit. Regulation is via a hydraulically operated wicket gate arrangement. A very old marble/slate switchboard controls the generating units. There are four AC breakers suggesting that the plant at one time contained an additional generating unit (probably another oil- engine). Electrical regulation is completely manual. Nameplate generation is at 2,400 volt for units #2 and #3, while the nameplate generation at unit #1 was 6,600 volt single phase (apparently this was subsequently altered to 2,400 volt 3-phase). Water, silt and debris entered the oil galleries in the bearing stanchions on all three units. The water was drained out but significant quantities of dirt yet remain in the bearings. There was little rust and no apparent scouring of the shaft as the machines evidently tripped or stalled before the flood water reached the bearings. The only physical damage visible was in a lower stator coil on unit #1. There is a good possibility that, with the exception of the above mentioned field coil, all three units would be operable following a thorough internal/external cleaning and oiling. Unit #3 would need a new draft-tube as no trace remains of the original. The powerhouse was heavily damaged on the upstream side; a temporary wall fills in the damaged sections of the building and appears to adequately protect the machinery for the time being. D. Permits N/A E. Hydraulics A U.S.G.S. stream gauging station operated from 1945 until 1953 about two miles below the plant. The record prior to October 1947 is not usable for streamflow calculations due to a large number of "holidays" in the records. Flows in the Fall River were reduced in the winter and spring months by the former 817 A.F. capacity lawn lake reservoir and augmented in the late summer and fall by 1-5 DRAf * 10 1 (D 4 0 e â€¢-4 01 mr-Itn00OO1*r-INLOWOO 1-1 -U 00 ............ 914 0 .

Experience has likewise shown that in coming up with an appropriate monthly average, the highest 10-20% flows in each month over a long period should be removed from the calculation as such high flows occur irregularly and it is not economically justified to consider these flows. The largest flow in the monthly listings has thus been eliminated, resulting in a conservative average; ie. the lowest 5 years flow out of 6 years of record. Experience has shown that an additional 5% should be taken from any streamflow record in that ice or debris tend to raise the gauging level without an actual increase in water flow. It should further be noted that the gauging station was located on the outskirts of town and included about 7 square miles of high- class drainage basin which is not usable by the plant. The gauging station drainage area was 40.8 square miles; the plant's drainage basin would be about 34 square miles. Flows at the plant would thus be expected to be 34/41 of the flow at the gauging station. (See Table 1). No reductions have been made for the municipal filtration plant, as it is assumed that said facility can be connected to the tailwater side of the powerplant. As a final note, it should be mentioned that a monthly average tends to be somewhat optimistic due to high flow days (exceeding the hydraulic capacity of the powerplant) raising the apparent generation of the entire month. F. Output and Revenues If we assume that there will be a 10% hydraulic friction loss in the pipeline, the dynamic head at the plant will be 360'. With each cubic foot of water weighing 62.4 lbs., there will be 360 x 62.4 = 22,464 ftâ€¢lbs of energy. At a flow rgte of 1 cfs, this will be 22,464 ftâ€¢lbs/sec, or 40.8 horsepower. Since horsepower is eqaul to 746 watts, the gross output per cfs would be 30.47 KW. Since these are older machines, the combined hydraulic/electrical efficiency would probably be around 80%. For the purposes of these preliminary calculations, it should thus be assumed that each cfs will produce 24.4 KW of output. If we take the average monthly flows from the preceeding section and multiply them by 24.4 KW, we will get KW/month outputs for the plant. For the purposes of these calculations, a year-round 3 efs minimum streamflow is left in the Fall River. The plant cannot utilize any flow over 36 cfs. 1-7 1: The flows from October 1 to mid-April are too low to even pay for an operator, thus, it is presumed that the facility will operate only from April 15th to September 30th of each year, the operating season which probably corresponded to the Stanley Hotel's historic peak season (when it was famous as a summer resort) (A). It is presumed that the town municipal system will purchase the Stanley plant's output at the same delivered cost as power from the Rawhide Stations. Since the Rawhide cost is 3.8 cents per KWH with transformer losses, line losses and wheeling charges, etc. added thereto, it is presumed that the final cost of Rawhide power at distribution voltage is about 4.0 cents/KWH. Our preliminary estimates show that it will cost about $150,000 to bring the plant into permit compliance and to return the machinery to service. The capital costs of these requisite activities will be about $2,000/month. The plant will need a 40 hr./week operator when it is on-line. The coast for salary, taxes, workman's compensation, etc. is estimated to be $2,500/month through the operating season. The cost for insurance, security monitoring, etc. on an idle plant is estimated to be $400 per month. This item along with the costs of normal repair etc. will increase to about $4,000 per month when , the plant is operating. i. j 1-8 .

Leasing Ideas If, following further study, the costs and outputs contained in this report are approximately correct, E.R. Jacobson/Hydro-West, Inc. would propose a 25 year lease whereby we would front the costs associated with returning the hydro portions of the Stanley Plant to service. These costs would be returned to us over the life of the lease via the capital expense item on the pro-forma. The net revenue of the plant (approximately $44,000/year) would be equally shared by us and the town over the life of the lease. The town would continue to own the plant and all permits would be in the town's name; we would merely be the operators of the plant. The town would not bear any expenses associated with returning the facility to service. 1-10 1 TOWN OF ESTES PARK July 8, 1992 OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Light and Power Committee FROM: Richard E. Matzke 72-27"u SUBJECT: Hand Held Meter Reading Equipment Authorization to Purchase The Light and Power Department was authorized in May to obtain bids for hand held meter reading equipment. Attached is a summary of the two bids we received. Both Radix and Itron are mainstream suppliers of this type of equipment and both are compatible with the HTE utility billing system which we are in the process of installing. The bid from Radix is $7931 or approximately 30% lower. In addition, the ongoing annual maintenance cost for Radix is $856 less. We spoke with several users of Radix equipment and they are generally satisfied. Some of the utilities using older generations of Radix hand held devices have experienced some problems. After reviewing both proposals and interviewing users of both systems, we believe that the Radix equipment will meet our needs at a substantially lower cost. The budget amount for purchase of this equipment is $25,000. The Light and Power Department recommends that the hand held meter reading system be purchased from Radix Corporation in Salt Lake City, UT at a cost of $19,780. REM 2-1 HANDHELD.XLS 7/8/92 .

As we discussed, our office has been made aware of four areas within the Estes Park Base Rate or Suburban Rate Area which have limited telephone service availability. These areas are Steamer Drive, Community Drive & Brodie Avenue, Brook Drive, and Saddleback Lane. The first three areas do not have single line service available and Saddleback Lane has no telephone service available. It is my understanding from the tariff sheets filed by U.S. West Communications with the Public Utilities Commission that individual line service is provided within the Estes Park Base Rate area and Suburban Rate Area #1. We are concerned that residents in these areas have been unable to receive the telephone service they applied for but we are further concerned about the prevalence of this problem in the Estes Park area. Please furnish the Town of Estes Park with a list of areas in the Estes Park local exchange which do not have single line telephone service available. Also, please provide your construction plans and time table for resolving these failures to provide service to Estes Park area residents. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Mr. Bruce Smith Executive Secretary The Public Utilities Commission Logan Tower, Office Level 2 1580 Logan Street Denver, CO 80203 Dear Mr. Smith: Enclosed is a copy of a letter from the Town of Estes Park to U.S. West regarding our concerns about telephone service availability and response in the Estes Park area. In the letter to Mr. Garcia, I listed several areas in the Estes Park Base Rate Area or Suburban Rate Area where individual line phone service is not available. In the Brook Drive area, a Town employee purchased a house where I understand individual line service had been provided in the past, and was offered only four party service. This employee now has two party service in a residence located in the Suburban Rate Area. The Saddleback Lane area, located at the southern end of the Suburban Rate area has residences which have had outstanding service requests since December of 1991 and still have no telephone service whatsoever. These examples cause us concern about the lack of planning and upgrades to the telephone system in the Estes Park area. I have requested that U.S. West provide the Town of Estes Park with their plan for resolving these service deficiencies. I would also request the Public Utilities Commission determine if U. S. West. is providing the level of service claimed in their tariff sheets on file with the Commission. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Our External Affairs section has forwarded copies of your June 4 and June 11 letters to the U S WEST Communications Regulatory Affairs office in Denver for investigation and direct response. You may already know that U S WEST has included the Estes Park area in an application for upgrading of rural service from eight and four-party to single-party service capability. According to the schedule included in Docket No. 92A-109T, U S WEST plans to complete the Estes Park upgrade by December, 1995. You may also be aware that the Commission will be conducting a public hearing about upgrade and-other issues at the Estes Park Municipal Building on Wednesday, August 12, 1992, from 4 to 7 pm. We encourage you and your concerned citizens to attend. You will find several information pieces enclosed that may help you learn more about basic telephone customer rights and your opportunity to file a formal complaint about your concerns if U S WEST does not respond to your satisfaction.
