History The subject hydro installation in this Declaration of Intention was completed in 1909. It was constructed for the Estes Park Electric Light and Power Company which was incorporated in 1908 by Messrs. Stanley, MacGregor, James, Munson and Bond for the sole purpose of providing the Stanley Hotel with electrical power. The people of Estes Park were anxious to have electric power also, so the plant was soon furnishing power to residential customers as well as the Stanley Hotel (the Stanley Hotel was constructed in 1908 by F.O. Stanley, of steam car fame, and is on the National Register of Historic Places). Declaration of Intention Fall River Hydro & Water Trealment Plant TOWN of ESTES PARK, CO March 1994 5 pages 1 1-3 The plant was acquired by the Town of Estes Park in 1945 and operated until 1982 when portions of the penstock were damaged in a flood. The Fall River Water Treatment Plant was constructed in 1964 and is adjacent to the hydro station. The raw water inlet structure for the water treatment plant is connected to the penstock above the hydro plant. The penstock was repaired after the flood and the treatment plant began using water directly from the penstock via a pressure reduction assembly. The hydro plant was not returned to service after the flood, although the damage due to the flood was relatively minor. The hydro plant does not appear to ever have had any sort of a Federal license because it pre-dates the Federal Power Act, and because of possible Congressional activity stemming from the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park upstream of the plant and the development of the Colorado-Big Thompson Reclamation Project downstream from the plant. B. Present Condition Extensive testing was done on the equipment in the hydro plant in the spring of 1993 with the conclusion that the plant could be returned to service with minimal repair and expenditures. The penstock portion of the project is presently in service supplying the Fall River Water Treatment Plant. The hydro installation would utilize currently unused hydraulic power. C.

It is estimated that the Fall River Hydro Plant will provide about 75 % of the electrical energy requirements for the Town of Estes Park's water treatment facilities. The Town will supply additional electrical power from outside sources as the Town owns its municipal electrical system. III. GENERAL INFORMATION A. The Town Municipal Light and Power Department supplies electricity to about 7,200 customers. B. The Town Light and Power Department is not engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. C. The project does not affect interstate or foreign commerce. D. The project does not utilize surplus water or water power from a government dam. E. The project is operated under and in accordance with the terms of permits and valid existing right-of-way granted prior to June 10, 1920. F. The project uses a low diversion weir with a maximum height of six feet (6') and a storage capacity of one (1) acre-foot. G. The Town has agreed to a minimum stream flow of four cubic feet per second (4 cfs) April 1 through September 30 and one cubic foot per second (1 cfs) October 1 through March 31. H. The static head is Four Hundred Feet (400)', the dynamic head is about Three Hundred Sixty Feet (360'), the conduit is Thirty Inches (30") in diameter and about Five Thousand Three Hundred Feet (5,300') long. The maximum flow is Forty cubic feet per second (40 cfs). I. The Town obtained a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Form 404 permit for rebuilding of the diversion structure and penstock. The purpose and need stated in the application included providing adequate hydrostatic head for future power generation.

Matzke -72 Z-'77*L SUBJECT: Lease Purchase Program for Demand Controllers and Electric Thermal Storage Heaters In December of 1991, the Town Board approved a lease purchase program to assist customers with electric space heat who would be required to transfer to the residential demand rate. The program provided 90% funding up to $1,000 for purchase and installation of demand controllers or conversion to gas heat. The program allowed for $100,000 in total outstanding balances and expired January 31, 1994. The current outstanding balance in the lease purchase program is approximately $1,200. No financing for gas heat conversion was applied for under this program. Since the approval of the energy-based time of day rates, several customers have requested financing for electric thermal storage heaters. The Light and Power Department would like to extend the original lease purchase program to March 31, 1995 and modify it to include financing for electric thermal storage heaters and remove the provision for gas heat conversion. The gas heat financing was originally offered to provide an alternative to customers required to transfer from the residential energy rate. The time of day rate with use of electric thermal storage heaters is a more economic alternative for both the Department and our customers than gas heat conversion. Attached is a description of the revised program. The Light and Power Department recommends approval of the lease purchase program for demand controllers and electric thermal storage heaters through March 31, 1995. REM 2-1 .. TOWN OF ESTES PARK, UGHT AND POWER DEPARTMENT 2/08/94 Lease Purchase Program Demand Controllers and Electric Thermal Storage Heaters The Light and Power Department is offering a lease purchase program to assist customers who wish to install a demand controller or electric thermal storage heater. This program is available to any existing customer using electric space heat. The total outstanding amounts for the program will not exceed $100,000. As payments are made each month and the outstanding balance drops below $100,000, new financing may be approved. No new financing will be approved under this program after 3/31/95. To assist customers and contractors in obtaining demand controllers, this equipment may be purchased in the Department's offices. Customers will have to place orders approximately 10 days in advance to assure availability. No controllers will be stocked by the Department. Program Specifics â€¢ The finance amount will not exceed 90% of the total installed cost of the approved project up to a maximum amount of $1,000. No financing will be made available for less than $250. â€¢ The interest rate will be determined at the time the financing is approved according to the Town's cost of money and will be fixed for the duration of the lease period. â€¢ The maximum payment period will be determined by the following schedule. There will be no prepayment penalty. Financed Amount Monthly Payments under $500 18 $500 to$700 24 $700 to $1,000 36 â€¢ Monthly payments will be billed on the customer's electric bill. â€¢ Customer must make application and receive approval from the Department prior to start of any work on the proposed project. Approval will be at the Town's sole discretion. â€¢ All work must be performed by a licensed contractor and required permits and inspections must be obtained. If the installation is to be performed by the customer, all necessary permits and inspections will still be required. â€¢ All work financed must be performed on the customer's property. â€¢ The completed project must be inspected to meet the Town's requirements by the Department's representative prior to release of any funds. â€¢ Customer must present an original invoice to the Department for processing of financing. Financed amount will not be increased above the pre-approved level. Funds will be issued in the name of the customer or supplier as requested. â€¢ If applicant sells the residence during the lease period, the outstanding amount shall be immediately due and payable. â€¢ If applicant is not the owner, the owner must co-sign the application and lease purchase agreement. 2-2 ESTES PARK LIGHT & POWER DEPARTMENT APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 1.

Matzke 72 3,5,-, SUBJECT: APPA Voluntary Assessment for National Electric & Magnetic Fields Research Program The Light and Power Department has received a voluntary assessment from the American Public Power Association to contribute to the non-federal funding portion of the Department of Energy's Electric and Magnetic Fields Research and Public Information Dissemination Program. Our share of this funding would $191.57 for 1994. Attached is an information sheet from APPA explaining the program. The Light and Power Department recommends contributing to this research. We believe that the results of the study will be more credible to the public if is coordinated by the Department of Energy rather than directly funded by the electric power industry. REM 4-1 APPA Funding the Electric and Magnetic Fields Research and Public Information Dissemination Program What is the program all about? The national, $65-million Electric and Magnetic Fields Research and Public Information Dissemination Program was created by the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Half of the five-year program's funding will come from non-federal entities -- electric utilities, electrical equipment and appliance manufacturers, and others with an interest in furthering EMF research. The Department of Energy has the authority to manage the overall program and carry out research in applied engineering and mitigation. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences - a branch of the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services -- will conduct health related studies and be responsible for public information about EMF and human health. When the program ends, Congress will then take its findings into consideration in terms of public policy in relation to EMF. Why should my utility help fund the program? For these six reasons: 1) It puts words into action on behalf of your consumers and employees as far as ensuring that we learn as much as we can about the relationship between EMF and human health. 2) It will accelerate important research. This is the way to learn as much as we can as fast as we can. 3) It will create an information resource. The program provides up to $ 1 million a year for a public information program to provide much-needed education for consumers, employees, and the news media. 4) It will help to develop responsible public policy. Some states and localities are proposing to regulate magnetic fields, and various bills to regulate magnetic fields have been introduced in the U.S. Congress. However, many officials are waiting for the results of this program before they decide whether to take action. 5) It is cost-effective. Facility and powerline sitings are long and complex anymore. Lawsuits are expensive. Money spent now to learn more about EMF will be spent wisely and can save you and your consumers much greater expenditures in the future. 6) It is the right thing to do. Your utility must continue to provide your consumers with the safest possible electricity and your employees with the safest possible work environment. Who makes program decisions? An Interagency Committee representing nine different federal agencies develops the research agenda and coordinates research activities. A 10-member Advisory Committee makes recommendations to the Interagency Committee with respect to design and implementation of the program. Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary appointed Kate Brown Maracas, environmental issues manager, Salt River Project, Phoenix, Ariz., and Paul Zweiacker, Texas Utilities Services, to represent electric utilities. Others on the committee represent consumers, electrical equipment manufacturers, state health organizations and utility commissions, labor unions, and federal agencies. DOE will not accept contributions that are contingent on acceptance of restrictions or obligations regarding expenditure of donated funds within the program. Who is funding the program? So far, publicly owned, privately owned, and cooperatively owned electric utilities have committed to fund 66 percent of the program. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association is also participating. The legislation calls for the Secretary of Energy to solicit funding. There are many industries with a stake in this issue, and APPA expects DOE will be able to find others to meet tile remainder of the non-federal funds needed. - over - 4-2 How is my ioint action agency/state association involved? APPA has not calculated any voluntary assessments for joint action agencies or state/regional associations so that utilities that are members of these organizations will not be "double-dipped" by funding the EMF program. However, some joint action agencies, such as Missouri Basin Municipal Power Agency, have pledged to cover their members' voluntary assessments. Check with your joint action agency before you write a check to APPA. What if my utility is a member of EPRI? The Electric Power Research Institute is facilitating its members' commitments to this effort through the EPRI Tailored Collaboration (TC) Program, and has signed a tailored collaboration cofunding agreement with APPA so that APPA can "bundle" funds to be matched by the tailored collaboration program. EPRI will match funds contributed by its member utilities within the TC Program limits. If you are an EPRI member and choose to participate in the Tailored Collaboration Program, you should send one-half your APPA voluntary assessment to APPA. APPA will forward it to EPRI, which will then match the amount and forward the funding to DOE. When is the final date we can contribute to the DOE fiscal year 1994 effort? APPA expects to be able to forward to DOE the bulk of its members' funding by Feb. 15, 1994. Meeting public power's obligation early in the year will allow realistic scheduling of the research. While the federal government's 1994 fiscal year ends on Sept. 30, 1994, and you can contribute up to that date, Congress will not , release the $4 million it appropriated to this program until DOE has at least $2 million in non-federal funds. And to conduct all the research on the agenda, the complete $4 million match must be raised by Sept. 30, 1994. What this means is that there is no reason to delay making a contribution to this program if you can do so at this time. It also means that if your utility's fiscal year begins in April or July and you will not have funding before that time, you will still be able to participate fully. How will we follow the program's progress? APPA will continue to cover the program in the weekly newsletter and other publications. Kate Maracas and Paul Zweiacker will circulate a regular program update to all electric utilities. In addition, the DOE will make regular reports about the program. What can we expect in future years? It is likely that for the federal government's future fiscal years the appropriation from Congress and the matching funds needed will increase. However, we do not know to what level. That is why APPA wants to collect the funds in five fairly equal payments from its members. All funds APPA collects on behalf of its members will go to EMF research, as will interest earned before fEas are turned over to DOE. If for the 1994 year, APPA members provide more funding than is needed for the program, APPA will apply it toward public power's proportionate share of the next fiscal year's matching funds. Where do we send our check? Make out your check to APPA, earmarked for "EMF Research and Public Information Dissemination Program." APPA has agreed to "bundle" all donations to alleviate an administrative burden on DOE. Send your check to: American Public Power Association Attn: EMF Program 2301 M Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20037 APPA will provide you with an acknowledgment of your contribution and a news release you can localize and distribute to your news media. All funds will be deposited in a special APPA escrow account prior to transfer to DOE. Where can I get more information? Contact: Madalyn Cafruny, APPA Director of Communications, 202/467-2952. 4-3 1 11 1 1 11 1 Ilorn.-101011 1114'r-109'110,1 Ola'll tor-IN Iml 1-- CO N r-1 CO 9' 1 ,-11 (NILDI m I NYV lot M -1 h M M el l Ch 1 .-1 1 In 1 1 NII 1 .1 . . . . . -1 -1 .1 -1 .1 mE-11 Nt-co , 0 , trIMNNOM IWI r--Ilchl Wl M 1 1 01- 10 1 H I M Ul (n 00 t- r-1 1 Ul I 0,1 00 1 4' 1 rl >1 1 1- .4 1 m I M r--1 tn N 1- 1 M I Ul I Ul 1 01 1 1 I 1 .1 - 1 .1 1 1 -1 1 tri 1 Ln I m 1 1.0 1 1 tn 1 1 4~ 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 11 1 1 11 1 1 11 , 1 1, 1 1 W r-1 0 0 INI ROC'CONÂ©0 1Â£01 10 1<91 01 1 1 00 0 00 1 /.1 com Â·ur u) coN 1 Â·,1 1 N 1 1- 1 r-1 1 0151-1- 1.-11 Nahlot-mt.0 1 le I ul 1 0 / mI Mil --- 1 .1 -1 -1 Il G E-â€¢ 1 4Â· w w 1 00 1 9â€¢Or-(COOr-Ilt---1 OINI 01 01 1 1 1-- .-1 tail 4' r-It- m lo INI 1-101 Nt f-1 Z I tri 1 LA i m 1 Lot 1 1 W I 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 , 1 11 1 1 11 , 1 1 1 1 11 , 1 111 10000.'INI 0.-11- 41 CON I r-11 r-11001 1 â€¢7 N /3 1- 1 Ch i Ch m r-1 4) ul r-1 11Â·- 1 NINI 1 U-10 LO â€¢7 1 /111 m M or r--1 ri 5 1 .-11 " 1 1-1 1 1 al . . ..1 .1 ..... .1 .1 .1 -1 .1 m 1 1 09Â·mrn lt-1 w .-1 t--- CO O Ch 1 1 1 MILOI 01 Ch E-1 i cor- le m I u, i t.0 M O 0 m toi 10 1 Ln I Lf) 1 011 100 .-1 1 r-1 1 Ul r-1 Ch M UI 1 Ul l 'O 1 1-1 1 W I r-1 >1 1 - , .1 . 1 .1 1 1 -1 1 Ln 1 <0 1 lin I 1 1 LAI 1 - 1 1 1 1 111 11 1 1 1, 1 1 1 1 1 It , DZ [4 WEI 1 1 1 -1 1 1- 1 1 HME 1 .-1 0 W O I W I MO,â€¢1'UnmUl|001 CO 'Ch 1 0, 1 '1 1 to et co 1 1- 1 M lf) 1-1- 1 1 1 1 1 Nlmt 01 WHU O 1 00 00 0, 1 '0 1 vt-r--Imqui lwt o I el MI 3 4 W mt 1 4. - 1 -1 . 6 . . . -1 .1 .1 .1 .1 OE-Im m E-4 1 I--wo 1 /1 1 lo O Lo A 1- N I t- 1 Colint MI M Al U} Ch 1 I tri ,-1 N 1 01 1 H.-tomâ€¢7-191 gl---1 tri r-1% 1 u, 1 81 1 M rl 1 Ul I 1 1 Ul 1 ZEÂ·11â€¢0WZ 1 1 1 1 11 1 0 ZI-1 1 1 1 1 11 1 E-toOI 1 11 1 1 11 1 Z[COM 3OZW O HIt-1 E-1.-1 8 1 00 0 0 tool 1-ofvt-0'.0 1 w I NINI 1 11 , 1 111 1/7000 1/,1 00NO'â€¢001.-11 .INI 2 +J i moo Imf NOLOVAO INI .-11 0 1 1 M 0 1 --- 1 .1 . . . . ..1 -1 -1 -1 -1 M 01 0, 1 v 00 171 000,-11_r,449â€¢ I g l OINI 'ot N 1-1 1 1 m .4 1 N I ul Hoom w 1 00 1 11.1 C, '0 1 10 1-01 Ir-It Wu-)Ommr-1 101 ,-11001 mi . 1 -1 . 1 -1 1 M I tri 1,01 m , Ul 1 1 O 1 44 1 1 It li L. 1 11 It 1 Ill :1 H 04 #1 10 W W C -1 c) 0 4) 44 >1 41 0 8 Co.

TOWN OF ESTES PARK February 9, 1994 OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Light and Power Committee FROM: Richard E. Matzke/4_'--271 SUBJECT: Customer Comments made during Public Input portion of January 11, 1994 Town Board Meeting The following comments were made by one of our customers at the 1/11/94 meeting of the Town Board: 1. He installed a demand controller in October of 1992 at a cost of $635 but had seen no savings on his electric bill. The customer installed the controller but failed to request a change to the residential demand rate. The customer received a credit for the savings he would have realized in 1993. 2. He questioned how many controllers or thermal storage heaters were installed in Town-owned buildings with electric heat. There are two thermal storage heaters and one demand controller operating in the Municipal Building. We have received two additional thermal storage heaters which are awaiting installation in the Municipal Building. We have also considered installing storage heaters in our substation control buildings. 3. He claimed there is only a $0.0053/kWh difference between the on-peak and off-peak rates. This small difference will result in long payback periods. The difference between on- and off-peak costs on the Residential-Energy Time of Day Rate is actually $0.0545/kWh. The off peak kWh charge is less than one-third of the on-peak charge. The customer quoted the difference between the on- and off-peak energy charges for the Residential Demand Time of Day Rate. He failed to note that the on peak period also has a demand charge of $8.00/kW while the off-peak period has no demand charge. The blended on-peak charge will more likely run between $.055 to $0.06/kWh. The off-peak kWh charge on this rate would be roughly one-half of the on-peak charge. R5d-1 f .. 4. He criticized using Department funds to finance gas heat conversions. No gas heat conversions were ever funded under this program. We have recommended that this portion of the lease purchase program be dropped and that funding be provided for electric thermal storage heaters. REM R5d-2 . I; .
