Hill, Esq. <br />August 24, 1981 <br />Page Two <br /> <br />megawatt, coal-fired electric generating station under <br />construction in northeastern Larimer County. Together with <br />its associated transmission lines, and related facilities, <br />it is estimated to cost $384.5 million. <br /> <br />One of our principal concerns in siting Rawhide \~as the <br />water supply for power plant cooling. For this purpose, <br />Platte River will use sewage water effluent traceable to <br />water sources foreign to the Cache la Poudre basin, and <br />obtained from the City of Fort Collins, the Water Supply & <br />Storage Company and our share of the Windy Gap Project. <br /> <br />The North Poudre Irrigation Company and its system, espe- <br />cially the Fossil Creek Inlet and Reservoir, have been cru- <br />cial to the continuous supply of cooling water to Rawhide. <br />As you know, the twenty-mile pipeline which will deliver <br />water to Rawhide has an inlet structure in North poudre's <br />Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch. This permits Platte River to <br />exchange waters with North Poudre and to deliver our own <br />sources to Rawhide. Without North poudre's system, and your <br />company's close cooperation, platte River would be severely <br />hampered in its efforts to deliver cooling water to Rawhide. <br />. <br /> <br />We are grateful for the efforts that North poudre has made <br />in allowing Platte River to utilize a part of its system so <br />that the Rawhide Project can go forward. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />PLATTE RIVER POWER AUTHORITY <br /> <br />f.J~W.~ <br /> <br />Bryan W.
