<br />", <br /> <br />\ <br />. <br /> <br />0134,1 i <br /> <br />; <br /> <br />As part of this planning, Western has had several meetings since <br /> <br /> <br />April 1993 with firm power customers to discuss informally the range of <br /> <br />customer replacement resources needed. Western has discussed <br /> <br />limitations of, and needed modifications to, existing long-term <br />wholesale firm power contracts, as well as assumed timing of decisions <br />by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and Western in certain <br />ongoing environmental impact statements (EIS) and related decision <br />processes. Reclamation's Glen Canyon Dam EIS will ultimately influence <br />the magnitude and timing of available hydroelectric power from the Glen <br /> <br />Canyon Dam. Western's Salt Lake City Area/Integrated Projects (SLCA/IP) <br /> <br />electric power marketing (EPM) EIS will determine Western's commitment <br /> <br /> <br />level for the near-term and may affect its long-term obligations in <br /> <br /> <br />wholesale firm electric service contracts. Both short-term and <br /> <br />long-term obligations may influence and be influenced by eventual costs <br /> <br />to customers. <br /> <br />Future consultation meetings and informational mailings on replacing <br />lost power from Glen Canyon Dam will focus on a reasonable range of <br />future SLCA/IP firm power contract obligations and potential methods to <br />acquire the most cost-effective alternative sources of replacement firm <br />resources needed to meet those obligations. The SLCA/IP consists of <br />resources from the Rio Grande Proj~ct, Collbran Project, and Colorado <br />River Storage Project (CRSP), which includes Glen Canyon Dam. <br />Cost-effectiveness will be an integral component of the selection <br /> <br />criteria for replacement resources. <br /> <br />3 <br />
