The following comments are referring to Appendix B of the application: <br />a. The ground cover data presented in section 4.1 (both text and charts 3 & 4) does not correspond <br />with the data presented in Table 2 (page 13) and the data sheets in Tables A2, A3 and A4. <br />Please update section 4.1. <br />b. In section 4.2, the paragraph discussing the 2014 production results has the 2015 data in it. <br />Please update this paragraph with the correct data. <br />2. The following comments are referring to Appendix C of the application: <br />a. In section 3.2.1, Table 2 and Chart 4, the desirable perennial cover for the bond release block is <br />34.47%. The data sheet in Table A3 shows it to be 33.87%. Please correct the text, table and <br />chart. <br />b. In Table A6, the data shown in the ‘Average’ row does not add up to the value in the ‘TOTAL’ <br />column. Please correct the table. Also, update Table 3 on page 15, the discussion in Section 4.2 <br />and Chart 5 which use the data from Table A6 to calculate production success. <br /> <br /> <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (303) 866-3567 ext 8142. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Brock Bowles <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />brock.bowles@state.co.us <br />February 28, 2018 <br /> <br />Chris Gilbreath <br />Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. <br />P.O.
