~~ located north of the town of Grand Valley, Colorado. The <br />corridor will include three pipelines (water, ammonia, LPG) <br />and a paved two-lane county highway. The pipelines, corridors <br />and road will serve Colony and any other operators in the <br />Parachute Creek Valley. <br />- Terminal/storage facilities to be located at the Grand Valley <br />end of the service corridor, and a railroad spur line to these <br />facilities. <br />- Two 230 kv powerlines which will be built by Public Service <br />Company to service the plant and mine. Two powerlines from <br />separate generating sources are required because the shale <br />oil refining process utilized by Colony will require a very <br />high degree of reliability in its electric service. A sus- <br />rained outage would have serious implications because the <br />processing units contain high temperature and high pressure <br />services utilizing catalysts and equipment which could be <br />damaged by repeated loss of electric power. A one to three <br />day time period will be required to restart these units. <br />Because of these facts, it is necessary to provide at least <br />two 230 kv transmission lines to the plant, each capable of <br />providing 100 percent of the plant's ultimate electrical <br />requirement. These two lines must either be on completely <br />separate corridors or at least sufficiently separated on the <br />same corridor so that any reasonable credible contingency <br />would not cause both to fail simultaneously. Final routes <br />have not been selected as yet (Figure D-1). The 69 kv line <br />which presently terminates at Colony's semi-works plant in <br />Parachute Canyon will be extended to the plant site on the <br />plateau to provide power during the construction phase. <br />- An exchange with the Federal Government - Bureau of Land Manage- <br />ment and United States Navy - of approximately 337 acre s. of <br />Federal lands consisting of isolated parcels located within <br />D-2 <br />
