Orono, MN I / / - December 15, 2011 The Honorable Eric L. Lipman Office of Administrative Hearings P.O. Box 64620 St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0620 Fax: (651-7936 Eric.Lipman@state.mn.us Re: PUC Docket Number: E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket Number: 8-2500-22429-2 Dear Judge Lipman: Thank you for the opportunity to share our concerns about the Route Permit Application for the Orono Substation Replacement and new 115kV Transmission Line Project. We are homeowners on Hunt Farm Road and, as such, are members of the Hunt Farm Homeowners Association, which owns property across which Xcel desires to obtain an easement for high-voltage transmission lines. Inasmuch as the value, and our use and enjoyment, of our home would be adversely affected by the proposed project, we have tremendous interest in the outcome of this hearing. Our concerns are many, but they all boil down the following: Xcel has a monkey on its back, and it wants to solve that problem by putting said monkey on the back of nearby homeowners, and other residents of Orono whose interests are adversely affected if the city's comprehensive plan, and the rights and interests of its citizens, are not respected. Xcel is exhibiting little concern about the project's impact on homeowners and other stakeholders, and it appears that instead Xcel is seeking a quick, cheap and easy solution for its problem. We refer to the proposal as "Xce1's 9-9-9 Plan". On a scale of 0-9, Xcel scores all 9 for itself: Xcels' 9-9-9 Plan 9 9 9 "Cheap,easy and quick" "Cheap, easy and quick" Homeowners and Orono solution creates shareholder solution helps enable Xcel residents pay the price for value to pay CEO $12 solving Xcel's problem million/year compensation (i.e.,puts Xcel's monkey on backs of others) .Z- The project is a 0-0-0-Plan, however, for homeowners and Orono residents, who will pay the price for a project that benefits others. We would submit that, as a matter of good public policy, the better solution is a 5-5-5 Plan. That is one in which Xcel vigorously pursues every alternative to placing an ill-suited,visually abusive, and risky substation and high-voltage transmission lines in the backyards of homeowners, and imperiling precious wetlands. If potential alternatives are diligently explored and no other alternative does, in fact, exist, every effort MUST be made to ensure that precious wetlands are protected, and the impact on homeowners and residents are mitigated to the greatest extent possible, and to our satisfaction. Those should be the paramount objectives, not resolving Xcel's problems quickly, cheaply and easily. If the cost of the project increases, so be it. Pass on the cost to all those users who receive the benefit of the improvements, or let the shareholders and executives share in the costs. Xcel should keep its own monkey. Here are some of our specific concerns: • Xcel has not demonstrated an urgent,compelling need to justify expansion of the substation. Given state of the economy now and for many years to come, the argument that the substation is required to accommodate growth in the western suburbs is not convincing. If there is no urgent, compelling need, the project should not be pursued at this time. • Representatives of Xcel have admitted that Xcel did not explore alternative sites for location of the substation. Consistent with its 9-9-9 Plan, Xcel has chosen this site out of concern for its own costs and convenience, rather than demonstrating due regard for nearby homeowners or for residents of the city of Orono who have an interest in enforcement of the city's comprehensive plan. Although the EA examines alternative routes from the existing substation, it does not explore alternative sites for the substation. It should. A paramount consideration should be location of a site that has the least impact on any residential neighborhood and does not desecrate wetlands. • In discussing alternative routes, the EA makes a puzzling statement that selecting one of the alternate routes would have an additional impact on new landowners. Why would the impact on new landowners be more compelling that the impact on existing landowners? Who are these new landowners? Developers? Do they have that much influence over the process? Or is this just more 9-9-9? • The proposed project is not consistent with the city of Orono's comprehensive plan. In a letter dated August 22, 2011, from Lili Tod MacMillan, mayor of Orono, the city expressed its "critical concerns", and the city's interest in"protecting natural vistas without manmade intrusions". While the proposed use of the site may be a permissible use under applicable zoning laws, that does not mean the facility itself may be constructed in a fashion that is not consistent with the city's comprehensive plan or without due regard for other stakeholders. • The EA also does not take into consideration another stakeholder: Minnesota taxpayers, whose millions of dollars were spent to improve and beautify Highway 12, 3 including the interchange at Highway 12 and County Road 6. As a matter of public policy, one must consider the absurdity of a situation where one arm of state government(i.e.,the Department of Transportation) expends substantial sums of taxpayer money,only to have those efforts defiled by a project approved by another arm of state government (i.e.,the Department of Commerce). What an outrage for taxpayers. • An expert we consulted has advised us that it is highly unusual for a substation of this type and magnitude to be established in a residential neighborhood. Although the EA incorporates research concluding the health risks associated with exposure to high voltage power lines are minimal, other studies indicate that there is a coincidence, if not a correlation, between exposure and a number of serious, life-threatening diseases. An honest assessment would acknowledge that,at this time, the research is inconclusiveness. Given that uncertainty and the severe potential consequences of being wrong,prudent public policy would default to placing substations and power lines as far from residential neighborhoods as possible, not pursuing the 9-9-9 project proposed by Xcel. • The EA is written in a manner that does not accurately capture or depict the character of the substation. In fact, it is written in a manner that demonstrates a bias in favor of Xcel. See, for instance, the cover page of the environmental assessment, which displays a beautiful marsh,rather than the atrocious substation Xcel proposes to build, subtly suggesting to the reader that the project will have no aesthetic or environmental impact. See, also,references to statements in the EA that the proposed substation will be "larger"than the existing substation. Actually,the proposed substation will be exponentially larger than the existing substation. This is a hate-iy, h 1 took ofcur the rent substation- m •Oar is in the tom l4 un d I. •m IIP a< 4mainsals 16" n .. I t1/4,III it , This is a photograph of a substation(Bassett Creek)that is similar in size to the proposed substation.(Note: my car is parked in the far left corner.The substation is so large I was unable to back up far enough to capture the entire substation in the photograph): ay ill l ,.. _ ..... ,a ...-i..,:a Likewise, other descriptions and drawings in the EA do not accurately the enormity of the proposed substation. While these misleading depictions are subtle, it is our belief that they can have a tremendous influence over a reader. We do not suggest that the bias is purposeful. More probably,the bias reflects an unconscious belief that the outcome(i.e,approval)of the application is inevitable, and that Xcel's application will be approved regardless of homeonwer objections. An assessment that reflects such a bias should be discarded,and a new non-biased EA that accurately reflects the effects of the proposed project should be prepared. • The mitigation strategies proposed by Xcel in existing plans and testimony are wholly inadequate(more 9-9-9?). Among other things: choosing H-frame structure, which have longer span widths, would have less visual impact on the surroundings. Xcel has described the steps it will take to maintain the lines after they are constructed(assuming they are approved), but it has not indicted what steps it would take,either during or after construction,to prevent and detect invasive species that may be introduced by construction disturbances. Construction vehicles and equipment should be decontaminated before entering the wetlands. Construction areas and rights of way should be regularly inspected for invasive species on an ongoing basis. Rights of way in natural areas should be re-vegetated with DNR-approved seed mixes, both after initial construction and later as vegetation is removed as part of ongoing maintenance. It is not sufficient that herbicides be applied following EPA and state agency standards. Any such herbicides should be appropriate for use in wetlands. The property should not be used by Xcel as a storage facility,or to park Xcel vehicles. 5 • On page 25, in a discussion of the impact on human settlement and possible mitigation measures,the EA states, The primary mitigation strategy to minimize impacts to homes and businesses is avoidance through routing.No additional mitigation is proposed."(Emphasis added.) Xcel admitted it has explored no other sites. Does this mean it intends to take no steps to mitigate the impact on Hunt Farm homeowners and other citizens of Orono created by this potential blight? • In the same paragraph,the EA states that impacts on property values will be mitigated through negotiation of an easement with the landowner. In this instance, however, the right of way would run over property that is held by the homeowners association. The inference that affected homeowners will be compensated for diminution in the value of their homes is fatuous,if not dishonest. Nor does it compensate Orono residents--who share the city's critical concerns, and interest in protecting natural vistas without manmade intrusions—or Minnesota taxpayers whose investment in Highway 12 will be desecrated by this project. • Xcel's proposed efforts to mitigate the aesthetic impact of the substation are altogether insufficient. As demonstrated by the photographs attached to this comment letter(below), there are many imaginative and effective designs that would conceal the substation or present an attractive edifice. We propose that the substation structures be either buried or enclosed, or be otherwise fully concealed from view— both from nearby homes, as well as from County Road 6. Prairie landscaping and planting the few trees as shown on the drawing provided by Xcel do not begin to mitigate the aesthetic impact on the neighborhood and city. We expect Xcel will oppose this based on the additional cost, but we do not believe that is a sufficient reason for us to take the monkey off its back. • While the proposed substation expansion poses substantial negative impacts on the Hunt Farm Road homeowners and other residents of Orono,the alleged benefits accrue to others. As a condition of approval, mitigation proposals should be presented to and negotiated with affected homeowners. The Hunt Farm Road homeowners have attempted to meet with representatives of Xcel to discuss our concerns, but have been unable to schedule a meeting at a time that is convenient for all the interested parties. If Xcel is serious about addressing and resolving the concerns of those it proposes to harm with this substation expansion,we believe they should address those homeowners individually and collectively before further action is taken on their application. Thank you for considering our remarks. We are hopeful we can reach a prudent and effective resolution that is acceptable to all parties involved. Very truly yours, Paul, Melissa, Emily, Julia& Sara Fogelberg These photographs of electric substations demonstrate that attractive and less obtrusive substations are possible. a x e} _ i fr �.4, ti� 4 _ A o .1.- -. u. i i. t • — � .' _ Mme"i , t '` "" . i . -.. foi . w i x f .Y ri h d .; rt� ,r _,_ ."V iw 5 nAMn.P.'hMY+N ••• �I 411S01- a 'Ill Aiminimormmeh �hrvwx rvw I�4 i A 1 101 Mar.gift* ANT,m' 411111 u 'rv�f� •"" ,may.

Please understand that the substation they are proposing is exponentially larger than the present substation. If constructed as described in Xcel's application, it will be a blight on our community. May we count on your support at tonight's hearing to ensure that homeowners' concerns are appropriately addressed and, if the project is allowed to move forward, aggressive measures are required of Xcel to mitigate its devastating impact? Thank you for your support.

ORONO PROJECT 5 6 Q. PLEASE DESCRIBE THE PROJECT. 7 A. The Project is located in the City of Orono in Hennepin County, Minnesota. 8 Xcel Energy proposes to replace the existing 69-13.8 kV Orono Substation 9 with a new 115-13.8 kV distribution substation and to construct approximately 10 1,023 feet of single circuit 115 kV transmission line and approximately 2,160 11 feet of double circuit 115 kV transmission line. 12 13 Proposed Route 14 Q. PLEASE DESCRIBE THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED ROUTE. 15 A. The Company's Proposed Route exits the planned Orono Substation 16 replacement area and heads north for 866 feet as a double circuit 115 kV line 17 on land owned by Xcel Energy and then turns northwest on private land 18 adjacent to the southern edge of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe ("BNSF") 19 railroad right-of-way for approximately 1,294 feet to the existing Xcel Energy 20 115 kV transmission Line 0831. At this point, the Project would replace three 21 existing transmission structures and replace approximately 1,030 feet of existing 22 single circuit 115 kV transmission Line 0831 with three new structures and 23 approximately 1,023 feet of new single circuit 115 kV transmission line. This 24 would result in rerouting the existing 115 kV transmission line off two 25 residential parcels and onto adjacent Huntington Farm Home Owners 26 Association ("HFHOA") property. A new double circuit corner structure 3 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket No. 8-2500-22429-02 Sedarski Direct 1 would connect the single and double circuit 115 kV portions of the Project. A 2 map of the Proposed Route was included as Figure B-1 of the EA and is 3 attached to my testimony as Schedule 2. 4 5 Transmission Structures 6 Q. WHAT TYPE OF TRANSMISSION STRUCTURES DOES THE COMPANY PROPOSE 7 FOR THE PROJECT? 8 A. The Company proposes to use a combination of three different structure types 9 for the Project. All of the proposed structures would be self-supporting single 10 pole structures constructed of galvanized or weathering steel with heights of 11 between 70 to 115 feet, depending on the structure type and location. A 12 summary of the structure types proposed for the Project was included as Table 13 2 of the EA and is attached to my testimony as Schedule 3. Photos of the 14 proposed structure types are included as Figure 2 in the EA and are attached to 15 my testimony as Schedule 4. 16 17 Q. DOES THE COMPANY HAVE VISUAL SIMULATIONS SHOWING THE PROPOSED 18 STRUCTURES ALONG THE PROPOSED ROUTE? 19 A. Yes, the Company has prepared such visual simulations and they are attached 20 to my testimony as Schedule 5. 21 22 Orono Substation Replacement 23 Q. WHAT MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING ORONO SUBSTATION ARE 24 PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT? 25 A. The existing Orono Substation is a 69-13.8 kV distribution substation that will 26 be partially demolished and replaced with a new 115-13.8 kV distribution 4 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket No. 8-2500-22429-02 Sedarski Direct 1 substation. All of the substation replacement will be located within the existing 2 16-acre substation site owned by Xcel Energy and will encompass the site of 3 the existing 69 kV substation. Photos of the existing Orono Substation are 4 attached to my testimony as Schedule 6. 5 6 Q. HAS THE COMPANY COMPLETED PRELIMINARY SITE LAYOUT,GRADING, 7 AND LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR THE PROPOSED ORONO SUBSTATION? 8 A. Yes, the Company has prepared preliminary site layout, grading, and 9 landscaping plans for the proposed Orono Substation. A schematic of the 10 existing Orono Substation site and these preliminary plans are attached to my 11 testimony as Schedule 7. I would like to note though that the preliminary 12 landscaping and grading of a proposed berm along the west side of the 13 proposed Orono Substation have not been finalized, and that the attached 14 plans are meant as a starting point for discussions with nearby landowners. 15 16 Q. HAS THE COMPANY PREPARED VIEWS SHOWING THE PROPOSED ORONO 17 SUBSTATION? 18 A. Yes, the Company has prepared such views and they were included as 19 Appendix C to the Environmental Assessment, and they are also attached to 20 my testimony as Schedule 8. The proposed Orono Substation will be similar to 21 the existing Eagle Creek Substation located near Prior Lake, Minnesota. A 22 photo of the Eagle Creek Substation is attached as Schedule 9 to my testimony. 23 5 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket No. 8-2500-22429-02 Sedarski Direct 1 Q. THE EA MENTIONS (P. 28) THAT THE COMPANY IS CONDUCTING A NOISE 2 ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED ORONO SUBSTATION. IS THIS NOISE 3 ASSESSMENT COMPLETE? 4 A. The Company is conducting a noise assessment and will provide the results of 5 this assessment once it is complete. The Company intends to file a copy of the 6 completed noise assessment report on edockets prior to the close of the public 7 comment period on January 6, 2012. The Company would request that the 8 comment period remain open for at least 10 business days after the Company 9 files this noise assessment so that stakeholders have an opportunity to 10 comment on it. 11 12 Public Outreach 13 Q. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE PUBLIC OUTREACH CONDUCTED BY THE 14 COMPANY PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THE ROUTE PERMIT APPLICATION 15 ("APPLICATION") ON JUNE 7, 2011? 16 A. Prior to submitting the Application, the Company met with surrounding 17 landowners on three occasions. The Company solicited input from these 18 landowners on the most appropriate route for the transmission line and 19 answered questions regarding the Project. In addition, the Company met with 20 and/or had correspondence with the two landowners whose property is 21 crossed by existing Line 0831. The parties discussed options for routing the 22 proposed 115 kV transmission line and the possibility of moving the existing 23 Line 0831 off of their properties and onto adjacent HFHOA land. The 24 Company also met with and has had several telephone discussions with the 25 landowner west and adjacent to the existing Orono Substation site regarding 6 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket No. 8-2500-22429-02 Sedarski Direct 1 replacement of the substation, alternative substation sites, placement of 2 transmission structures, site grading, and vegetation. 3 4 Q. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE PUBLIC OUTREACH CONDUCTED BY THE 5 COMPANY FOLLOWING SUBMISSION OF THE APPLICATION? 6 \. At the request of the two landowners whose property is crossed by existing 7 Line 0831, the Company contacted BNSF to discuss the possibility of 8 relocating the existing line to run parallel with the southern edge of BNSF 9 property. A permit application was submitted to BNSF and a permit was 10 received on October 17, 2011 to allow the relocated transmission line poles to 11 be set at 5 feet south of BNSF property and for a revised crossing over the 12 railroad. Both landowners stated that this relocation was a viable solution and 13 it reduced the existing impacts to their properties. The relocated portion would 14 require the acquisition of a new easement on the HFHOA property between 15 the two landowners and the BNSF property. Upon acquiring the new 16 easement for the relocation, the existing easements for the current Line 0831's 17 location would be released. 18 19 The Company has also continued discussions with the landowner west and 20 adjacent to the existing substation regarding project details and the permitting 21 process. The Company will continue to work with landowners regarding this 22 Project. 23 7 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket No. 8-2500-22429-02 Sedarski Direct 1 III. BAKER PARK RESERVE ALTERNATIVE 2 3 Q. DID XCEL ENERGY EVALUATE THE ROUTE ALTERNATIVE THAT WAS 4 DESCRIBED IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT? 5 A. Yes. Xcel Energy evaluated in its Application the one route alternative, Baker 6 Park Reserve Alternative, that was assessed in the EA. The Baker Park Reserve 7 Alternative is referred to as "Alternative Route 2" in the Application. 8 9 Q. DESCRIBE THE BAKER PARK RESERVE ALTERNATIVE. 10 A. The Baker Park Reserve Alternative follows the same route as the Proposed 11 Route for the first 866 feet out of the Orono Substation which is located on 12 land owned by Xcel Energy. This route alternative then continues northward 13 for approximately 382 feet across the railroad, U.S. Highway 12, and an existing 14 Xcel Energy distribution line. Upon exiting U.S. Highway 12 right-of-way, the 15 route alternative enters the Three River Park District's Baker Park Reserve. 16 From here, the route alternative continues northwesterly approximately 944 17 feet across Three Rivers Park District property connecting to the existing Line 18 0831. This route alternative then crosses back over to the south side of U.S. 19 Highway 12 on existing Line 0831 alignment where it rejoins the Proposed 20 Route. As with the Proposed Route, the Baker Park Reserve Alternative would 21 also include relocation of Line 0831 off two residential parcels and onto 22 adjacent HFHOA property and along BNSF railroad right-of-way. A map of 23 the Baker Park Reserve Alternative was included as Figure B-1 of the EA and is 24 attached to my testimony as Schedule 2. 25 8 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket No. 8-2500-22429-02 Sedarski Direct 1 Q. HOW DO THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE BAKER PARK RESERVE 2 ALTERNATIVE COMPARE TO THE PROPOSED ROUTE? 3 A. Both the Proposed Route and the Baker Park Reserve Alternative have very 4 similar potential impacts based on an analysis of the State's routing criteria set 5 for the in Minnesota Statute 216E.03, subd. 7 and Minnesota Rule 7859.4100. 6 Both routes are similar in length and vary for only approximately 0.2 miles, 7 while the Proposed Route follows the south side of the railroad and U.S. 8 Highway 12, the Baker Park Reserve Alternative crosses the north side of U.S. 9 Highway 12 to Three Rivers Park District property before crossing back again. 10 For both routes, the nearest homes would be approximately 180 feet from the 11 Orono Substation and 275 feet from the single circuit portion of the 12 transmission line. The disparity between the routes appears when examining 13 potential impacts to recreation, tree removal, and transportation crossings. 14 15 Q. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO ROUTES BASED 16 ON THE CRITERIA YOU IDENTIFIED? 17 A. Yes. With regard to recreation and tree removal, the Proposed Route will 18 result in one replacement of an existing structure within Three Rivers Park 19 District property. In contrast, the Baker Park Reserve Alternative will require 20 at least two new structures within Three Rivers Park District property in 21 addition to the replacement of the existing structure where the new line would 22 intersect with Line 0831. The Baker Park Reserve Alternative will also require 23 establishment of a new right-of-way of up to 67.5 feet wide and removal of 0.6 24 to 0.9 acres of trees in Baker Park Reserve. With regard to transportation 25 crossings, the Baker Park Reserve Alternative requires an additional crossing of 26 the railroad and U.S. Highway 12 compared to the Proposed Route. 9 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket No. 8-2500-22429-02 Sedarski Direct 1 2 In addition,Three Rivers Park District may have acquired the land along the 3 Baker Park Reserve Alternative with Land and Water Conservation funds. If 4 such funds were used, Land and Water Conservation rules and regulations will 5 apply to the Company's acquisition of an easement for the proposed 6 transmission line. Property acquired and/or developed using Land and Water 7 Conservation funds may not be wholly or partly converted to other than public 8 outdoor recreation uses without the approval of the National Park Service 9 pursuant to 36 CFR § 59.3 of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. 10 11 Q. CAN YOU SUMMARIZE XCEL ENERGY'S POSITION WITH REGARD TO THE 12 MOST APPROPRIATE ROUTE FOR THE PROJECT? 13 A. Xcel Energy believes that the Proposed Route best satisfies the relevant 14 statutory and rule routing criteria. 15 16 IV. COMMENTS ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 17 18 Q. HAVE YOU REVIEWED THE EA PREPARED BY MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT 19 OF COMMERCE ENERGY FACILITIES PERMITTING STAFF ("EFP")AND 20 ISSUED ON NOVEMBER 30,2011,FOR THIS PROJECT? 21 A. Yes, I have reviewed this document and I have a some minor clarifications. 23 Q. WHAT ARE THESE MINOR CLARIFICATIONS? 24 A. Several of the route lengths contained in the EA for the Project are incorrect. 25 Attached to my testimony as Schedule 10 is a map showing the correct route 10 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 OAH Docket No. 8-2500-22429-02 Sedarski Direct 1 lengths for the Project.

Sec. 14-37. - Fixing rates and charges for public utilities. Secs. 14-38-14-70. - Reserved. Sec. 14-36. - Underground utility construction. (a) Underground construction required. All utility lines installed, constructed or otherwise placed within the city for electric, telephone, TV cable or other like or similar services to serve residential, commercial and industrial customers in newly platted areas, and which utilize metallic conductors to carry electric current, whether owned, installed or constructed by the supplier, consumer or any party, shall be installed and placed underground, subject only to the exceptions stated in this section; however, aboveground placement, construction, modification or replacement of meters, gauges, transformers, streetlighting and service connection pedestals shall be allowed. The requirements of this section shall apply equally outside of the corporate limits of the city coincident with city jurisdiction of platting, subdivision regulation or comprehensive planning as may be allowed by law. All companies installing and operating lines such as those described in this section shall be referred to as utility companies for purposes of this section. (b) Exceptions to application. The following exceptions to the strict applicability of this section shall be allowed upon the conditions stated: (1) Transmission lines. Aboveground placement, construction, modification or replacement of those lines commonly referred to as high-voltage transmission lines upon which the conductor's normal operating voltage equals or exceeds 23,000 volts(phase to phase) shall be allowed; however, 60 days prior to commencement of construction of such a project, the city shall be furnished notice of the proposed project and, upon request,the utility company involved shall furnish any relevant information regarding such project to the city.This section shall not be construed as waiving the requirements of any other ordinance or regulation of the city as it may apply to any such proposed project. (2) Technical and economic feasibility. Aboveground placement, construction, modification or replacement of lines shall be allowed in residential, commercial and industrial areas where the council, following consideration and recommendation by the planning commission,finds that: a. Underground placement would place an undue financial burden upon the landowner or the utility company or deprive the landowner of the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights; or b. Underground placement is impractical or not technically feasible due to topographical, subsoil or other existing conditions which adversely affect underground utility placement. (3) Temporary service. Aboveground placement of temporary service lines shall only be allowed: a. During the new construction of any project for a period not to exceed 24 months. b. During any emergency to safeguard lives or property within the city. c. For a period of not more than seven months when soil conditions make excavation impractical. d. Where specifically waived by the council based on facts presented to it. (c) Repair and maintenance of existing installations. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent repair, maintenance, replacement or modification of existing overhead utility lines. (d) Developer responsibility. All owners, platters or developers are responsible for complying with the requirements of this section, and prior to the final approval of any plat or development plan, shall submit to the planning commission written instruments from the appropriate utility companies showing that all necessary arrangements with such companies for installation of utilities have been made. (e) Placement. (1) All utility lines shall be placed within appropriate easements or dedicated public ways so as to cause minimum conflict with other underground services. Whenever feasible, all utilities shall be placed within the same trench. http://library.municode.com/print.aspx?clientlD=13094&HTMRequest=http%3a%2P'/o2fl... 12/15/2011 Municode Page 2 of 2 (2) All utility companies shall submit annually to the building inspector current maps revealing locations of underground installations and whether such installations were installed prior to or after April 1, 1984.

During the scoping meeting for the Environmental Assessment held on August 10, 2011, certain landowners requested additional, more detailed information concerning the size and visual impact of the proposed Orono Substation and associated and transmission lines. Please find attached to this letter the following: 1. Schematics indicating the existing Orono Substation site, proposed site layout for the expanded Orono Substation, and grading and vegetation plans related to the proposed Orono Substation (three pages); 2. Views of the proposed Orono Substation facility from the south and west(four pages); and 3. Photographic simulations of the proposed 115 kV transmission structures and conductors related to Xcel Energy's proposed route of the Project(nine pages). Please also note that plans for new vegetation and grading of a proposed berm along the west side of the proposed Orono Substation have not been finalized, and that the attached plans are meant as a starting point for discussions with nearby landowners. Should you have any questions or comments regarding the attached information, or would like to further discuss this matter, please contact either Chris Rogers at 612.330.6078 or me at 612.330.6435 (or joseph.q.sedarski(N,xcelenergy.com).

The Project, as proposed by the Applicant, would replace the existing 69 kV Orono Substation with a new 115 kV Substation at the same location, but with a larger 2 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 November 30, 2011 footprint. The Project would connect the new substation to the existing Xcel Energy 115 kV transmission line 0831 through new double circuit 115 kV transmission lines of approximately 0.4 miles. The Project, as proposed,would also relocate approximately 0.2 miles of 115 kV transmission line. While not part of the Route Permit requested by Xcel Energy, approximately 400 feet of the existing Great River Energy 69 kV transmission line BD would be rerouted around the new Orono Substation. Xcel Energy proposes to use steel single-pole structures with spans of approximately 300 to 500 feet between poles; structure heights are anticipated to range from 70 to 90 feet for the single- circuit structures to 75 to 115 feet for the double-circuit structures. Xcel Energy is requesting a route width of approximately 400 feet,or 200 feet either side of the proposed alignment shown in the Application maps. The anticipated right-of-way for the new transmission line would be 75 feet. The Project is located entirely within the city of Orono in Hennepin County. Xcel Energy estimates the cost for the Project at approximately $5.3 million dollars. Project Contacts.

The Project, as proposed by the Applicant,would replace the existing 69 kV Orono Substation with a new 115 kV Substation at the same location, but with a larger 2 PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 November 30, 2011 footprint. The Project would connect the new substation to the existing Xcel Energy 115 kV transmission line 0831 through new double circuit 115 kV transmission lines of approximately 0.4 miles. The Project, as proposed, would also relocate approximately 0.2 miles of 115 kV transmission line. While not part of the Route Permit requested by Xcel Energy, approximately 400 feet of the existing Great River Energy 69 kV transmission line BD would be rerouted around the new Orono Substation. Xcel Energy proposes to use steel single-pole structures with spans of approximately 300 to 500 feet between poles; structure heights are anticipated to range from 70 to 90 feet for the single- circuit structures to 75 to 115 feet for the double-circuit structures. Xcel Energy is requesting a route width of approximately 400 feet, or 200 feet either side of the proposed alignment shown in the Application maps. The anticipated right-of-way for the new transmission line would be 75 feet. The Project is located entirely within the city of Orono in Hennepin County. Xcel Energy estimates the cost for the Project at approximately $5.3 million dollars. Project Contacts.

E002/TL-11-223 Project. INTRODUCTION The above matter has come before the Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Commerce (Department) for a decision on the scope of the environmental assessment(EA)to be prepared on the Orono Substation Expansion and New 115 kV Transmission Line Project proposed by Xcel Energy. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Xcel Energy proposes to construct the Orono Substation Expansion and new 115 kV Transmission Line Project(Project). As proposed, the Project would replace the existing 69 kV Orono Substation with a new 115 kV substation at the same location,but with a larger footprint. The Project would connect the expanded substation to the existing Xcel Energy 115 kV transmission line 0831 through a new double circuit 115 kV transmission lines of approximately 2,040 feet. The Project, as proposed, would also remove approximately 1,030 feet of 115 kV transmission line and replace it with approximately 1,100 feet of new single circuit 115 kV transmission line. While not part of the Route Permit requested by Xcel Energy, approximately 400 feet of the existing Great River Energy 69 kV transmission line BD would be rerouted around the new Orono Substation. Xcel Energy proposes to use steel single-pole structures with spans of approximately 300 to 500 feet between poles; structure heights are anticipated to range from 70 to 90 feet for the single- circuit structures to 75 to 115 feet for the double-circuit structures. Xcel Energy is requesting a route width of approximately 400 feet, or 200 feet either side of the proposed alignment shown in the Application maps. The anticipated right-of-way for the new transmission line would be 75 feet. The Project is located entirely within the city of Orono in Hennepin County. Xcel estimates the total Project cost to be approximately$5.3 million dollars. In its application, Xcel Energy included a description of four alternative routes that were considered,but ultimately rejected. Xcel Energy indicates that the Proposed Route, when compared to the alternatives, minimizes impacts to existing residences,provides greater This document can be made available in alternative formats(i.e. large print or audio)by calling 651-296-0391 (voice).

Energy Facility Permitting Scoping Decision Document • PUC Docket No.E002/TL-11-223 opportunity to share or parallel existing railroad rights-of-way, minimizes transportation crossings, and minimizes impacts to the Baker Park Nature Preserve.' PURPOSE Xcel Energy indicates in its route permit application that the proposed project is intended to improve local and system reliability, reduce the risk of overloads, and allow for additional load growth in the future. REGULATORY BACKGROUND A high-voltage transmission line route permit application for the project was filed by Xcel Energy on June 7, 2011, and accepted by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (Commission) on June 30, 2011. The route permit will be reviewed under the alternative review process,pursuant to the Power Plant Siting Act(Minnesota Statues 216E) and Minnesota Rules 7850.2800 to 7850.3900. Under the alternative permitting process the Commission has six months from the date the application was accepted as complete to make a decision on the route permit. SCOPING PROCESS Scoping is the first step in the process after application acceptance. The scoping process has two primary purposes: 1) to ensure that the public has a chance to participate in determining what routes and issues are studied in the EA, and 2)to help focus the EA on the most important issues surrounding the route permit decision. This scope identifies potential human and environmental issues that will be addressed in the EA. The scope also presents an anticipated schedule of the environmental review process. Public Scoping Meeting EFP staff held a public information and environmental assessment scoping meeting on August 10, 2011, at the Orono City Hall in Orono, Minnesota. The meeting provided members of the public an opportunity to learn about the proposed project and the state's high-voltage transmission line route permitting process, review the applicant's route permit application, ask questions,provide comments, and identify potential impacts and route alternatives to be considered in the scope of the environmental assessment. Approximately seven members of the public attended the meeting. A court reporter was present at the public meeting and transcribed questions asked and comments made by the public, as well as responses from EFP staff and Xcel Energy. In total, 'Xcel Energy,Northern States Power Company Application to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission for a Route Route Permit—Orono Substation Replacement and New 115 kV Transmission Line Project,Appendix G, June 7,2011. eDocket 20116-63311-08 2 of 9 Energy Facility Permitting Scoping Decision Document PUC Docket No.E002/TL-11-223 three people provided oral comments and/or asked questions about the proposed project. Topics and issues raised by the public at the meeting included: visual impact, structure heights, possible future expansion, extent of the cleared area, alternate substation locations, and a route alternative through Baker Park Preserve to minimize impacts to residences.2 Public Comments A public comment period, ending on August 26, 2011,provided the public an opportunity to submit comments to EFP staff via e-mail, fax, U.S. Mail or online on issues and alternative routes and alignments for consideration in the scope of the EA. Four comment letters were received by the close of the comment period.3 Xcel Energy also submitted a comment letter on September 7, 2011, addressing alternative routes and substation sites proposed during the scoping period.4 A letter from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) raised issues such as the wetland impacts, tree removal, impacts to the Baker Park Preserve and potential impacts to trumpeter swans. The DNR also indicates a preference for the Proposed Route or Route Alternative 1 described in the application, as it appears,based on the information contained in the application, that these routes would result in the fewest environmental impacts. DNR did recommended further coordination to minimize impacts to Painter Creek and use of bird flight diverters to minimize the risk of bird collisions. The city of Orono submitted comments outlining issues they wanted to see addressed in the EA. These issues include: aesthetic impacts, relationship of the Project to the land use and planning, project purpose and need, impacts to vegetation and habitat, impacts to cultural and sensitive ecological resources, impact to wetlands and water resources,plans for management of stormwater runoff, traffic,noise and air pollution, and cumulative potential effects from the Project. The letter did not propose any alternative routes or identify a preferred alternative. Xcel Energy's letter proposed use of Y-frame structures at two locations and requests that the EA evaluate the proposed Y-frame structures. Michael Kuruvilla, a resident of the Huntington Farm neighborhood and president of the Hunt Farm Home Owner's association, submitted comments expressing concern with the location of the substation, impacts to wetlands, health and safety impacts from the Project, and economic impacts to landowners from the Project. Mr. Kuruvilla proposed four additional substations locations; these locations are addressed below.

MATTERS TO BE ADDRESSED Having reviewed the matter, consulted with EFP staff, and in accordance with Minnesota Rule 7850.3700, I hereby make the following scoping decision: The issues outlined below will be identified and described in the environmental assessment for the proposed Orono 115 kV project. The assessment will describe the project and current setting of the proposed project area. It will also provide information on the potential impacts the proposed project could have as they relate to the topics outlined in this scoping decision document, including possible mitigation for identified impacts, identification of irretrievable commitment of resources and permits from other government entities that may be required.

ALTERNATIVE ROUTES TO BE EVALUATED IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT In addition to the Proposed Routes proposed by Xcel Energy in its route permit application, the environmental assessment shall address the following alternative route: Baker Park Preserve Alternative The application identified two routes that crossed portions of the Baker Park Preserve; these were ultimately rejected by Xcel Energy in favor of the Proposed Route. During the scoping process, members of the public requested further evaluation of a route alternative that minimized impacts to private property by shifting the route burden to public lands. The Baker Park Preserve Alternative to be evaluated in the EA is the same as Alternative Route 2 described in Appendix G of the Route Permit Application. The Baker Park Preserve Alternative (Figure 1, attached) follows the same route as the Proposed Route for the first 866 feet out of the substation,but continues northward for approximately 326 feet across the BNSF Railroad, U.S. Highway 12, and an existing Xcel Energy distribution line. Upon exiting U.S. Highway 12 right-of-way, the route enters the Three Rivers Park District's Baker Park Reserve. From here the route continues westerly approximately 974 feet across Baker Park Reserve property connecting to existing Xcel Energy 115 kV transmission Line 0831. The route would then cross back over to the south side of U.S. Highway 12. 6 of 9 Energy Facility Permitting Scoping Decision Document PUC Docket No.E002/TL-11-223 Alternatives Proposed but not Evaluated in Detail This section will also describe the alternative substation sites that were proposed in scoping but not evaluated in the EA. VII. IDENTIFICATION OF PERMITS The environmental assessment will include a list and description of permits from other government entities that may be required for the proposed project. ISSUES OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The scope of the Orono Substation Expansion and New 115 kV Transmission Line Project EA will not consider the following: A. No-build alternative. B. Issues related to project need, size,type, or timing. C. Any route or substation alternatives not specifically identified in this scoping decision document. D. Policy issues surrounding whether utilities or local-government should be liable for the cost to relocate utility poles when roadways are widened. E. The manner in which land owners are paid for transmission rights-of-way easements, as that is outside the jurisdiction of the Commission. ALTERNATIVE ROUTES NOT CHOSEN FOR FURTHER EVALUATION None of the proposed alternative substation sites were chosen for further evaluation in the EA. Alternative Substation Sites 1, 2, 3, and 4 were proposed by Michael Kuruvilla in order to minimize impact on homeowners and the surrounding environment. Xcel proposes to expand an existing 0.1 acre site to approximately 1.2 acres within its 16 acre parcel. The substation site is zoned as "RR-1A," allowing 1 home per 5 acres." Xcel Energy addressed the proposed substation sites in a letter filed September 7, 2011. A map accompanying the Xcel Energy filing shows the location of the proposed alternative sites. The alternative substation sites and the site-specific reasons they were not included can be summarized as follows: Alternative Substation Site 1: This site is comprised of three small parcels owned by MnDOT between U.S. Highway 12 and Sixth Avenue South and is zoned the same as Xcel Energy's current substation site. These parcels are not large enough for development of the proposed substation of 1.6 acres and additional area necessary for setbacks. The actual developable area of these parcels is likely to be further reduced based on observed wetlands on the parcels and possible additional setbacks or buffers from U.S. Highway 12. The estimated length of transmission line from this site is approximately 0.54 miles, or approximately 0.15 miles more than Xcel Energy's proposed route. 7 of 9 Energy Facility Permitting Scoping Decision Document PUC Docket No.E002/TL-11-223 Alternative Substation Site 2: This site is comprised of three parcels owned by the Park Gun Club. This site is zoned as "Rural Residential, one home to 2 acres." The Park Gun Club is a nonconforming use in that location and is prevented from making any changes to their current use, including the layout of their shooting range. It does not appear that there is sufficient space within the parcel to locate both the gun club with its current layout and the substation, resulting in a likely displacement of Gun Club. Orono zoning does not permit gun clubs within the city; the club would not be able to re-locate within Orono. Anecdotal information indicates that gun clubs are very difficult to locate within metropolitan areas. The estimated length of transmission line from this site is approximately 0.76 miles, or approximately 0.4 miles more than Xcel Energy's proposed route. Alternative Site 3: This site is owned by the city of Orono. The site is zoned as "RR-1B," allowing one home per two acres. This 39 acre property was donated to the city in 2000 for use as a passive natural environmental park; the donation specified restrictive covenants limiting improvements to the park to allow only for passive recreational uses. The city's 2030 Land Use Plan identifies this site as "Park, Recreation, and Open Space." The parcel is bounded to the north by several residential lots. Routing would require avoidance of the cloverleaf intersection of US Highway 12 and Wayzata Boulevard. The estimated length of transmission line from this site is approximately 0.5 miles. Alternative Site 4: This site is privately owned and is zoned as "RR-1B,"allowing one home per two acres. The site is identified on the City's 2030 Land Use Plan as "High Density Residential." Depending upon the location of a substation on this parcel,use of this site would require approximately 6,500 feet of new double-circuit 115 kV transmission line, or approximately 3,400 feet more than the Proposed Route. As with Alternative Site 3, use of this site would require routing around the cloverleaf intersection of US Highway 12 and Wayzata Boulevard. The estimated length of transmission line from this site is approximately 1.31 miles, or approximately 0.9 miles more than Xcel Energy's proposed route. All of the alternative substation sites would also require acquisition of new land by Xcel Energy for the substation and easements for additional transmission line to meet the purpose and need of the Project. Although no routes for the additional transmission to the alternate substation sites were developed, it appears that the alternate sites would require approximately 800 to 4,900 feet of additional double circuit 115 kV transmission compared to Xcel Energy's proposed route. Development of a new substation site would also require re-location of two existing electric distribution lines in addition to the transmission, resulting in additional impacts to new landowners. For the above reasons, the Department concluded that further evaluation of these alternative routes would not assist in the Commission's final decision on the route permit application. 8 of 9 Energy Facility Permitting Scoping Decision Document PUC Docket No.E002/TL-11-223 SCHEDULE The enviromnental assessment shall be completed and available in October, 2011.

Xcel Energy evaluated these four site alternatives and has concluded that these site alternatives are not reasonable alternatives to the existing Orono Substation site. The existing Orono Substation is located at 3960 6th Avenue North in Orono on a 16- acre site owned by Xcel Energy. This existing site is located approximately 900 feet west of the intersection of U.S. Highway 12 and County Road 6. The existing Orono Substation is a 69-13.8 kV distribution substation that Xcel Energy proposes to partially demolish and replace with a new 115-13.8 kV distribution substation as part of this Project. The four alternative substation sites for the Orono Substation were identified on several maps submitted via email to Xcel Energy on August 29, 2011, by landowner Michael Kuruvilla (Attachment 1) and by comments from Melissa Fogelberg at the w Ms. Steinhauer September 6, 2011 Page 2 of 4 Scoping Meeting for the project held on August 10, 20111. Based on these maps and comments, Xcel Energy concluded that these four alternative substation sites include: (1) several parcels of land owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation ("MnDOT") located between Sixth Avenue N. and Wayzata Blvd. ("MnDOT Parcels"); (2) property owned by Park Gun Club located northwest of Sixth Avenue near Starkey Road ("Gun Club Parcels" —note, however, that Mr. Kuruvilla may also be referring to the Baker Park Reserve land west of the Gun Club site); (3) property owned by the City of Orono located south of Sixth Avenue N. and north of U.S. Highway 12 ("City of Orono Parcel"); (4) property owned by H.F. Eisinger located north of U.S. Highway 12 and south of Wayzata Blvd. W. ("Eisinger Parcel"). A map created by Xcel Energy showing these four alternative substation sites is enclosed as Attachment 2. Generally speaking, Xcel Energy does not believe that these four alternative Orono Substation sites are feasible and prudent alternatives to the existing Orono Substation site. All of these sites would require relocation/extension of numerous existing distribution feeders and would require additional length of new double circuit 115 kV transmission lines as all of these sites are located further east of the existing Orono Substation site. Extending and relocating these distribution circuits and extending the new transmission line to these four alternative sites would result in greater human settlement, land use, and environmental impacts compared to continued use of the existing Orono Substation site. These four alternative substation sites would also require significant additional land acquisition and additional transmission line costs. In contrast, Xcel Energy currently owns the entire 16-acre site surrounding the existing Orono Substation. In addition to these general concerns, Xcel Energy also has several site specific concerns associated with these four alternative sites. These include the following: 1. MnDOT Parcels • these parcels are not large enough to accommodate the planned substation replacement; • possible wetlands at the parcels reduce useable land area for substation use even if the parcels were large enough for the planned Project; See lines 22 to 25,page 30,and lines 1-2,page 31,of the transcript of the Public Comments—August 10,2011,In the Matter of the Saute Permit Application for the Omno Substation Expansion and New 115 kV Transmission Line Project. Ms. Steinhauer September 6, 2011 Page 3 of 4 • it is unclear whether or not MnDOT has future plans for these parcels and whether MnDOT would be willing to sell the parcels to Xcel Energy; and • it is unclear whether there are any MnDOT setbacks or buffers which would further reduce the useable area for the substation replacement. 2. Gun Club Parcels • extension of the new 115 kV double circuit to these parcels would require crossings of US Highway 12, BNSF railroad, Metropolitan Council sewer interceptor and possible Baker Park Reserve property; and • possible wetlands at the property would reduce useable area for substation replacement. 3. City of Orono Parcel • extension of the new 115 kV double circuit to these parcels could require crossings of US Highway 12, BNSF railroad, Metropolitan Council sewer interceptor and possible Baker Park Reserve property; • possible wetlands at the property would reduce useable area for substation replacement; and • it is unclear whether or not the City of Orono has future plans for this parcel and whether the City would be willing to sell the parcel to Xcel Energy. 4. Eisinger Parcel • extension of the new 115 kV double circuit to these parcels could require crossings of US Highway 12, BNSF railroad, Metropolitan Council sewer interceptor and possible Baker Park Reserve property; and • possible wetlands at the property would reduce useable area for substation replacement. As noted above, one of Mr. Kuruvilla's alternative sites may include Baker Park Reserve property. If this is the case, Xcel Energy believes the Three Rivers Park District would not be willing, or may not be able to, sell Xcel Energy land for such use based upon their response to the alternate routes discussed in the Route Permit Application. .

The Project, as proposed by the Applicant,would replace the existing 69 kV Orono Substation with a new 115 kV Substation at the same location, but with a larger 2 , PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 November 30, 2011 footprint. The Project would connect the new substation to the existing Xcel Energy 115 kV transmission line 0831 through new double circuit 115 kV transmission lines of approximately 0.4 miles. The Project, as proposed, would also relocate approximately 0.2 miles of 115 kV transmission line. While not part of the Route Permit requested by Xcel Energy, approximately 400 feet of the existing Great River Energy 69 kV transmission line BD would be rerouted around the new Orono Substation. Xcel Energy proposes to use steel single-pole structures with spans of approximately 300 to 500 feet between poles; structure heights are anticipated to range from 70 to 90 feet for the single- circuit structures to 75 to 115 feet for the double-circuit structures. Xcel Energy is requesting a route width of approximately 400 feet, or 200 feet either side of the proposed alignment shown in the Application maps. The anticipated right-of-way for the new transmission line would be 75 feet. The Project is located entirely within the city of Orono in Hennepin County. Xcel Energy estimates the cost for the Project at approximately $5.3 million dollars. Project Contacts.

The project is within the corporate boundaries of the City of Orono. It is anticipated based on materials presented by Xcel to date that there will be potential impacts to the City and its residents. The Orono City Council desires that all available options and alternatives for reducing or eliminating such impacts be considered and evaluated through the Environmental Assessment(EA)process. We do have a number of critical concerns as well as a variety of general comments about this project. Critical concerns include: 1. The City of Orono is extremely concerned about the new visual impacts likely to be created by the expanded substation and the new transmission lines and poles. The footprint of the substation is increasing approximately ten-fold;the new transmission lines and poles at the proposed heights of 70-90 feet will extend above the local tree canopy and be visible from significant distances from all directions. The Orono Comprehensive Plan includes the goal of preserving natural vistas without man-made intrusions to the greatest extent practicable. - Identify and assess the visual impacts of the substation and transmission lines and poles from all off-site locations, and identify and assess all practicable methods to limit the height of new facilities - Identify and assess all practicable methods to screen, disguise, camouflage or otherwise remove from general view the substation and transmission lines and poles 2. The City of Orono takes great pride in its dark night skies and the lack of light pollution. Identify and assess any potential lighting or glare impacts resulting from the substation and transmission lines and poles. - Will the substation be lit at night? If so, what methods will be used to mitigate the impacts of glare or light reflection? Will all lighting be shielded and downward Telephone(952)249-4600 •Fax(952)249-4616 www.ci.orono.mn.us Xcel-Orono Project August 22,2011 Page 2 facing so that that the sources of said light will not be visible from off-site? Will the structures(substation and poles)be painted or finished in a manner that reduces the impacts of reflected light(i.e. dark colors, flat finishes, etc.?) - Will the poles have aviation or other warning lights? If so,what color? Will they be blinking or constant? 3. Resources that should be consulted and referenced in the EA include: A) City of Orono 2008-2030 Community Management Plan (aka Orono Comprehensive Plan) (September 2010) B) City of Orono Surface Water Management Plan(January 2011) C) City of Orono - Land Cover Classification and Natural Resources Inventory(March 2006) We will be pleased to make copies of or access to these documents available to you. Additionally, certain sections of the Orono Zoning Code establish standards that should be applied in assessing the impacts of the proposed project. City staff is available to assist in defining the various pertinent code standards. The following additional comments are offered as items the City believes should be fully addressed in the EA document: a. The purpose of and need for the project should be clearly described. The beneficiaries of the project should be identified. b. Identify whether the project is part of a phased long-term plan that will potentially result in future expansions beyond those being proposed at this time. c. Identify and list all local, regional, state, and federal approvals and permits required for the project. d. The EA should describe the past and current land uses of the proposed site and corridor as well as of the lands surrounding the site, and describe the relationship of the proposed project to surrounding land uses. e. Identify the ecological features and natural resources existing at the site and corridor of the proposed project; assess whether and how they will impacted by the project; analyze alternatives to the project that would eliminate,minimize or mitigate the identified impacts. This analysis should include(but not necessarily be limited to)the following: Define the various cover types before and after the project. Identify wildlife and ecologically sensitive resources and habitats on or near the project site and corridor, and identify how they would be impacted by the project both during the construction process and in the long term. Xcel-Orono Project August 22,2011 Page 3 Identify any state-listed(endangered,threatened or special concern) species,rare plant communities or other sensitive ecological resources on or near the site. Wetlands - Identify local regulatory standards for establishment of wetland buffers and structural setbacks from those buffers that would be applicable if this was being reviewed and permitted locally; describe expected short term impacts from construction process, and proposed restoration methods; define the long term impacts of maintenance needs; assess the stability and construction methods for transmission line poles in wetland or wetland-boundary soils Woodland and upland vegetation; intended cover types and restoration; maintenance of vegetation, limits on vegetation types allowed within easements; long term maintenance of that vegetation Expansion of impervious surfaces; Level of and intent for maintenance of lawns or landscaped areas; brush control Identify any physical impacts on water resources. Identify whether the project will involve the physical or hydrologic alteration of surface waters in the area of the project. Identify any locations where dredging, filling,ditching or other impacts to the wetlands may occur. Describe alternatives considered and proposed mitigation measures to minimize the impacts of these activities. f. The site and corridor for this project is not served with municipal sewer or water services. Identify whether the project will involve installation or abandonment of any water wells, appropriation of any ground or surface water (including dewatering), or the need for an individual sewage treatment system. Additionally, address the potential for fire hazards, increased lightning strikes, or other occurrences that may involve the need for local fire department to respond to the site, and address the capability of local services to respond to such issues should they arise g. The wetlands west of Hunt Farm Road and within 300 feet of the channel of Painter Creek is within the defined Shoreland Overlay District subject to minimum setbacks and • other standards established within City of Orono zoning ordinances. The EA should address whether the proposal is in conformity to those standards. h. With regards to stormwater management,the following concerns should be addressed: - The project area is within or adjacent to Zone A Special Flood Hazard Areas (100- year flood plain)as depicted on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map Numbers 27053CO285E and 27053C0301E. The EA should address whether any impacts to flood plains will occur and if so,how such impacts will be mitigated. - Identify the locations of all excavation,grading and filling activities proposed. Identify whether excess material will be removed from the site or relocated within the site,and identify the volume of material to be moved from/within the site.

Routing Options Considering information included in the route permit application, the proposed route and alternatives would all result in wetland impacts, tree removal, and may impact state-listed threatened trumpeter swans. Also, three of the alternatives discussed would include additional impacts to the Baker Park Reserve with additional tree clearing adjacent to an existing distribution line. Based on this review, it appears that the Proposed Route and Alternative Route 1 would result in the fewest environmental impacts. It is notable, however that the Proposed Route crosses Painter Creek and therefore, the DNR would encourage coordination regarding how to best reduce natural resource impacts at this crossing. Rare Species A Natural Heritage Information System review was completed by the DNR on March 31, 2011. State-listed threatened trumpeter swans were identified as part of this review. Due to risk of collision for the trumpeter swan, and the concentration of wetland habitat in the project area, the DNR recommends installation of bird diverters for this project along this entire line. Please note that Sections 6.5.4 and 8.1.6 may be misunderstood. For clarification, the Natural Heritage Information System review did identify a rare plant within the search area, but came to the conclusion that this rare species would likely not be impacted by the project. Future Coordination The project proposer has coordinated with the DNR through a Natural Heritage Information System request. The DNR encourages further coordination regarding natural resource impacts expected in the area to discuss minimization of impacts.

Suzanne(COMM) Cc: Kirsch, Raymond (COMM); Kaluzniak, Mike(PUC) Subject: Xcel"s Orono Substation proposal-Ref: PUC Docket Number: E002/TL-11-223 Date: Friday,August 26,2011 3:31:04 PM Dear Ms. Steinhauer, I am a resident of Huntington Farm neighborhood in Orono and the president of Hunt Farm Home Owners Association. I am writing this letter as a representative of my neighborhood. Xcel Energy's proposed Orono Substation is right behind my house and very close to the entrance to the Huntington Farm neighborhood houses(Hunt Farm Road). Not only that this proposed substation will be next to my backyard,the proposed route is next to several of our association members houses with one of the big power poles next to the house of another home owner. We, myself as well as the other home owners, have some major concerns on where Xcel is proposing their expanded substation and how they are going about trying to do it. When Xcel found out that they have opposition from the home owners,they pulled their application from the City of Orono and went to the PUC. We feel that these actions show that Xcel is trying to ram this project down our throat because they are a big company and they can easily ignore the people. We hope and expect Xcel will take into account our issues and concerns and move their expanded substation to another location. Here are some of our concerns: 1. How can Xcel easily go through the wetlands within and next to our association property? What kind of environmental impact does this have on the wetlands if this go through the currently proposed plan? 2. What are the health issues that we would face who will be living next to this big power grid? 3. What kind of potential accidents would we be exposed to from an expanded substation from lightening, storms,tornados, etc. (I have seen occasional lightening fires at the current Xcel station-which is considerably smaller than the one they are proposing now)? 4. What would the economic impact that we would suffer from the loss of our property values if this humongous substation is built next to our neighborhood entrance? I know my home value will be substantially reduced (since it is right next to my house) and I could have a very difficult time selling my house. We want to start out by stating that we are not against Xcel's substation expansion. What we are hoping is that Xcel will find another site for their expanded substation that will have the least effect on the homeowners and the surrounding environment. Though it may seem to be the easiest and cheapest route for Xcel to expand their substation at the current site since they already own the property at this location,there are other plausible solutions available. Again, since Xcel is a big company they may have the power to do whatever they want for their convenience. However, in my opinion,for the good of the people,Xcel should do the right thing- not easiest or the cheapest. I believe Xcel could sell or swap their current property and acquire a similar property to build the substation without losing money. Xcel could make their current property into a small neighborhood park or leave to the wild life . There are properties near the current Xcel facility that I believe are away from homes that Xcel could potentially acquire to build an expanded substation. I am attaching a yahoo map of the surrounding area where I marked 4 potential properties. (1) a property just north of the current Xcel property; (2) a property next to the Gun Club on County Road 6; (3) a property north of Wayzata Blvd; and (4) a property on the south side of Wayzata Blvd (and this property is for sale). These are my initial thoughts on this subject. Please let me know if I can provide more information and/or commends on this. I appreciate any help you can provide in persuading Xcel to move their substation to a location that would have lesser impact on the environment and the people. Thank you so much for your time.

PROPOSED XCEL ORONO SUBSTATION & 115kV TRANSMISSION LINE -DRAFT COMMENT LETTER Rahn moved,Franchot seconded,to approve the comment letter to Suzanne Steinhauer, State Permit Manager,Energy Facility Permitting,MN Department of Commerce—Office of Energy Security,and to direct Staff to forward it to the Public Utilities Commission. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT ORONO ORCHARD ROAD AGREEMENT WITH MCES Kellogg ..ted in June of 2010 Staff began discussions with the Metropolitan Council Enginee • g Services ( . S)to determine their interest,if any, in being a partner with the City of Orono n the Orono Orchar. 'oad reconstruction project. The Orono Orchard Road project is on the C• 's street CIP and is scheduled . 2012 construction. MCES has plans to install a parallel force mai :own Orono Orchard Road adjace't to their existing force main to provide additional capacity an. edundancy but that is not on their schedule .r improvements until 2020 or beyond. In our discussions with MCE they have concluded it made sense to move t •it project up on their CIP to 2012 to take advantage of the ►•ty project and capitalize on the cost sa • gs and efficiencies by partnering with the City. The City 1 also benefit by partnering with ES and that current estimates indicate the City will realize a project c. t savings of approximately . percent or$435,000. Staff has worked through the details and cra -d the attached Co. truction Cooperative Agreement and Attachment No. 2. The Construction Cooperati - Agreement •efines the terms, conditions, and responsibilities for Orono and MCERS in this join .roject. Kellogg noted the City sold bonds in anticipation of th': .roject. At the time the cost estimate for the City portion of the project was $1.7 million. That estima • was educed by a couple hundred thousand dollars with the hope that the Metropolitan Council will .ntribute to ards the project. If the Council chooses to move forward,it is expected the agreement wil .e back before .e Council between now and November sometime. The next step would be to autho • e completion of a fe. ibility report. Kellogg indicated they will hold a neig .orhood meeting to identify an• concerns the residents may have. The October,November time frame .s been identified for a preliminary ' ey and preliminary design. The final design would be complet-: by February 2012 and would be let on or bids in March. The project would be awarded in Ap ' of 2010, work would begin in June of 2012, .nd the project completed in October of 2012. Kellogg .ted there is not a lot of leeway in the schedule an..that he would ask the Council to decide if this is a .roject they would like to move forward with. Kellogg also noted that .ecause the Metropolitan Council has moved this project from 2c 0 to 2012, it is their anticipation it • get built in 2012. If the project is not completed in 2012,Kellogg •dicated he is not sure what the r. ifications will be. McMillan ask-. if Kellogg has discussed that issue with the Metropolitan Council. Kellogg i :icated he has not since he wanted to discuss it with the City Council first.

City Admin. - Long Term Strategy61-6 Item Description: Proposed Xcel Orono Substation & 115kV Transmission Line - Draft Comment Letter Zoning District: RR-1A One-family Rural Residential District List of Exhibits A - Draft Comment Letter The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has begun the Environmental Assessment process for the proposed Xcel Energy Substation Expansion and 115kV Transmission Line project located at 3960 Sixth Avenue North and involving properties within the Hunt farm Road neighborhood. The PUC held a Public Information and Scoping Meeting at the Orono Council Chambers on August 10. Council members were provided with a variety of documents regarding the project and PUC review process with your August 12 Information Update. The next step in the PUC review process is for the PUC Deputy Commissioner to issue a Scoping Decision, which will identify: alternate routes, if any, to be addressed in the Environmental Assessment; specific potential impacts to be addressed; the schedule for completion of the environmental assessment; and other matters to be included in the environmental assessment. Prior to the Scoping Decision, the PUC accepts public comments regarding the project. The Comment Period closes August 26. Staff has drafted a letter(attached) detailing a number of issues and potential impacts that should be addressed in the Environmental Assessment document. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Review the attached draft letter; make any appropriate changes or additions, and direct staff to forward it to the PUC. August 22, 2011 Suzanne Steinhauer State Permit Manager- Energy Facility Permitting MN Department of Commerce- Office of Energy Security 85 7th Place East, Suite 500 St. Paul, MN 55101-2198 RE: Proposed Xcel Energy Orono 115kV Transmission Line Project PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 Dear Ms. Steinhauer: Xcel Energy is proposing an expansion of the Orono substation and construction of a new 115kV transmission line. The project is within the corporate boundaries of the City of Orono. It is anticipated based on materials presented by Xcel to date that there will be potential impacts to the City and its residents. The Orono City Council desires that all available options and alternatives for reducing or eliminating such impacts be considered and evaluated through the Environmental Assessment (EA) process. We do have a number of critical concerns as well as a variety of general comments about this project. Critical concerns include: 1. The City of Orono is extremely concerned about the new visual impacts likely to be created by the expanded substation and the new transmission lines and poles. The footprint of the substation is increasing approximately ten-fold; the new transmission lines and poles at the proposed heights of 70-90 feet will extend above the local tree canopy and be visible from significant distances from all directions. The Orono Comprehensive Plan includes the goal of preserving natural vistas without man-made intrusions to the greatest extent practicable. - Identify and assess the visual impacts of the substation and transmission lines and poles from all off-site locations, and identify and assess all practicable methods to limit the height of new facilities - Identify and assess all practicable methods to screen, disguise, camouflage or otherwise remove from general view the substation and transmission lines and poles 2. The City of Orono takes great pride in its dark night skies and the lack of light pollution. Identify and assess any potential lighting or glare impacts resulting from the substation and transmission lines and poles. - Will the substation be lit at night? If so, what methods will be used to mitigate the impacts of glare or light reflection?Will all lighting be shielded and downward Xcel-Orono Project August 22,2011 Page 2 facing so that that the sources of said light will not be visible from off-site? Will the structures (substation and poles) be painted or finished in a manner that reduces the impacts of reflected light (i.e. dark colors, flat finishes, etc.?) - Will the poles have aviation or other warning lights? If so, what color? Will they be blinking or constant? 3. Resources that should be consulted and referenced in the EA include: A) City of Orono 2008-2030 Community Management Plan (aka Orono Comprehensive Plan) (September 2010) B) City of Orono Surface Water Management Plan (January 2011) C) City of Orono - Land Cover Classification and Natural Resources Inventory (March 2006) We will be pleased to make copies of or access to these documents available to you. Additionally, certain sections of the Orono Zoning Code establish standards that should be applied in assessing the impacts of the proposed project. City staff is available to assist in defining the various pertinent code standards. The following additional comments are offered as items the City believes should be fully addressed in the EA document: a. The purpose of and need for the project should be clearly described. The beneficiaries of the project should be identified. b. Identify whether the project is part of a phased long-term plan that will potentially result in future expansions beyond those being proposed at this time. c. Identify and list all local, regional, state, and federal approvals and permits required for the project. d. The EA should describe the past and current land uses of the proposed site and corridor as well as of the lands surrounding the site, and describe the relationship of the proposed project to surrounding land uses. e. Identify the ecological features and natural resources existing at the site and corridor of the proposed project; assess whether and how they will impacted by the project; analyze alternatives to the project that would eliminate, minimize or mitigate the identified impacts.
