The new transmission line wiD be constructed to connect an existing Oncor transmission line in the vicinity of the existing Addison Substation located north of Belt Line Road and west of Surveyor Boulevard to the proposed CarroDton Country Club Substation· located at the intersection of Columbian Club Drive and Country Club Drive. This project is planned for completion in 2006. Oncor is committed to routing the proposed transmission line in a manner consistent with the values of the local communities and the need to provide additional, reliable electric service to the area. In order to accomplish this, Oncor wants to solicit input for use in determining the preferred route for for the proposed transmission line and share information about the line routing alternatives. Individuals attending this "come and go" open house meeting wiD have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments to representatives and technical experts from Oncor and PBS&J, a consulting firm retained by Oncor, regarding the routing of the proposed transmission line. PBS&J has identified alternative transmission line routes for consideration which are shown as dashed lines on the map.

BOX 13326 Austin, Texas 78711-3326 Re: Carrollton Country Club 138 kV Transmission Line Project Dear Commissioners: This letter is to respectfully and specifically request, on behalf of the Residents, Property Owners and Business Owners of the Town of Addison, a "Public Intervention" with regard to the Preferred Transmission Line Route submitted by ONCOR Electric Delivery Company. ONCOR has given notice of its intent to obtain a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity to construct a double circuit 138kV transmission line in Dallas County, Texas along (Route 4) as noted on the attached exhibit map. The Town of Addison overwhelmingly favors the DART Railroad Right-of-Way (ROW) alignment over all the others (Route 1) as noted on the attached exhibit map. Along this route there is existing ROW that has already been acquired for the purpose of this extension with an existing RXR line buffering the proposed structure and residential area. We We feel this is the most desirable and cost effective route of those presented. We strongly contest the ONCOR preferred alignment through the middle of a heavily populated Business neighborhood in which the Town has recently (during 2002) completed a $4.5 million roadway and landscape improvement project. There is no ROW area available along this corridor and would require extensive property acquisition to accomplish. The Town of Addison appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed transmission line project.

Response: See attached dimensionalized drawing of the typical stmcture to be used included as Figure 1-2, Page 1-7 of PBS&J Environmental Assessment and Alternative Route Analysis for Oncor Electric Delivery Company's Proposed Carrollton Country Club138 kV Transmission Une Project in Dallas County, Texas, included as Attachment 2. ADEQUACY OF EXISTING SERVICE AND NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICE 14. State the reason for the proposed construction. The Farmers Branch -Carrollton -Addison area (Area) is located in the northwest comer of Dallas County, and is roughly bounded by the Dallas North Tollway on the east, 1-635 on the south. 1-35 E on the west, and Trinity Mills Road on the north (see Figure I, included as Attachment No.4). This Area is served by the Addison, Carrollton Josey Lane. Carrollton Upfield. Carrollton Tarpley Road, Farmers Branch, Carrollton and Farmers Branch Gillis Road Substations. Long distribution feeders (feeders) from these substations are used to serve load in the center of the Area. The summer electrical load in the Area is projected to grow at about 2.4 percent annually over the next seven years (see Table 1). 5 Table 1 Year Area Load (kW) I 1998* 457,400 1999* 464,000 2000* 455,400 2001* 439,700 2002 465,900 2003 475,300 2004 484,900 2005 491,000 2006 500,400 2007 510,300 2008 520,200 I I I *Hlstoncal This growth in load is due in part to a favorable business climate that is attracting companies to the Area. The new industriallcommercial developments are attracting residential development and supporting light commercial development. Ifsubstation and distribution facilities are not upgraded, the growth in load is projected to cause the loading on the Farmers Branch Gillis Road and Carrollton Tarpley Road Substations to be 101 percent and 102 percent of their ratings, respectively, under normal conditions (all facilities in service) during the summer of 2006. These overloads are projected to increase as the load in the area continues to grow beyond 2006. Also, four distribution feeders, three extending west from the Addison Substation and one extending southwest from the Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation, are projected to be loaded from 101 percent to 104 percent of their maximum continuous ratings under normal conditions during the summer of 2006. Operating these facilities above their ratings can cause damage to them that would remove them from service. This could result in curtailtnent of service to customers until repairs are completed. The proposed 138 kV double-circuit transmission line and the Carrollton Country Club Substation are planned for installation prior to the summer load season of 2006 to prevent the overloading of substation and distribution facilities described above. This substation will be located in an area that is remotely surrounded by the existing substations and served by long feeders from these substations (See Figure I, included as Attachment No. 4). Four of these feeders are the ones projected to be overloaded in 2006. Three short feeders will be built to transfer about 28,000 kW of load to Carrollton Country Club Substation from the two overloaded substations and four overloaded feeders, thereby eliminating the projected overloads. The resultant feeders will be shorter than the original feeders. This will improve reliability by reducing the exposure to outages of the feeders and reduce electric power losses. The upgraded distribution system will be more capable of restoring service to customers after the outage of a feeder. 6 15. List the options that were considered and the reasons for rejecting them. Option No.1· Increase transformer capacity at Addison Substation and build new distribution feeders. The installation of a third transformer at Addison Substation and additional distribution feeders from Addison Substation into the Area before the summer load season of 2006 would relieve the projected overloads. This option was not selected because it would be less reliable than the proposed project. Long feeders would still be used to deliver electricity to the center of the Area. Longer feeders generally have a higher probability of forced outages due to the increased exposure to the causes of outages (lightning, vehicular collisions, construction accidents, etc.) when compared to shorter feeders. Longer feeders typically serve more customers than shorter feeders so more customers are affected by a single outage. The cost of this option, in 2005, 2006 and 2007, would be greater than the cost of the proposed transmission line and and substation by about $3,510,000. The new feeders needed to connect the third transformer at Addison Substation to the existing distribution system must be constructed in an underground duct bank due to the lack of available overhead feeder routes. Additional underground feeders would be needed as more load is served by Addison Substation. The cost difference would continue to increase as more long underground feeders are built to serve growth in load. Option No.2· Increase transformer capacity at Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation and build distribution feeders. The installation of another transformer and additional distribution feeders from Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation into the Area before the summer load season of 2006 would relieve the projected overloads. This option was not selected because it would be less reliable than the proposed project. Long feeders would still be used to deliver electricity to the center of the Area. Longer feeders generally have a higher probability of forced outages due to the increased exposure to the causes of outages (lightning, vehicular collisions, construction accidents, etc.) when compared to shorter feeders. Longer feeders typically serve more customers than shorter feeders so more customers are affected by a single outage. The cost of this option, in 2005, 2006 and 2007, would be greater than the cost ofthe proposed transmission line and substation by about $4,726,000. The new feeders needed to connect the new transformer at Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation to the existing distribution system must be constructed underground due to the lack of available overhead feeder routes. Additional underground feeders will be needed as more load is served by the Carrollton Tarpley Road Substation. The cost difference would continue to increase as more long underground feeders are built to serve growth in load. 7 Option No.3 -Construct transmission line from the west. The proposed Carrollton Country Club Substation could be served by a new 138 kV double-circuit line constructed from the N.W. Carrollton -Norwood 138 kV Line which is west of the proposed substation. This option was not selected because the new line would be about three times the length of the proposed line and would cost more to construct and affect more property owners. The proposed project (the double-circuit 138 kV line and Carrollton Country Club Substation) was selected because it relieves the projected overloads and improves service reliability better than the other options considered. It is better than options No.1 and No. 2 because it locates a substation closer to the load and improves reliability by shortening the length of some of the feeders. The proposed project also costs considerably less than options No.1, No.2, and No.3. COMMUNITY VALUES 16. List any permits or approvals required by other governmental agencies for the construction of the proposed project. Indicate whether or not permits have been obtained. Response: A cultural resources survey plan will be developed with the Texas Historical Commission. 17. Provide a general description of the area traversed by the proposed project. Response: The proposed transmission line will traverse primarily flat urban land that is heavily developed with commercial buildings, retail buildings, and light industrial buildings. See PBS&J Environmental Assessment and Alternative Route Analysis for Oncor Electric Delivery Company's Proposed Carrollton Country Club 138 kV Transmission Line Project in Dallas County, Texas, Section 8.0, page 8-1, included as Attachment No. 2. 18. List all residences, businesses, schools, churches, cemeteries, hospitals, nursing homes or other habitable structures within 200 feet of the center line of the proposed transmission line. . Response: A total of 63 habitable structures are located within 200 feet of the centerline of the preferred transmission line route (Route 4). 4). The habitable structures consist of: one 8 EXISTING TO TO REIoIHER 􀁒􀁅􀁾􀁅􀁦􀁉􀀠 PROPOSED CARlWl1.TON5\EYj,TO NW CARROI.LTC»< TO NORTHlA)([ 􀀬􀀭􀀭􀀢􀀧􀁏􀀭􀁟􀁬􀀧􀁾􀁉􀁊􀁾􀀡􀀠A < I 􀁾􀀠􀁾􀀠􀁾􀀠􀁾􀀠􀁾􀀠􀁾􀀠CARIlOU.TON EAST SWlTCklHG STATION ,1.St-7'-----"+----I "" 'v \IvV f'ARIiERS eRM'CH GlWS ROAO TO ",NO" Carrollton Country Club 138 kV Line ATTACHMENT NO.3 --NORTHLAKE PUMP. ....􀁾􀀠􀀽􀁴􀀭􀀽􀁉􀀫􀀭􀀭􀀭􀁴􀀢􀁾􀀭. -.CAR-RO-L-L-T-ON\-'􀀭􀀻􀁩􀀺􀀭􀀭􀁴􀀭􀀭􀀨􀁦􀀺􀀧􀁾􀀻􀁾􀁾􀁾􀀡􀁾􀁗􀁾􀁾􀀠:ADIllS 0􀁉􀁾􀀠JOSEY LN , CARRO LTON EAST W.ELM JACJ($QN FORK NORTH 'JHITLQCK 􀀮􀁾􀁓􀁾􀀧􀁟􀁒􀀡􀁟􀁎􀁟􀁇􀁾􀀽􀀽􀁾􀁾􀁾􀀠􀀬􀀬􀀢􀁾􀀻􀁲􀀠􀁾􀀭􀁟􀁾􀁓􀁬􀀧􀀠l SlF i1J; I CARROLL TON 􀁾􀀬􀀠COUNTRY CLUB 􀁾􀁉􀀠BtLT t.iNC VALLEY Vftll FARMERS BRANCH ,ximately 2..750 .feet along the north side of ArapaholRealty Road to an angle point loca.ted approxbnately 200 feet east of the intersection of Realty Road and Venture Court, This segment ofthe new transmission line will cross Marsh Lane.

Cross-link polyethelene (XLPE) cable has been used for years for distribution and lowend transmission voltages up to 138 kv, say industry sources) but the owner claims this is the first U.S. transmission project to use it at 230 kv. Blue Bell, Pa.-based Henkels & McO.ly Inc. began work in April 2001 on the $3million lump-sum contract In lay 4.5 miles of XLPE for the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power. DWP chose XLPE over oil-filled cable despite the latter's longer track record, says Mohammad Kbajavi, engineer of substations. XLPE requires less maintenance because it won't leak and its line loss is lower, he notes. Parts of the line are laid through the Hollywood Hills. where high oil would have been required. And the noisy 􀁯􀁈􀁾􀁰􀁲􀁯􀁣􀁥􀁳􀁳􀀭􀂭ing units required during installation would have disturbed residents in the densely populated areas, he adds. The XLPE cable also incorporates optical fiber, allowing temporature monitoring and hOBpat and fault detection as well as communication capability. -rhe fiber permits higher loading ofthe line because we can monitor it.It says Khajavi. But XLPE entails some construction challenges, says Dian Emami, Henkels & McCoy business dc\"Clopment director. At 40 Ib per ft, the nearly 5-in.-dia copper cable is very heavy. The equipment to carry and pull it at the appropriate tension had to be larger thall the contractor had expected. Emami says the company had to upgrade its 40,OOO-lb puller to 50,OOO-lb capacity by enhancing the engine and brakes. "'It's not a very forgiving cable," he notes. Testing posed another challenge. -rhere are no (U.S.) standards that cover 230 kv for this cable: Kbajavi says. Some 200 circuit-miles ofextra-higlwoltage XLPE have been laid in Japan and Europe. so he consulted international specifications in devising appropriate tests. He also worked with Walter Zenger, underground-transmission technical leader with the Electric Power Research HANDlE WITIIIlARE Cable needed heavy equipment but careful splice protection. Institute, Palo Alto, Calif. Zenger says XLPE testing normally is done in factory environments, and the equipment is expensive and very heavy. But he fonnd a modular system of equipment in Switzerland and air-freighted it to the jobsite. Kh;ya,; presented the results of the project this year at the Western Underground Conference in Burbank, Calif., aI1d says some other utilities now are considering using XLPE. One ofthem is LADWP. The utility is planning to lay slightly more than 5 more miles of the new cable next year. Khajavi says. 0 By Tlwmas F. Armisletui. Pennitting PLANT CHANGES COME AS SURPRISE ARIZONA REGUlATORS ARE REVIEWING actions taken by the developer of a gasfired pm'/erplant under construction because key permitted limits apparently were exceeded \vithout the knowledge of state officials. But the developer, PG&E National Energy Group, Bethesda, Md., says some modifications were approved by local and federal officials and that others full within the parameters of its application_ The Arizona Corporation Commission ordered the fact-finding review July 9 after learning that a recently submitted air quality permit application lists an 1,170-Mw capacity and I80-ft maximum stack height for the combined-<:yde /farquahala plant in Tonopah, about 60 miles west of Phoenix. Heather Murphy, the comntission's spokeswoman, calls the specifications "a substantial difference" from the plant's permitted 1,040Mw capacity and ISO-ft-tall stacks. "Nobody told us anything about the fact that there was going to be a change," she says. A senior PG&E executive says Harquahala was one of several plants to go through the permitting process, ''lith some issues unresolved at· the time of approval. "When we filed the application over al/o years ago, we did not know which [turbines 1we were going to be ac-􀁾􀀠quiring," says Jim Tramuto, western re-8 gional vice president "We put some para-􀁾􀀠meters in on a number ofthe key issues," 􀁾􀀠The U.S. EnvironmentalProtectionAgen-I cy and Maricopa County approved the 􀁾􀀠stack height., he says. . 􀁾􀀠Work on the plant is continuing.
