LEGAL NOTICE

PROPOSED HAZARDOUS WASTE PERMIT MODIFICATION AND PUBLIC NOTICE OF PROPOSED REMEDY AGREEMENT UNDER THE VOLUNTARY REMEDIATION PROGRAM

Pursuant to Wyoming Statute § 35-11-1604, FMC Corporation (FMC) is giving notice that FMC and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) are proposing to enter into a Remedy Agreement (RA) under the Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP) for the Former Kemmerer Coke Plant, located at 1733 Elkol Road, Kemmerer, Wyoming (hereinafter referred to as “Site”). Pursuant to WDEQ/Hazardous Waste Rules and Regulations Chapter 1 Section 124(c) and Section 270 [40 CFR Section 270.42(c)(1)], FMC has prepared a Hazardous Waste Permit Modification Request to incorporate the proposed RA and other necessary updates into the Hazardous Waste Permit. The proposed updates to the permit include:  Waste Analysis Plan, Groundwater Protection Standard, Corrective Action Schedule, Hazardous Waste Unit Landfill Maintenance Plan, Sampling Analysis Plans for the Groundwater Compliance Program and Corrective Action, and the Monitoring Well Installation, Maintenance and Closure Plan.  WDEQ is giving notice and soliciting comments from the public regarding the RA and Permit Modification Request. 

The Former Coke Plant ceased operation on April 30, 2001, and was demolished and all above-grade production equipment and plant structures removed from the property by October 2002.  Currently FMC is conducting post-closure care for the Hazardous Waste Management Unit Landfill and facility-wide corrective action under the existing Hazardous Waste Management Facility Permit No. WYD069811404 (WDEQ Hazardous Waste Site #40.010) issued by the WDEQ on December 6, 2005, and renewed and became effective on March 11, 2016. 

The VRP was established to provide a safe and efficient method for cleaning up contaminated sites and putting them back into productive use.  On June 13, 2003, WDEQ accepted the Former Kemmerer Coke Plant into the VRP.  Under the VRP, FMC and WDEQ entered into a Preliminary Remediation Agreement on April 27, 2005 in order to facilitate site characterization, human health and ecological risk assessment, and evaluation and selection of a remedy.  As described in the RA, WDEQ and FMC propose to excavate contaminated soil and remedy the groundwater contamination with monitored natural attenuation.  In accordance with W.S. 35-11-1607, the requirements and remediation standards set forth in a RA are permanent, except for certain situations where the agreement may be reopened or terminated.

In accordance with the provisions of the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act and Hazardous Waste Rules and Regulations Chapter 1, Section 124(c) and Section 270 [40 CFR Section 270.42(c)(1)], the WDEQ also proposes to modify the Hazardous Waste Management Facility Permit (Permit) for the Former Kemmerer Coke Plant.  The WDEQ determined that modification of the Permit is necessary to incorporate the proposed remedy described in the RA, as well as the proposed updates to the Permit as described above. 

The 60-day public comment period for the RA and Permit Modification Request begins May 10, 2022, and ends July 14, 2022.  The permittee’s compliance history (i.e. Administrative Record) during the life of the permit being modified is available from the Agency contact person. The RA and Permit Modification Request are also available for inspection and copying at the WDEQ offices located at 510 Meadowview Drive, Lander, Wyoming, and 122 West 25th Street, Herschler Building-4W, Cheyenne, WY, or at the Lincoln County Library, 519 Emerald Street, Kemmerer, WY. 

WDEQ and FMC welcome and request comments to the RA and Permit Modification Request.  Written comments must be received by WDEQ no later than 5:00 p.m. on July 14, 2022 and must be sent to:

PUBLIC NOTICE

Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Procedural Rules and Special Regulations, notice is hereby given of the Application of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the Company) requesting authority to increase rates to recover deferred Net Power Costs (NPC) under Tariff Schedule 95; and to decrease rates pursuant to Tariff Schedule 93, Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) emission allowances, as more fully described below:

RMP is a public utility, as defined by Wyo. Stat. §37-1-101(a)(vi)(C), providing retail electric service under certificates of public convenience and necessity issued by the Commission. RMP is subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction pursuant to Wyo. Stat. §37-2-112.

On April 15, 2022, the Company submitted an Application requesting authority to revise rates pursuant to two different rate schedules: [i] its Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM) Tariff Schedule 95, requesting authority to collect approximately 25.9 million in deferred NPC; and, [ii] its REC and SO2 revenue adjustment mechanism (RRA) Tariff Schedule 93, requesting authority to refund approximately $2.7 million to customers to reflect the sale of RECs and SO2 emission allowances. The total Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM) deferral from calendar year 2021 is a charge consisting of the following: [i] deferred ECAM costs of $25.8 million after the applicable percent sharing band; [ii] accrued interest of approximately $0.6 million; and [iii] a credit of approximately $0.6 million to true-up revenues from the 2020 ECAM (Docket No. 20000-582-EM-20); and, the 2021 ECAM (Docket No. 20000-599-EM-21). The Company proposes to collect the deferral balance of $25.9 million over a 12-month period beginning July 1, 2022. The Company requested interim approval of the proposed net increase, effective July 1, 2022, subject to further review.

The following table summarizes the proposed price changes by tariff rate schedule. Within each rate schedule, the percentage change to individual customers may be higher or lower than the average due to rate design, customer load factors, and usage characteristics.  The combined effect of the 2022 RRA and ECAM in this Application represents an overall proposed rate decrease of approximately $26.3 million or approximately 4.0 percent.
