Biodiesel is a cleaner burning fuel made from domestically produced, renewable resources such as soybean oil or recycled cooking oil. Hennepin County estimates it will use 368,000 gallons of 5 percent biodiesel blended fuel in the next year in our fleet of 175 diesel engine units, including trucks, plows, and ambulances. Hennepin County has contracted with Lubrication Technologies, Inc. located in Golden Valley to provide biodiesel. This contract is a part of Hennepin County's Cooperative Purchasing Program, making biodiesel available to other governmental agencies. The cities of Minneapolis and Brooklyn Park and Washington County are also buying biodiesel through this contract. As local officials and community leaders, we ask that you help promote biodiesel and its benefits to the environment and public health. Join Hennepin County to Announce the Use of Biodiesel Friday, October 10, 2003 - 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Hennepin County's Public Works Facility 1600 Prairie Drive, Medina (7 miles west of 1-494 on State Highway 55, turn left at Arrowhead Drive) Hennepin County is a member of Clean Air Minnesota, a partnership of businesses, environmental groups, government agencies and citizens working together to achieve significant, measurable reductions in air pollution through the voluntary actions of people and businesses throughout Minnesota. Using biodiesel is one of the many ways Hennepin County can lead by example to reduce air emissions. Sincerely, Mike Opat, Chair Hennepin County Board of Commissioner PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER cj..

Box 800 • Elk River, Minnesota 55330-0800 • 763-441-3121 • Fax 763 September 23, 2003 To Whom It May Concern: } 1366 www. Great RiverEnergy.com Great River Energy (GRE), Elk River, and Wright -Hennepin Cooperative Electric Association (W -H), Rockford, are proposing a high-voltage transmission line project to improve system reliability in the Plymouth and Maple Grove areas. On Sept. 9, 2003, GRE and W -H submitted a transmission line route permit application to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) pursuant to the alternative permitting process contained in Minn. Rules pts. 4400.2000 to 4400.2950, and Minn. Stat. § 116C.51 to 116C.69 (the MN Power Plant Siting Act). The total proposed route would involve approximately 14 miles of transmission line (see attached map). Two- thirds of the route would follow an existing transmission line corridor and use existing rights of way; one-third of the route would follow a new corridor and require acquisition of new rights of way. In accordance with GRE's authority under state law, there may be circumstances where GRE may be required to exercise the power of eminent domain. Following are more details of the proposed route: • Convert approximately 2.25 miles of existing Xcel Energy 115 -kV single -circuit line to 115 -kV double - circuit line from the Elm Creek Substation (located at CR 81 and Fernbrook Lane) to the existing 69 -kV line located near Zachary Lane. This portion of the project would utilize an existing Xcel Energy 115 -kV transmission line. • Rebuild 0.5 miles of existing 69 -kV line to 115 -kV from a point in the 69 -kV line (located near Zachary Lane) to the Hennepin Substation using the existing 69 -kV transmission corridor. • Convert and rebuild approximately 7.1 miles of existing 69 -kV line to 115 -kV line from the end of the Elm Creek double -circuit line to the Plymouth Substation, using the existing 69 -kV line corridor. • Build approximately 4.25 miles of new 115 -kV line from the Plymouth Substation to the Parkers Lake Substation along the 1-494 corridor (near 1-494 and CR 6). The EQB is required to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the project and to make a permit decision within six months of accepting the route permit application. As part of its process, the EQB will hold a public meeting about the project within 60 days of acceptance of the application. This meeting may also serve as the scoping meeting for the project, in which the public will have an opportunity to comment on the scope of the EA and alternative routes may be suggested for evaluation. The EQB will hold a public hearing on the application once the EA has been completed. In November 2002, GREW -H applied to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for a Certificate of Need (CON) for the proposed project, which is a state permit confirming that construction of an energy facility is in the interest of the public. The CON proceedings resulted in a recommendation by the Administrative Law Judge that the CON be issued to GR/W-H. The PUC granted the CON at a public meeting on Sept. 18, 2003. For more information about the route permit application or to have your name included on the EQB contact list for this project, you may contact George Johnson, Minnesota Environmental Quality Board, 658 Cedar St., St. Paul, MN 55155 or by calling 651-296-2888. TTY: Minnesota Relay Service, 800-627-3529, and ask for Minnesota Planning. Current information about the project and a copy of the route permit application are available online at www.GreatRiverEnergy.com.
