08:34 AM

Mr. McGee discussed the proposed acquisition for the South Republican State Wildlife Area Hutton Parcel. He stated that the proposed Hutton parcel will replace property that is anticipated to be used for an above-ground utility line owned by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association. Committee discussion ensued on the size of the parcel proposed for acquisition. Senator Sonnenberg stated his opposition to the federal government's action requiring CPW's acquisition of replacement property. Mr. Steve Gray, representing Tri-State, came to the table to discuss the costs of the easement and the replacement property. In response to a committee question regarding the need for replacement property of underground utility lines, Mr. Will stated that the National Park Service does not consider an underground utility line to be a conversion from outdoor recreation.
