SUBJECT: ITEM 5 PROPOSED ACCEPTANCE OF A DONATION OF A 6,500 ACRECONSERVATION EASEMENT ON \ilILDHORSE WIND FARMSKOOKUMCHUCK WILDLIFE AREAKITTITAS COUNTY

Puget Sound Energy has offered to donate a conservation easement to WDF'W on the WildhorseV/ind Farm in eastern Kittitas County. This is a voluntary conservation measure in addition totraditional mitigation requirements. The easement encumbers approximately 6,500 acres of PSE

land in phase one; it is anticipated that another 900 acres of easement lands would be added inphase two. The conservation values of the property are elk and other wildlife, springs, creeks,

riparian areas, and shrub steppe lands. Public recreation, grazing, and wind power generation

would be allowed over the entire site.

The wind farm is in a popular hunting area and is surrounded by WDFW's Whiskey Dick,Skookumchuck, and Quilomene wildlife areas. This conservation easement has been controversialfor two reasons, primarily. First is the fact that leased DNR lands within the wind farm will not be

encumbered by the easement. (PSE cannot encumber lands it does not own.)

The second area of controversy concerns the allowed uses within the conservation easement

property. In addition to the uses described above, PSE also will retain the right to developapproximately 2,100 acres (32o/o) of the phase one property for solar and geothermal energygeneration. Whether PSE actually will develop these energy sources is not yet known and allpermitting and mitigation requirements would still apply. This conservation easement does notconstitute WDFW approval of solar or geothermal development at the site.

V/hile no development would, of course, be preferable, the current proposal is an improvement on

PSE's original intention to reserve the right to develop all sources of alternative energy (biomass,

energy crops, landfill gas, etc.) across the entire site. This easement limits the developmentpotential to just solar and geothermal energy and limits its scope to the southern end of theproperty, an areathat is away from the springs, creeks, and the core of the wildlife habitat. Onbalance, WDFW staff recommends the acceptance of this conservation easement because itremoves the threât of residential development in an areathat is interior to WDFW's wildlife areas.

It also prevents all other commercial and industrial development on the site, with the exception ofsolar and geothermal energy production in the southern portion.

WDFW recommends approval of the acceptance of a donated conservation easement over 6,500

acres to protect critical fish and wildlife habitat and provide public recreation opportunity.5

SUBJECT: ITEM 6 PROPOSED AGREEMENT ALLOWING WILLIAMS PIPELINETO INSTALL UNDERGROUND CATHODIC PROTECTION ONEXISTING PIPELINE, LT MURRAY WILDLIFE AREA,KITTITAS COUNTY

The V/ashington Department of Fish and V/ildlife (WDFW) has received a request from WilliamsPipeline to install a 500 ft underground cathodic protection line adjacent to its existing pipelineunder the LT Murray Wildlife Area in Kittitas County. V/DFW proposes to issue a2}-yearagreement, not a perpetual easement.

This request is necessary in order for Williams Pipeline to comply with U.S. Department ofTransportation Pipeline Safety regulations and the Federal Energy Regulatory Cornmission(FERC) for the safe operation of its adjacent gas pipeline.

V/illiams will re-seed the disturbed area (approximately one-quarter acre) and will provide a one-time $10,000 payment in advance.

The request has been evaluated and it has been determined that this agreement will not adverselyimpact'WDF'W's needs at the property. The Department has reviewed the company's offer of$ 10,000 and determined it to be just compensation.

The Department recommends the Commission approve a2}-year agreement with WilliamsPipeline for $10,000.
