The Front Range Pipeline is a new addition to PSCo’s pipeline system from the Chalk Bluffs Hub. The Hub interconnects with CIG, WIC, Williams Gas Pipelines Central, and WestGas InterState Pipeline (and possibly a future interconnect with KN Interstate) for delivery into PSCo’s distribution system near the Fort St. Vrain Generation Station. Gas can be nominated from the Chalk Bluffs Hub through the pipeline’s 420,000 Dth of capacity using existing TF and TI agreements. A surcharge will be assessed for transportation through this segment of pipe.

The Front Range Pipeline is referred to as "CB-FRP" in the following Fact Sheet.

Proposed in-service date: November 1, 1998

Service Levels & Surcharge Rates

Firm Service with Primary Receipt Point

• Capacity Reservation Surcharge is $1.30/Dth of Primary Receipt Point Capacity (= $.043/Dth at 100% LF). No commodity surcharge is assessed for actual FRP throughput.
• Capacity allocated per written request to switch to CB-FRP as a Primary Receipt Point
• One year term, Nov-March term, or month to month term from April through October available

Firm Service at Secondary Receipt Points, and Interruptible Service

• Commodity-only surcharge between $.122-$.01/Dth
• The commodity surcharge will be posted on EBB prior to the month(s) in which it will be effective
• Receipt Point nominated and capacity allocated on interruptible basis
• Capacity can be nominated on a daily basis

Contract Requirements:

• CB-FRP may be requested as a Primary Receipt Point under existing or new TF transportation agreements by submitting a written request by noon, 5 business days prior to the beginning of a month.
• CB-FRP can be nominated on an interruptible basis as a Secondary Receipt Point under a TF agreement or as an Interruptible Receipt Point under a TI agreement. If used as a Secondary Receipt Point or nominated under an interruptible agreement, no formal written request is necessary. Nominations must identify the upstream interconnecting pipeline (i.e., CIG, WIC at Owl Creek etc.) for confirmation and operational purposes.

Nominations:

• Because this is a receipt point under an existing TF or TI agreement the same business rules for nominations, confirmations and allocations under PSCo’s tariff apply.
