SUPPLEMENT, DATED MARCH 21, 2013, TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT, DATED JULY 24, 1990
The opinion of Chapman and Cutler delivered on July 25, 1990, stated that, subject to compliance by the Company and the Issuer
with certain covenants, under then-existing law (a) interest on the Bonds is not includible in gross income of the Owners thereof for federal
income tax purposes, except for interest on any Bond for any period during which such Bond is owned by a person who is a substantial user
of the Facilities or any person considered to be related to such person (within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, as amended) and (b) interest on the Bonds will not be treated as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative
minimum tax for individuals and corporations. Such interest will be taken into account, however, in computing an adjustment used in
determining the alternative minimum tax for certain corporations. Such opinion of Bond Counsel was also to the effect that under
then-existing law such interest will be exempt from certain Wyoming taxes. Such opinion has not been updated as of the date hereof. In
the opinion of Bond Counsel to be delivered in connection with the delivery of the Replacement Letter of Credit, the delivery of the
Replacement Letter of Credit will not cause the interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes. See “TAX EXEMPTION” herein for a more complete discussion.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT” AND, TOGETHER WITH THIS SUPPLEMENT TO
OFFICIAL STATEMENT, THE “OFFICIAL STATEMENT”), EXCEPT WHERE
THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN THE DOCUMENTS OR MORE RECENT
INFORMATION SINCE THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
THIS SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT SHOULD THEREFORE BE
READ ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORIGINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
This Supplement to Official Statement is provided to furnish certain information with
respect to the reoffering of the Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (PacifiCorp Project)
Series 1990A (the “Bonds”) currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of
$70,000,000, issued by Sweetwater County, Wyoming (the “Issuer”).
The Bonds were issued pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of July 1, 1990 (the
“Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
(successor in interest to The First National Bank of Chicago), as Trustee (the “Trustee”). The
proceeds from the sale of the Bonds were loaned to PacifiCorp (the “Company”) pursuant to the
terms of a Loan Agreement dated as of July 1, 1990 (the “Agreement”), between the Issuer and
the Company. Under the Agreement, the Company is unconditionally obligated to pay amounts
sufficient to provide for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
(the “Loan Payments”) and for payment of the purchase price of the Bonds. The proceeds of the
Bonds, together with certain other moneys of the Company, were used for the purposes set forth
in the Original Official Statement.
The Bonds, together with premium, if any, and interest thereon, are limited and not
general, obligations of the Issuer not constituting or giving rise to a pecuniary liability of
the Issuer nor any charge against its general credit or taxing powers nor an indebtedness of
or a loan of credit thereof, shall be payable solely from the Revenues (as defined in the
Indenture and which includes moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit) and other moneys
pledged therefor under the Indenture, and shall be a valid claim of the holders thereof only
against the Bond Fund (as defined in the Indenture), Revenues and other moneys held by
the Trustee as part of the Trust Estate (as defined in the Indenture). The Issuer shall not
be obligated to pay the purchase price of any of the Bonds from any source.
2
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on any of the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or upon any obligation,
covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture, against any past, present or future
officer or employee of the Issuer, or any incorporator, officer, director or member of any
successor corporation, as such, either directly, or through the Issuer or any successor
corporation, under any rule of law or equity, statute or constitution or by the enforcement
of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, and all such liability of any such incorporator,
officer, director or member as such was expressly waived and released as a condition of
and in consideration for the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of the Bonds.
The Company has exercised its right under the Agreement and the Indenture to terminate
the Letter of Credit, dated May 16, 2012 (the “Existing Letter of Credit”) and issued by Barclays
Bank PLC, New York Branch (the “Prior Bank”), with respect to the Bonds, which has
supported payment of the principal, interest and purchase price of the Bonds since the date the
Existing Letter of Credit was issued. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company has elected to
replace the Existing Letter of Credit with an Irrevocable Transferrable Direct Pay Letter of
Credit (the “Letter of Credit”) to be issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia, a bank organized under
the laws of Canada, acting through its New York Agency (the “Bank”). The Letter of Credit will
be delivered to the Trustee on March 26, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) and, after such date, the
Bonds will not have the benefit of the Existing Letter of Credit.
With respect to the Bonds, the Trustee will be entitled to draw under the Letter of Credit
up to (a) an amount sufficient to pay (i) the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Bonds or
(ii) the portion of the purchase price of such Bonds corresponding to such unpaid principal
amount plus (b) an amount sufficient to pay (i) up to 65 days’ accrued interest on the Bonds
(calculated at the maximum rate of 12% per annum and on the basis of a year of 365 days) or
(ii) the portion of the purchase price of the Bonds corresponding to such accrued interest. The
Letter of Credit will only be available to be drawn on with respect to related Bonds bearing
interest at a rate other than a Term Interest Rate (as defined in the Indenture).
After the date of delivery of the Letter of Credit, the Company is permitted under the
Agreements and the Indenture to provide a substitute letter of credit (the “Substitute Letter of
Credit”), which is issued by the same Bank that issued the then existing Letter of Credit and
which is identical to such Letter of Credit except for (i) an increase or decrease in the Interest
Coverage Rate (as defined in the Indenture), (ii) an increase or decrease in the Interest Coverage
Period (as defined in the Indenture) or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii). As used hereafter,
“Letter of Credit” shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean such Substitute Letter of
Credit from and after the issuance date thereof. The Company also is permitted under the
Agreement and Indenture to provide for the delivery of an alternate credit facility, including a
letter of credit of a commercial bank or a credit facility from a financial institution, or any other
credit support agreement or mechanism arranged by the Company (which may involve a letter of
credit or other credit facility or first mortgage bonds of the Company or an insurance policy), the
administration provisions of which are acceptable to the Trustee (an “Alternate Credit Facility”),
to replace a Letter of Credit or provide for the termination of a Letter of Credit or any Alternate
Credit Facility then in effect. See “THE LETTER OF CREDIT” and the Official Statement
under the caption “THE BONDS —Purchase of Bonds.”

Prior to the delivery of the Letter of Credit, the Bonds were bearing interest at a Weekly
Interest Rate. Following the delivery of the Letter of Credit, the Bonds will continue to bear
interest at a Weekly Interest Rate; subject to the right of the Company to cause the interest rate
on the Bonds to be converted to other interest rate determination methods as described in the
Official Statement.
Reference is hereby made to the Bonds in their entirety for the detailed provisions
thereof.

and to declare the principal of all Bonds then outstanding to be immediately due and payable,
(c) declare the principal amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, all interest thereon and all
other amounts payable under the Reimbursement Agreement or any other Credit Document to be
forthwith due and payable, which will cause all such principal, interest and all such other

any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company and (d) in addition to other rights
and remedies provided for in the Reimbursement Agreement or in the Custodian Agreement or
otherwise available to the Bank, as holder of the Pledged Bonds or otherwise, exercise all the
rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect
in the State of New York at that time; provided that, if an Event of Default described in
subpart (g) or (i) under the heading “Events of Default,” above, shall have occurred,
automatically, (x) the obligation of the Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement to issue the

thereon and all other amounts payable under the Reimbursement Agreement or under any other
11
Credit Document will become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or further
notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company.
REMARKETING AGENT
General. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Remarketing Agent”), will continue as
remarketing agent for the Bonds. Subject to certain conditions, the Remarketing Agent has
agreed to determine the rates of interest on the Bonds and use its best efforts to remarket all
tendered Bonds.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Remarketing Agent has engaged, and may in
the future engage, in investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with the
Company, its subsidiaries and its other affiliates, for which it has received and will receive
customary compensation.
Special Considerations. The Remarketing Agent is Paid by the Company. The
Remarketing Agent’s responsibilities include determining the interest rate from time to time and
remarketing Bonds that are optionally or mandatorily tendered by the owners thereof (subject, in
each case, to the terms of the Indentures and the Remarketing Agreement), all as further
described in this Supplement. The Remarketing Agent is appointed by the Company and paid by
the Company for its services. As a result, the interests of the Remarketing Agent may differ
from those of existing Holders and potential purchasers of Bonds.
The Remarketing Agent May Purchase Bonds for Its Own Account. The Remarketing
Agent acts as remarketing agent for a variety of variable rate demand obligations and, in its sole
discretion, may purchase such obligations for its own account. The Remarketing Agent is
permitted, but not obligated, to purchase tendered Bonds for its own account and, in its sole
discretion, may acquire such tendered Bonds in order to achieve a successful remarketing of the
Bonds (i.e., because there otherwise are not enough buyers to purchase the Bonds) or for other
reasons. However, the Remarketing Agent is not obligated to purchase Bonds, and may cease
doing so at any time without notice. The Remarketing Agent may also make a market in the
Bonds by purchasing and selling Bonds other than in connection with an optional or mandatory
tender and remarketing. Such purchases and sales may be at or below par. However, the
Remarketing Agent is not required to make a market in the Bonds. The Remarketing Agent may
also sell any Bonds it has purchased to one or more affiliated investment vehicles for collective
ownership or enter into derivative arrangements with affiliates or others in order to reduce its
exposure to the Bonds. The purchase of Bonds by the Remarketing Agent may create the
appearance that there is greater third party demand for the Bonds in the market than is actually
the case. The practices described above also may result in fewer Bonds being tendered in a
remarketing.
Bonds May Be Offered at Different Prices on Any Date Including an Interest Rate
Determination Date. Pursuant to each Indenture and Remarketing Agreement, the Remarketing
Agent is required to determine the applicable rate of interest that, in its judgment, is the lowest
rate that would permit the sale of the Bonds bearing interest at the applicable interest rate at par
plus accrued interest, if any, on and as of the applicable interest rate determination date. The
interest rate will reflect, among other factors, the level of market demand for the Bonds
12
(including whether the Remarketing Agent is willing to purchase Bonds for its own accounts).
There may or may not be Bonds tendered and remarketed on an interest rate determination date,
the Remarketing Agent may or may not be able to remarket any Bonds tendered for purchase on
such date at par and the Remarketing Agent may sell Bonds at varying prices to different
investors on such date or any other date. The Remarketing Agent is not obligated to advise
purchasers in a remarketing if it does not have third party buyers for all of the Bonds at the
remarketing price. In the event the Remarketing Agent owns any Bonds for its own account, it
may, in its sole discretion in a secondary market transaction outside the tender process, offer
such Bonds on any date, including the interest rate determination date, at a discount to par to
some investors.
The Ability to Sell the Bonds Other Than Through the Tender Process May Be Limited.
The Remarketing Agent may buy and sell Bonds other than through the tender process.
However, it is not obligated to do so and may cease doing so at any time without notice and may
require Holders that wish to tender their Bonds to do so through the Trustee with appropriate
notice. Thus, investors who purchase the Bonds, whether in a remarketing or otherwise, should
not assume that they will be able to sell their Bonds other than by tendering the Bonds in
accordance with the tender process.
The Remarketing Agent May Resign, be Removed or Cease Remarketing the Bonds,
Without a Successor Being Named. Under certain circumstances, the Remarketing Agent may be
removed or have the ability to resign or cease its remarketing efforts without a successor having
been named, subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Remarketing Agreement.
TAX EXEMPTION
The opinion of Chapman and Cutler delivered on July 25, 1990 stated that, subject to
compliance by the Company and the Issuer with certain covenants made to satisfy pertinent
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, under then-existing law, interest on the Bonds is not includible in gross income of the
owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, except for interest on any Bond for any period
during which such Bond is owned by a person who is a substantial user of the related project or
facilities or any person considered to be related to such person (within the meaning of
Section 103(b)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954), and the interest on the Bonds will not
be treated as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals
and corporations (because the Prior Bonds were issued prior to August 8, 1986). Such interest
will be taken into account, however, in computing an adjustment used in determining the
alternative minimum tax for certain corporations. As indicated in such opinions, the failure to
comply with certain of such covenants of the applicable Issuer and the Company could cause the
interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the
Bonds. Chapman and Cutler LLP (“Bond Counsel”) has made no independent investigation to
confirm that such covenants have been complied with.
Bond Counsel will deliver an opinion for the Bonds in connection with delivery of the
Letter of Credit, in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix D, to the effect that the
delivery of the Letter of Credit (i) is authorized under and complies with the terms of the
Agreement and (ii) will not impair the validity under the Act of the Bonds or will not cause the
13
interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the Owners thereof for federal
income tax purposes. Except as necessary to render the foregoing opinions, Bond Counsel has
not reviewed any factual or legal matters relating to its opinion dated July 25, 1990 subsequent to
its issuance other than with respect to the Company in connection with (a) the delivery of an
Irrevocable Transferrable Direct Pay Letter of Credit, described in its opinion dated as of
July 19, 2000, (b) delivery of an earlier Letter of Credit, described in its opinion dated
September 15, 2004, (c) delivery of an amendment to such earlier Letter of Credit, described in
its opinion dated November 30, 2005, (d) delivery of the Existing Letter of Credit, described in
its opinion dated May 16, 2012 and (e) delivery of the Letter of Credit described herein. The
opinion delivered in connection with delivery of the Letter of Credit is not to be interpreted as a
reissuance of the original approving opinion as of the date of this Supplement to Official
Statement.
Ownership of the Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to
certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, corporations subject to either the environmental
tax or the branch profits tax, financial institutions, certain insurance companies, certain
S Corporations, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and
taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred (or continued) indebtedness to purchase or carry
tax-exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors as
to applicability of any such collateral consequences.
MISCELLANEOUS
This Supplement to Official Statement has been approved by the Company for
distribution by the Remarketing Agent to current Bondholders and potential purchasers of the
Bonds. THE ISSUER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO AND HAS
NOT PARTICIPATED IN THE PREPARATION OF ANY PORTION OF THIS
SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

Re: $70,000,000
Sweetwater County, Wyoming
Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds
(PacifiCorp Project) Series 1990A (the “Bonds”)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with Section 4.03(b) of that certain Loan
Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1990 (the “Loan Agreement”), between Sweetwater County
Wyoming (the “Issuer”) and PacifiCorp (the “Company”). Prior to the date hereof, payment of
principal and purchase price of and interest on the Bonds was secured by a credit facility issued
by Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch (the “Existing Letter of Credit”). On the date hereof,
the Company desires to deliver a Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit”) to be issued by The
Bank of Nova Scotia, New York Agency (the “Bank”), for the benefit of the Trustee (defined
below).
We have examined the law and such documents and matters as we have deemed
necessary to provide this opinion letter. As to questions of fact material to the opinions
expressed herein, we have relied upon the provisions of the Trust Indenture, dated as of July 1,
1990 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., as successor trustee (the “Trustee”) and related documents, and upon representations,
including regarding the consent of the Owners, made to us without undertaking to verify the
same by independent investigation.
The terms used herein denoted by initial capitals and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings specified in the Indenture.
D-2
Based upon the foregoing and as of the date hereof, we are of the opinion that:
1. The delivery of the Letter of Credit is authorized under the Loan
Agreement and complies with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
2. The delivery of the Letter of Credit will not impair the validity under the
Act of the Bonds and will not cause interest on the Bonds to become includible in the
gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes.
At the time of the issuance of the Bonds, we rendered our approving opinion relating to,
among other things, the validity of the Bonds and the exclusion from federal income taxation of
interest on the Bonds. We have not been requested, nor have we undertaken, to make an
independent investigation to confirm that the Company and the Issuer have complied with the
provisions of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement, the Tax Certificate (as defined in the
Indenture) and other documents relating to the Bonds, or to review any other events that may
have occurred since such approving opinion was rendered other than with respect to the
Company in connection with (a) the delivery of an Irrevocable Letter of Credit, described in our
opinion dated as of July 19, 2000, (b) the delivery of an Irrevocable Transferrable Direct Pay
Letter of Credit, described in our opinion dated September 15, 2004, (c) the delivery of the
amendment to an earlier Letter of Credit, described in our opinion dated November 30, 2005, (d)
the delivery of the Existing Letter of Credit, described in our opinion dated May 16, 2012 and (e)
the delivery of the Letter of Credit described herein. Accordingly, we do not express any
opinion with respect to the Bonds, except as described above.
Our opinion represents our legal judgment based upon our review of the law and the facts
that we deem relevant to render such opinion and is not a guarantee of a result. This opinion is
given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to review or supplement this opinion to
reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law
that may hereafter occur.
In rendering this opinion as Bond Counsel, we are passing only upon those matters set
forth in this opinion and are not passing upon the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any
information furnished to any person in connection with any offer or sale of the Bonds.
Respectfully submitted,
