Re: Bridger Coal Company Conveyance of a Page 732E Dragline
Dear Mr. Howell:
ldaho Power Company's ("ldaho Power") wholly-owned subsidiary, ldaho Energy
Resources Co. ("lERCo"), plans to sell its interest in a Page 732E Dragline coal
excavator ("Dragline") located at the Bridger Coal mine near Rock Springs, Wyoming.
While the ldaho statute governing utility property sales (ldaho Code $ 61-328) only
applies to the sale of utility property located within the state of Idaho, ldaho Power
nonetheless wishes to inform the ldaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") of
the proposed sale of the Dragline as described in this letter.
Bridger Coal Company ("BCC") is a coal mining joint venture between IERCo and
Pacific Minerals, Inc. ("Pacific Minerals"). Idaho Power is the parent of !ERCo and
PacifiCorp is the parent of Pacific Minerals. BCC mines and supplies coal to the Jim
Bridger generating plant ("Jim Bridger Plant"), located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming.
The Jim Bridger Plant is owned by ldaho Power (onethird) and PacifiCorp (twothirds).
The BCC coal mine is located in southwestern Wyoming and consists of two principal
operating units: a surface mine and an underground mine. The coal from both mines is
delivered to the Jim Bridger Plant. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of ldaho Power,
investments in IERCo are included as part of Idaho Power's rate base for ratemaking
purposes in ldaho.
BCC surface mine operations began in 1974, at which time the Dragline was put
into service. The Dragline is a large, earth moving machine consisting of a large bucket
that is suspended from a boom and is maneuvered by ropes and chains. The Dragline
is used in surface mine operations to remove overburden and expose the coal seam for
extraction. Over time, as the demand for coal at the BCC mine increased, the size and
configuration of the Dragline became too small to continue to operate economically at
the Bridger surface mine.
The Dragline has been out of service since 1998 and customer rates do not
reflect expenses associated with the Dragline. Although the Dragline has not been in

service, under the Commission-approved ratemaking treatment of lERCo, customer
rates have not been adversely impacted. Depreciation expense is part of the overall
expenses of BCC's coal operations, initially appearing in fuel inventory costs at ldaho
Power as coal sales from BCC to ldaho Power, and is ultimately reflected in Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission Account 501 - Fuel Expense Coal when the coal is
burned at the plant. When the Dragline was taken out of service, depreciation ceased
and therefore was not reflected in fuel inventory costs, resulting in lower overall costs to
ldaho Power and its customers.
BCC has attempted to negotiate a sale of the Dragline and associated parts to
various parties over time, but potential sales have been hindered by the need to
disassemble, transport, and reassemble the Dragline, in addition to updating the
Dragline componentry. Because of these impediments to a sale, BCC commissioned
an equipment broker to solicit offers for the Dragline. Through this process, BCC has
entered into a purchase agreement for the Dragline (see the Page 732 Dragline
Purchase Agreement between Titan Florida, LLC and BCC ("Agreement"), attached as
Exhibit A). Under the Agreement, BCC agrees to sell the Dragline and associated parts
described in the Agreement for $500,000, which includes an earnest money deposit of
$50,000, and is subject to a $50,000 brokerage fee. The sales price is approximately
$190,000 above the current net book value of the Dragline. As a one-third owner,
IERCo will retain $150,000 of the proceeds. Titan Florida, LLC will be responsible
under the Agreement for paying BCC the applicable sales tax and for the dismantling,
packaging, and removal of the Dragline.
As indicated above, the Dragline has not been used by BCC since 1988, and the
sale of the Dragline will not have any impact on BCC's operations or its physical coal
deliveries to the Jim Bridger Plant. The sale of the Dragline by BCC will not adversely
affect lERCo, ldaho Power, or ldaho Power's customers. ln fact, a sales price of
approximately $190,000 above net book value will result in proceeds that flow through
BCC's income statement, reducing the cost of coal delivered to the Jim Bridger Plant
and resulting in a lower overall cost of production at the Jim Bridger plant over time.
Ultimately, these cost reduction benefits will flow to ldaho Power's customers in the
form of reduced coal fuel expenses as compared to what would have otherwise existed.
Please Iet me know if the Commission has any questions related to IERCo's
proposed conveyance of the Dragline in Wyoming.
Sincerely,W,

SAFETY POLICY
It is the policy of Bridger Coal Company to provide a
safe and healthful work environment that facilitates the
safe production of coal. The integration of safety and
production is paramount to the success of the Company.
Bridger Coal Company recognizes that employees are its
most valuable resource and is committed to managing an
effective, comprehensive safety program. The Company
also recognizes the basic concept that safe performance
is contingent on individual attitude relative to safety
and health. A successful safety program requires the
participation of all employees to support established
policies, procedures, work rules, and accepted practices.
Safety and Production must be an integrated process;
therefore, no activity is to be deemed so important or
urgent to justiff the existence of unsafe conditions, acts,
or practices. Bridger Coal Company regards safety
and health of its employees as a value that will not be
compromised. It is the Company's policy to provide and
maintain a safe and healthy workplace for all employees.
This can only be achieved through intelligent action,
cooperation and an understanding of all safety and health
procedures by all employees and adherence to them.
We, as employees have an obligation to ourselves, our
families and to the other people with whom we come in
contact, to carry out our duties with the highest regard for
the safety of ourselves and our fellow workers.
Safety not only means compliance with rules and
regulations, but also the development of personal work
behaviors and practices that will not put ourselves or
others at risk or compromise our values.
The objective of Bridger Coal Company is to achieve an
injury-free workplace. This requires dedicated effort and
commitment from all employees in order for us to reach
our goal
DEFINITION OF SAFETY
Safety comes from mastery of their environment
and actions. It is won by individual effort and group
cooperation. It can be achieved only by frained, alert,
skillful employees who respect themselves and have a
regard for the welfare of others.
