PUBLIC NOTICE

Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission's (Commission) Procedural Rules and Special Regulations, notice is hereby given of the Application of Questar Gas Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Wyoming (Dominion of the Company) for approval of the Horseshoe Bend Development as a Wexpro II property, as more fully described below.

  1. Dominion is a division of Dominion Energy, Inc., a Virginia corporation, engaged in the business of supplying energy services in 16 states, including natural gas services in Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. Dominion is a public utility subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. Wyo. Stat. §§ 37-1-101(a)(vi)(D) and 37-2-112.
  2. On February 1, 2024, Dominion filed its Application requesting an order approving the inclusion of the recently acquired properties located within the Horseshoe Bend Farmout field (the Horseshoe Bend Development or Development) as Wexpro II properties pursuant to the Wexpro II Agreement. The Commission approved the Wexpro II Agreement in Docket No. 30010-123-GA- l 2. The Horseshoe Bend Development is outside the existing Wexpro I Development Drilling Area. The Company seeks authority to include the relevant portions of the Horseshoe Bend Development within the Wexpro II Agreement and voluntarily offers the remaining portions for inclusion as a Wexpro II property.
  3. Dominion purchased the Horseshoe Bend Development at its own risk and is selling production from these wells on the open market pending the outcome of a decision by the Commission deciding whether this acquisition should be included as a Wexpro II property under the agreement. If the properties are approved as Wexpro II properties, then the acquisition costs will be adjusted for the value of gas sold from the time Wexpro closed on the property until the Commission's approval of inclusion of the property. The Company contends that approval of the Horseshoe Bend Development as a Wexpro II property will provide an opportunity for customers to receive low cost gas for many years. Additionally, the Company states that Wexpro will continue to manage its current production and future drilling programs at or below the 5-Year Forward Curve and to manage combined cost-of-service production from Wexpro I and Wexpro II properties to Dominion at or below the thresholds established in the Canyon Creek Acquisition in Commission Docket No. 30010-145-GA-15.
  4. This is not a complete description of the Application. Any interested person may inspect the Application at the Commission’s offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming or at the Company’s business office in Rock Springs, Wyoming, during regular business hours or at https://dms.wyo.gov/external/publicusers.aspx (enter Record No. 17496).
  5. Anyone desiring to file a statement, intervention petition, protest or request for a hearing, in this matter must file with the Commission in writing on or before March 6, 2024. A proposed intervention or request for hearing must set forth the grounds, the position and interest of the petitioner. Please mention Docket No. 30010-222-GA-24 in your communications.
  6. If you wish to participate in this matter, and you require reasonable accommodation for a disability, please contact the Commission at (307) 777-7427 or at 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002. Communications impaired persons may also contact the Commission by accessing Wyoming Relay by dialing 711.

CITY OF EVANSTON PUBLIC NOTICE

The City of Evanston Community Development Office has petitioned the Evanston City Council to adopt a resolution for the enlargement of a Use Control Area under W.S.§ 35-11-1609 on a portion of its real property at 1446, 1448, and 1500 Main Street, Evanston, Wyoming. The property is the Evanston Roundhouse and Rail Yards Complex. To obtain public input, the Governing Body of the City of Evanston will hold a public hearing on March 5, 2024 at 5:30 pm to listen to public comment.

The property is owned by the City of Evanston and has been redeveloped in phases by the City for various uses designed to benefit the community. This property has historically been used as a rail yard and as a railcar maintenance and tank cleaning facility. Because of past practices, organic and inorganic contaminants have been detected in both soils and groundwater at the site. An enlarged Use Control Area is being requested for the site to ensure that certain uses of the property are prohibited. The property will be suitable for industrial/commercial use. The following uses of the property within the Use Control Area will be prohibited: residential, nursing home, daycare, and hospital or hospice.

For further information regarding the Use Control Area, you may contact the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Project Manager, Fernando Hernandez (307) 335-6970, or the City of Evanston Director of Community Development, Rocco O’Neill (307) 783-6470. A public hearing regarding the City of Evanston’s petition for the expansion of a Use Control Area will be held by the Governing Body for the City of Evanston on March 5, 2024 at 5:30 pm., in City Hall, 1200 Main Street. The issue will then be presented the Evanston City Council for approval or disapproval.

If you wish to submit letters or written comments to be included in the packet for the City Council members, you must submit them to 1200 Main Street by 5:00 p.m. on February 23, 2024. You may also attend the public hearing and present written and/or oral comments.

The proposed petition is available at City Hall, 1200 Main Street, between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Friday. Should this item be tabled, notice will be given at the meeting as to when discussion will be resumed.
