Independent
Hot Springs County budget approved
by Cindy Glasson
The Hot Springs County Commission-
ers approved the 2019-20 budget at a
special meeting on Monday.
A majority of the budget remains gen-
erally the same as 2018-19, but a few line
items went up anywhere from $1,000 to
less than $500,000.
Some of the items that went up include
the new airport, which had a couple thou-
sand dollars added to its budget, bring-
ing it to $114,384.
Both the assessor’s office and the coun-
ty attorney’s office gained a bit, along with
the clerk’s office, coroner expenses, the
courthouse, district court, treasurer’s of-
fice and emergency management.
Road and bridge was able to add just
under $10,000 to their budget for the
coming year and the sheriff’s office was
given just under $20,000 extra this year.
In order to continue with equipment
upgrades for the 9-1-1 dispatch system,
the commissioners added $38,000 to their
line item. Twenty-five hundred is going
to the Census 2020 for their expenses
as well.
One of the largest gains was court-
house equipment which went from just
over $40,000 to $100,000 in order to pur-
chase new equipment. Another line item
was rolling stock, meaning vehicles. That
line increased to $81,000.
In all, the total general fund require-
ments for the county is $12,825,852, less
than a million dollars more than last year.
“We have to be realistic,” commission
chair Tom Ryan said. “The 12 mills we
have now are only generating about half
of what they did just a few years ago. I
think this budget works without anyone
having to do without.”

Oil production in county increases

by Cindy Glasson
Oil production numbers for Hot
Springs County were released re-
cently, showing a 9.5% increase in
value from 2018.
Total value to the county is
$85,985,988 with oil coming in at
an average of $40.85 a barrel.
Production is slowly coming back
after a dip in 2016 of 54% and 23%
in 2017.
Looking back on past produc-
tion, which the treasurer’s office
has been keeping track of since
1977, the largest jump in produc-
tion happened between 1980 and
1981 when it surged 133.53%.
At that time, oil was just $22.94
per barrel, but the valuation came
in at $207,246,018.
That was not the highest valua-
tion, however. That came in 1982 The new display at WDC includes a color coded refer-
when oil went up to $30.44 per bar- ence of Lori's bones.
rel and brought in $278,589,311.

We have had a lowest point as
well, when oil was only bringing
in $7.84 per barrel. The valuation
that year was $33,156,295.

Council discusses storm damage concerns
by Mark Dykes
Monday evening, Thermopolis Town
Council had some lengthy conversation
about the damage to town structures and
concerns regarding all of the roof and dent
repairs that have come to town.
At the meeting, a representative of one of
the companies voiced concern about the town
not having an inspector to ensure the roofs
are done right, and offered such services.
Mayor Mike Chimenti explained if a town
project is big enough to require an inspec-
tion, the town engineers are used. A certi-
fied inspector is not used, and the town can-
not afford a full-time inspector. He added it
is up to the companies if they want to hire
inspectors.
Mayors Assistant Fred Crosby suggest-
ed taking out an advertisement to advise
people of what to be cautious about when
dealing with companies doing repairs, as
“there’s the potential for some bad things to
happen.” He emphasized asking questions
before signing any contract, and encourages
people to do their due diligence to check up
on them. It’s important, he said, for people
to always keep in mind these companies are
working for them.
See Town on page A7
nent exhibit during a gathering last Friday evening.
The story begins at least 140 million years ago, when
“Lori” the dinosaur roamed the earth.
The difference between Lori and the other dinosaurs, how-
ever, is that she’s basically the size of a chicken, less than
three-feet long and she has the honor of being the smallest
dinosaur found in Wyoming.
Hesperornithoides miessleri is her scientific name and
she falls in with a group of meat-eating dinosaurs called
Troodontids who sport sickle-like killing claws and have
above average intelligence. Think – velociraptor in a small-
er form with feathers.

Our view A look back in time

Customer beware
It seems as if the population of Thermopolis has doubled
in size. With the tourist season already well upon us, the re-
cent hailstorms have brought even more people to town in the
form of contractors, vehicle dent specialists, adjusters, roof
repair teams and insurance representatives.
The sudden inflow of people means there’s going to be more
drivers out and about, most of which are unfamiliar with our
streets — particularly the flagpole intersection at Fifth and
Broadway — so be sure to give them a little leniency if they
don’t make a turn like they should or drive a bit slower try-
ing to find a correct address.
While having more people in town does make routine trips
a bit more interesting and, yes, at times challenging, we are
certainly reaping plenty of economic benefits. The added popu-
lation won’t be here permanently, though some have expressed
they’ll be around for months or at most a couple years. In that
time, they’ll be staying at our hotels, paying rent on building
space that would otherwise remain empty, purchasing fuel
and other supplies and eating at our restaurants.
That is all money coming into our community. As rough a
time as the county and town has had with budgets and add-
ed expenses — the town most recently had to allocate over
$100,000 to replace a drive at the clarifier — we need as much
help as we can get. Rate increases for services are always
looming on the horizon, and hopefully the incoming monies
will take some of the edge off when they happen.
That being said, while tragedy and disaster brings plenty
of people to help, it unfortunately brings those who are out
to scam people out of their money. This situation is no differ-
ent. For every legitimate company providing services, there
is at least one that’s not so reputable, looking to exploit the
loopholes and line their pockets.
If you have damage to claim from the storms, on your prop-
erty or vehicle, keep in mind that you are the owner and you
do have the right to question anyone who doesn’t seem on the
level. Don’t think your questions unnecessary, and ask about
any detail you don’t understand. Most importantly, be sure
to contact your insurance and an adjuster to make absolutely
sure of what damage is covered.
If you’re not satisfied with the information given to you
after your questioning, you can always contact the Better
Business Bureau by phone or online to get a company’s his-
tory and rating, lists of any complaints and how those com-
plaints are handled.
Let’s do what we can to make sure our recently gained
businessmen and women are welcome here, but also to make
sure they’re not just trying to take a quick buck.

DinoLori was discovered in the Dinosaur Center’s Lippincot said there are about 60% of Lori’s
from page 1

dig site in the Morrison Formation near Douglas
in 2001.
Wyoming Dinosaur Center paleontologist, Bill
Wahl, said Lori was found in the same spot as
“Jimbo” the Supersaurus.
“Lori was found while removing a ledge of rock
at the Jimbo site,” Wahl said. “We spotted the deli-
cate bones poking out and over a few days collect-
ed all we could find. Only after cleaning some of
the bones did we realize that we had found some-
thing spectacular.”
Wahl, along with paleontologist Jessica Lip-
pincot and Dean Lomax, paleontologist and edu-
cator at the University of Manchester, UK, were
on hand to answer questions from the public as
well as the media during Friday evening’s event.
Although Lori had feathers, the researchers
don’t believe she could actually fly, but may be
another link in the chain to taking flight. Finding
her small bones in the midst of everything around
her was quite a feat in itself as the bones are hol-
low and quite fragile.
bones that were actually uncovered without be-
ing harmed.
Rather than flying, the three-foot killer prob-
ably lurked in the undergrowth waiting for her
prey to get close enough to pounce. At that point,
it is unlikely anything got away from her with
her razor sharp front claws as well as back claws.
In the past, scientists concluded that birds prob-
ably evolved from climbing dinosaurs that then
took flight from the treetops. Lomax, however,
says this find puts more evidence toward birds ac-
tually evolving on the ground, running from their
much larger predators.
Years of research have gone on with Lori since
her discovery in 2001. She has been to Wisconsin
for study, been looked at from every possible angle,
x-rayed and run through CT scans, right here at
Hot Springs County Memorial Hospital.
A six-person research team that included Wahl,
Lippincott and Lomax recently published a scien-
tific paper on their assessment of Lori that was
printed in the PeerJ, an online science journal.

Town
Chimenti said the council un- Clerk/Treasurer Tracy Van

of $103,287, as opposed to a re-

derstands where the company
rep is coming from, but the town
has to protect their liabilities.
With regard to town vehicles,
Crosby said the adjuster is here
to look at the 19 vehicles that
are damaged. Of the first 10 the
adjuster looked at, Crosby said
he’s going to total five. Crosby
has been looking into buyback
amounts on some of the vehicles,
as there could be up to an eight-
month wait to getting the new
vehicles in with all the bells and
whistles needed for personnel to
do their jobs. Police Chief Julie
Mathews is also in the process
of working out a bid for a couple
new Chevy Tahoes, though a de-
livery date on the new vehicles
is not known.
As for property damage, Cros-
by noted there are some broken
windows at the water plant and
would like to get the adjuster
here for a professional opinion
on any roofs damage on town
buildings.
Also during the meeting,
council approved two catering
permits for Shorty’s — one for
the pig wrestling event at the
fairgrounds on July 30, the sec-
ond for the demolition derby
Aug. 17 — and a malt beverage
permit for One Eyed Buffalo.
Heule explained the state stat-
ute changed this year to allow
breweries to obtain malt bever-
age permits. The permit allows
them to bring their beer — only
their product — outside the busi-
ness. The product has to be on a
tap and not in another container
such as a growler.
Later in the meeting, there
was discussion regarding chang-
es to the catering permit process.
Crosby suggested increasing the
permit fees to $25 as well, as the
current $10 doesn’t cover the
time and effort for them.
Mayor Chimenti noted there
is typically nobody present to ac-
cept the fact that they approve
the permits, and suggested it be
a requirement for the applicants
to be at the meeting where the
permits are approved. Chimenti
further suggested having a list
of rules to which all applicants
must adhere.
The final documents for
the clarifier painting was ap-
proved, including a final pay-
ment of $7,727.50. At the coun-
cil’s July 2 meeting, Director of
Public Works Ernie Slagle in-
formed council that a drive on
the clarifier had broken down.
The town approved ordering an
updated oil bath drive, at a cost
build for the grease-filled unit for
$98,856. It was noted that parts
are no longer available for the
grease-filled unit if it happens
to break down.
An agreement for a land ex-
change between the Johnson
Trust and Thermopolis was ap-
proved, allowing for access to
land near the golf course and
old airport for the anticipated
landfill transfer station.
An estoppel agreement was
approved. Messenger explained
this goes to the Legion Town
and Country Club, which is tak-
ing a lease hold interest in the
country club. He further not-
ed because the town owns the
property, the estoppel agree-
ment is needed. The document
essentially states that the town
agrees the club has a valid bind-
ing lease and the town will not
cancel the lease without giving
notice to the bank.
Residents should expect a
sanitation rate increase in the
coming months, in order to bal-
ance out the Enterprise Fund.
Crosby explained the town has
a system in place. By resolu-
tion, council can raise the funds
by five percent, up to four times
per year. A finalized rate plan is
expected at the Aug. 6 meeting.

Schulmeister returns
from overseas work by Mark Dykes
On June 30, a familiar face with the Wyoming
Highway Patrol returned to Thermopolis, follow-
ing a nine-month deployment to Lima, Peru. In
addition to being a trooper with the highway pa-
trol, Regina Schulmeister is a chief petty officer
and hospital corpsman with the Navy Reserve.
On Oct. 1, she headed to Billings to prepare
for her trip. Her destination was Lima, Peru, to
work with the U.S. Embassy as the humanitar-
ian assistance program coordinator. She noted
the Department of Defense has some funds and
she applied to get them from the Overseas Hu-
manitarian and Civic Aid. In the grand scheme
of the American budget, she said, it’s less than
one percent, “but when you are there it seems a
lot, especially for these areas where they have so
many needs.”
Schulmeister emphasized this is not just giving
money away; there is a strategic goal every time
supplies are donated, such as school supplies, to
make countries self-sufficient. Here in Wyoming,
she works toward fighting drugs, and when this
opportunity arose she realized it was the same
work, just on a bigger level.
“I’m in another country, helping them fight the
drugs,” she said, noting in Peru it is still legal to
grow coca plants, though the manufacture of co-
caine is illegal. There is also illegal gold mining
happening there, she said, and when that hap-
pens there is also human trafficking. Not only are
adults used as labor, but children as well; chil-
dren are also prostituted.
She’s a firm believer that education brings not
only advantages to a person but to the commu-
nity. “That’s why I was passionate about what I
was doing. You give education to somebody, to
finish primary school or high school, they have
with a little bit of paperwork, Venezuelans are
given permission to work. The impact is felt at
the schools, she said, as afternoon sessions and
teachers had to be added to accommodate the
hundreds of new students.
“It was a full-time job,” Schulmeister said. “I
was coordinating the purchases of schoolbooks
and supplies and medicines. And they had to fit
what they need.” There were some who didn’t even
speak Spanish and speak Quechua instead, so
special books in their language have to be found.
There are also a number of people there who
are still members of the Sendero Luminoso ter-
rorist group, she said, and they try to get farm-
ers to sell them the coca leaves and produce co-
caine, so they work to gain the people’s trust in
the help they are providing. Schulmeister noted
they also help the Peruvian military and police,
having those officers hand supplies to children,
to help earn their trust and respect.
Of course it’s not all work for her, as Schul-
meister had a chance to visit Machu Picchu and
Cajamarca. The people were unbelievably humble
and nice she said, and that along with the scen-
ery and buildings reminded her of Thermopolis.
This isn’t Schulmeister’s first overseas deploy-
ment. She was in Kuwait in 2004 and in Germa-
ny in 2012 in medical capacities. Of the Germany
trip, she noted she travelled to 17 different coun-
tries when she had a break in her work, knowing
she might not get the opportunity later in life. courtesy photo by Regina Schulmeister

Grand prize for 2019 is
$3,500 with the second place
winner taking home $2,000
in the truck derby, first place
garners the winner $1,500
and the Herby Derby boasts
a $500 prize.
Additional prizes in both of
these classes will depend on
how many entries they have
the night of the derby.
And not to be left out, there
is also the Power Wheels Der-

Print Zone owner Howie
Samelson said he purchased
the building and the business,
with the sale finalized on July
1. He did it for two reasons, he
said. One was because his busi-
ness is growing and he needed
more space.
The second is that there is
a need for a business in town
to “pick up some of the slack
with Shopko closing.” As part
of that goal, he’ll be bringing

Samelson said as time goes on
there will be some significant

Information sought in
restroom vandalism
Among the facilities available to those playing or attending base-
ball and softball games during the summer months, or watching
the fireworks show, are the public restrooms at the softball com-
plex between the armory and fairgrounds.
But recent incidents have caused concern over how the rest-
rooms are being treated. Hot Springs County Recreation District
Director Anja Abbott said on July 4 someone “went to town” in
the stalls of the women’s restroom, carving initials and messages.
In mid to late June, she noted, someone left a tap on in the same
restroom, causing some flooding.
Abbott explained the restrooms are typically unlocked when there
is an activity and relocked when it is over. If someone happens to

EPA requests additional information regarding Aethon permit

by Cindy Glasson
A formal letter from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to the Wyoming De-
partment of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
may send Aethon Energy back to the drawing
board with their proposed permit for the Mo-
neta Divide field.
The EPA is a step above the DEQ in the
chain of command so their requests for addi-
tional information and corrections will have to
be adhered to. The requests could put off the
permit for at least a year.
The EPA said the permit application lacks
clarity as to how the technology-based effluent
limits were developed and contains no analy-
sis as to whether or not they comply with the
federal effluent limitations guidelines.
The permit application must also include
water quality based effluent limits for all pol-
lutants and the EPA says it is unclear whether
such an analysis was completed.
The EPA is asking for that analysis for pol-
lutants used in all aspects of the drilling pro-
cess and the degradation effects they may have
for Alkali Creek, Badwater Creek and Boysen
Reservoir.
The permit application cites a 2007 policy
rather than the Antidegradation Implemen-
tation Policy previously reviewed by the EPA.
The EPA said they were not aware of the
2007 policy before the drafting of the permit
and to their knowledge the policy has never
been subject to public notice or review. Using
the proper policy they believe the resulting ef-
fluent limits in the permit may result in deg-
radation to water quality in the Wind River,
which may not meet the State’s antidegrada-
tion rules for Class I waters.
“The permit authorizes the discharge of pro-
duced water from conventional oil and/or gas
facilities to waters of the state if the effluent
quality complies with effluent limits established
by this permit,” the EPA states. Further, “this
permit does not cover activities associated with
discharges of drilling fluids, acids, stimulation
waters or other fluids derived from drilling or
completion of wells.”
In this instance, the EPA is asking for an
explanation from Aethon how the fluids will be
managed so they are not discharged.
The permit application also indicates they
would like areas to be “grandfathered” in for
chloride and total dissolved solids, in essence
stating they believe these two items should
not have to comply with current regulations.
In addition, they say the Wyoming Game and
Fish Department “determined that discharge of
produced water from all existing permitted oil
production units in Wyoming enhances wild-
life propagation and habitat.”
The EPA disagrees, however, and is asking
for a copy of the signed statement from the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department detail-
ing the value of the discharge to fish or wildlife.
Detailed explanations on the 5.5 acre mix-
ing zone are being required by the EPA as well.
They want to know what factors the DEQ used
in deciding this was a reasonable area for mix-
ing and does it actually fit within the mixing
zone policy that requires limiting mixing zones
to instances in which there “is near instanta-
neous and complete mixing of the discharge
with the receiving water at critical conditions.”
Badwater Creek is designated by the State
as a Class 2AB cold-water fishery. The EPA is
concerned the high temperatures of discharge
from the Moneta Divide field could be harmful.
By law, the temperature in Class 2AB cold-wa-
ter fishery waters cannot be raised more than
two-degrees.
Because of this, the EPA is requesting a tem-
perature modeling be performed to estimate
potential impacts and impairments.
“A separate confirmation was done for oil and
grease showing that oil and grease concentra-
tions downstream of the Boysen Dam are well
below the 10 mg/L industry standard,” the per-
mit application states.
However, the EPA points out there has
been no such analysis or statements provided
for Alkali Creek, Badwater Creek, or Boysen
Reservoir.
“The discharge is not being permitted with a
general permit, nor are its impacts temporary
or short-term,” the EPA said. “The Wyoming
DEQ either did not completer or did not docu-
ment the load or concentration-based first step
required for a Tier 2 antidegradation review of
Badwater Creek and Boysen Reservoir.
“No quantitative analysis regarding the per-
cent increase of existing total load nor percent
change in assimilative capacity was provided
for this waterbody (Badwater Creek).”
As far as Aethon’s statement that discharg-
es from the field will not result in significant
degradation of Boysen Reservoir, there is no
supporting analysis included in the permit ap-
plication and the EPA wants that analysis in
black and white.
As for the Wind River, the EPA is concerned
there will be degradation to the Class I water-
way beyond its historic limits.
The EPA is also questioning activities asso-
ciated with the discharge of drilling fluids, ac-
ids, stimulation waters or other fluids derived
from drilling or completion of wells.
The permit application is vague at best on
this issue, using the phrase “does not cover”,
but the EPA points out Aethon reported 15 of
their wells at the Moneta Divide field were
stimulated from 2016-2017 using a variety of
breakers, surfactants, gelling agents and de-
mulsifiers.
Research has shown that produced water,
like flowback water, contains additives used
during stimulation and maintenance process-
es. The EPA is asking for clarification on how
these chemicals are going to be handled.
There is also some question as to how test-
ing and monitoring of the discharges is going to
be done. Because hazardous materials will be
used during the projected development of the
field, including construction, production and
reclamation operations, the EPA is question-
ing whether the annual Whole Effluent Toxic-
ity (WET) testing is going to be enough.

Winter staying busy with meetings

District 28 Representative
John Winter hasn’t taken the
summer off from the Wyoming
Legislature, in fact, he’s been
attending various interim com-
mittee meetings across the state.
On June 10 and 11 at Sheridan
College, Winter met with the Ag-
riculture, State and Public Lands
and Water Resources committee.
One topic on the agenda was
Wildlife and Livestock Preda-
tor Damage involving the Game
and Fish Department. Winter
said funding for the various pri-
orities for wildlife and livestock
were of prime concern during
the meeting.
In addition, they discussed
invasive plant species. Winter
said, “This is a big concern for
the State of Wyoming. How are
these plants being introduced
and what is being done to limit
their spread?”
The final topic discussed at
the Sheridan meeting covered
the Office of State Lands and
Investment.
“The value of these lands for
State income and their manage-
ment are continued concerns,”
Winter said.
At the end of June, Winter
traveled to Gillete for meetings
with the Travel, Recreation,
Wildlife and Cultural Resources
Committee.
Winter said the topics dis-
cussed began with the Wyoming
Game and Fish explaining to the
committee about Chronic Wast-
ing Disease, Aquatic Invasive
Species, the Supreme Court deci-
sion of Herrera v. Wyoming and
how this decision will affect the
conservation and management
of resources.
A good discussion and expla-
nation of the needs and the mis-
sion of Wyoming Search and Res-
cue was conducted, Winter said.

highlighted.
The committee also discussed
gaming and resulting regula-
tions, including historic racing,
organized poker, bingo and chari-
table gaming.
“Both meetings were well at-
tended by the public,” Winter
said, “with tours on different top-
ics provided for the Legislators.
These subjects will be brought
forward at future meetings with
potential legislation the end re-
sult for improvement of the great
State of Wyoming.
“I had the opportunity to at-
tend the Capitol Celebration af-
ter complete renovation of the
building and grounds on July
10. There was a special open-
ing ceremony in both Chambers
with recognition of several past
legislators.”

Flotation device demonstration
by Mark Dykes
When it comes to enjoying one of the town’s
most well known features — the hot springs —
those with conditions
that require them to
be on oxygen are at
something of a disad-
vantage. They’re of-
ten confined to only
dipping their feet in,
or staying near the
side of the pool so as
to keep their oxygen
tanks dry.
During the Big
Horn Basin Folk Fes-
tival on Saturday,
Aug. 3, Milton Schenk
will give a demonstra-
tion at Hellie’s TePee
Pools on a device that could give oxygen users a
lot more freedom in the pools.
The Wyoming State Captain of the Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Board,
Schenk will use the inside pools to show how

PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Pro-
cedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Com-
mission’s (Commission) Procedural Rules and
Special Regulations, notice is hereby given of the
Application of Wyoming Gas Company, a division
of Natural Gas Processing Co., (WGC or the Com-
pany), for approval of its Infrastructure Integrity
Management Rate Rider and Meter Relocation.
WGC is a public utility as defined in Wyo. Stat.
§ 37-1-101(a)(vi)(D), subject to the Commission’s
jurisdiction pursuant to Wyo. Stat. § 37-2-112.
In Docket No. 30009-60-GA-16 (Record No.
14566) (Sub 60), the Commission a issued a Mem-
orandum Opinion, Findings and Order Approving
Stipulation )(Sub 60 Order), directing, inter alia,
the Company to file its meter relocation plan with-
in 6 months of the general rate case hearing held
simple. A disc of buoyant material has a couple
small “pool noodles” attached to it with straps.
The space between the noodles allows enough
room for a small
tank — such as
the M4 (A), ML-
6, M6 (B), M7 or
M9 (C) models
— to fit between
them, and the
straps also keep
the tank in place.
The end re-
sult is a portable,
floatable person-
al oxygen system
that provides
people with more
freedom when
they’re in the wa-
ter. Schenk noted the device grants people with
COPD and other conditions that require oxygen
use “the same freedom as everybody else.”
For more information on the OxyFloat or the
upcoming demonstration, call Schenk at 307-
431-8993.

on October 31, 2017. On June 15, 2018, WGC filed
its Application in Docket No. 30009-66-GA-18 (Re-
cord No. 15030) (Sub 66) requesting Commission
approval of its Meter Location Report and Reloca-
tion Plan (Plan). The Plan was filed in accordance
with the Commission’s Sub’s 60 Order. Pursuant to
Open Meeting action taken on November 15, 2018,
the Commission issued its Order (Sub 66 Order)
on December 28, 2018, denying WGC’s Application
further directed WGC to develop a risk ranking
methodology through which a relocation priority
could be identified and implemented over a reason-
able time-frame, and file a copy of the Plan with the
Commission within ninety (90) days of the issuance
of the Sub 66 Order. WGC was granted a 90 day
extension to June 15, 2018, to file Meter Reloca-
tion Plan by Letter Order issued March 27, 2019.
On June 25, 2019, WGC filed is Application to-
gether with supporting testimony and exhibits in
this current docketed matter in accordance with
the Commission’s Sub 66 Order and the March 27,
2019 Letter Order. When developing its Distribution
Integrity Management Plan (DIMP), WGC consid-
ered the Commission’s concern that meters be lo-
cated at the property line as well as maintenance
of yard lines to the customer’s building when the
Company developed its plan to implement meter
relocation. To develop its Meter Relocation Plan,
the Company first reviewed its meter location study
data to identify non-compliant meters and what
risks those meters posed such as whether a meter
is located at the property line, is in a high traffic
area or a rural area or is at risk for corrosion due
to aging materials. WGC states the primary risk
is a meter being hit or run over by vehicle traffic.
WGC categorized each meter based on priority of
risk factors.
WGC is first proposing to proceed with reloca-
tion of meters identified as a Priority 1, then those
identified as Priority 2 and so on until completion
or directed otherwise. WGC surveyed 7,389 me-
ters. The Company identified 1,014 meters that
comply with the new Meter Relocation Plan and
are located at the customer’s building but may
be at risk for vehicle hits and may be barricaded.
There are 6,375 remaining meters that are non-
compliant with the Commission’s new Meter Relo-
cation Rule. WGC states these meters are typically
located at the property line next to a customer’s
building. WGC estimates there are 1,348 meters
categorized as Priority 1, and 108 meters catego-
rized as Priority 2.
WGC estimates that with the use of outside con-
tractors, it may be able to accomplish about 530
meter relocations per year. WGC estimates that
completing meter relocation for Priority 1 and 2
meters should take about 3 years assuming ex-
pected progress during construction. The Compa-
ny estimates completing all meter relocations will
take about 12 years, assuming expected progress
during construction.
WGC estimates the total cost of the Meter Re-
location Plan will be approximately $18.3 million.
WGC proposes to recover these costs through an
Infrastructure Management (IIM) Rate Rider. The
IIM would go into effect after the first year of im-
Pulling weeds

ing up the downtown. The group arrived in town Saturday and helped senior resi-
dents with project before heading downtown where they removed weeds.
plementation of the Meter Relocation Plan, with
annual true-ups thereafter. WGC states it projects
the first year investments recoverable through the
IIM Rider to be $1.55 million, and the cost would
be spread among rate classes consistent with the
revenue requirement per rate class approved in
WGC’s last rate case in Sub 60. WGC estimates
this would represent about a 2.9% increase over
base revenues from Sub 60.
This is not a complete description of the Ap-
plication. Interested persons may inspect the Ap-
plication at WGC’s offices located at 101 Division
Street, Worland, Wyoming, or at the Commission’s
offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming during regular busi-
ness hours.
Anyone desiring to file a public comment, state-
ment, intervention petition, protest or request for
a public hearing in this matter must so file with
the Commission in writing on or before August 2,
2019. Any intervention request filed with the Com-
mission shall set forth the grounds of the proposed
intervention or request for hearing as well as the
position and the interest of the petitioner in this
proceeding.
If you wish to intervene in this matter or re-
quest a public hearing which you will attend and
you require reasonable accommodation for a dis-
ability, call the Commission at (307) 777-7427 or
