(Trojan Nuclear Plant)
Docket No. 50-344 (Control Buildina)
Gentlemen:
By this letter, I am completing service of Oregon Exhibit M-7, received into the record at the December 28, 1979 hearing on motions.
(See, Tr. 3254.)
The exhibit, a statement prepared by Lee Johnson, Executive Assistant to Governor Victor Atiyeh, makes reference to two documents.
The first is an executive order issued by President Carter in response to a request by Governor Atiyeh, temporarily suspending provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act and of Oregon's Imple-mentation Plan, due to the existence of a regional energy emergency, thereby permitting operation of Portland General Electric Company's Harborton combustion turbine facility.
The second document is Order No. 78-23 of the Oregon Public Utility Commissioner, dated November 6, 1978, setting forth the " Oregon Electric Curtailment plan."
The two documents referred to in Mr. Johnson's statement were not distributed at the December 28, 1979 hearing.
Given the Board's viewpoint 1810 124 6 8001250 O 2 1
ASJ.3 Jascary 2, 1980 2 age 2 as to the limited materiality of information on need for power, distribution of the documents did not seem important.
However, I am enclosing them along with Mr. Johnson's state-rient, so that Oregon Exhibit M-7 is complete.
Very truly yours, b,
Richard M.

B.
All possible energy supplies will be obtained by the utility if it is deficient', regardless of cost; provided, however, that for investor-owned utilities significant increments of added energy 1810 132 APPE:! DIX A Paca 6 o f 16
ORDER NO.78-823 supplies will be procured in consultation with the Public Utility Commissioner.
Appropriate rate adjusbments, or surcharges, may be implemented subject to regulatory approval to maintain,the financial position of each utility, and to reflect in retail rates the cost of power purchased under this section.
Each utility will insure that instances of non-compliance of Stage.1 of mandatory curtailment brought to its attention are dealt with in accordance with this rule.
Non-compliance will. result in discontinuation of electric service until the customer agrees in writing to maintain its premises or place of business in compliance with this rule.
Prior to discontinuation of service, the utility will notify the customer in writing of his right to appeal.
VI STAGE 2 OF MANDATORY CURTAILMENT When the appropriate authority implements Stage 2 of =ancatory curtailment, the utility will take the following actions:
A.
All customers will be directed to curtail electric 1810 133 APPENDIX A c
ORDER NO.78-823 energy consumption by the percentage declared necessary by the authority to bring anticipated resources and loads into balance.
B.
The utility will request operation of all avail-able state, federal and private generating units with capacity in excess c'.' owner's current need, regardless of cost, for delivery of such excess power to the utility for use by defi -ient utilities.
Each utility will monitor compliance by its customers.
Non-compliance will result in excess power cost sur-charges, disconnection of utility service or other appropriate sanction, subject to review by each state's authority.
Subject to adjustments set forth in Section IX and X, below, monitoring of mandatory curtailment shall be a comparison of current energy usage with applicable base period usage.
All major use customers will be monitored individually.
Each utility will monitor non-major use customers by an appropriate sampling of such customers.
If the utility determines a customer has not-1810 I34 APPENDIX A e
ORDER NO.78-823 complied with Stage 2 of mandatory curtailment and that an excess power surcharge or service discontinuance is appro-priate, the utility shall ~ notify the customer in writing of the proposed disconnection or surcharge and the facts sur-rounding it, inform him of his right-to appeal to the Public Utility Commissioner, secure a written statement of whether or not an appeal is desired and, if an appeal is desired, forward such to' the Public Utility Commissioner.
When appropriate, the Public Utility Commissioner.will stay surcharges or disconnection pending appeal.
An excess power surcharge will be imposed for non-compliance as follows:
Excess usage expressed as a percentage of base period Excess power surcharge usace less recuired curtailment oer Excess kwh 0-10%
$0.04 11-25%
0.045 26-50%
0.05 51-100%
0.055

Restriction of operation, and energy consumed, by industrial end governmental operations; D.
Specified large' industrial customers will be ordered to curtail usage by a fixed percentage necessary to balance loads and resources; E.
Specified large industrial cugtomer will be ordered to cease operation; F.
Other appropriate emergency action.
In 1810 136 APPENDIX A Page 10 of 16
ORDER NO.78-823 recommending actions under this section, emphasis should be placed on minimizing unemployment and other economic and social dislocations.
Measures such as voltage reductions and rotating blackouts will be used only if all other attempts to curtail system load have failed.
If, as a last resort, measures such as volt-age reductions or rotating blackouts are imposed, the following provisions apply to the extent feasible:
(1) service interruptions or voltage reductions will be imposed equally to the extent necessary to achieve the required reduction of energy con-sumption; (2) public notice will be given before such measures are imposed; and (3) critical loads will not be affected.
VIII-APPEALS PROCEDURE Appeals will be handled in accordance with
~
existing rules of the PUC, and Oregon statutes.
Discontinuance of service ~under the provisions of this plan will be administered in accordance with OAR 860-21-065.
1810 137 APPENDIX A Fac e 11 o f 16
ORDER NO.78-823 IX - EXEMPTIONS A.
Requests for exemptions vill be made to the util-ity.
Appeals f rom the utility's. decision may be made to the Public Utility Commissioner.
Exemp-tions will be based on the following criteria:
1.
Curtailment would result in unreasonable exposure to health or safety hazards; 2.
Curtailment would result in extreme economic hardship relative to the amount of energy saved, such as, (a) p, rod uc tion, processing, warehousing or transportation facilities when producing or handling food crops or products which are perishable; and 3.
Curtailment would be counterproductive for effi-cient energy use or energy production, such as, (a) manufacture of products directly related to the region's energy supply.
B.
Critical Load Exemptions - Certain customers, set out below, because of the critical nature of their operations, will be exempt from Stages 1 and 2 of mandatory curtailment once the customer 1810 138 APPENDIX A Pace 12 of 16
e ORDER NO.78-823 demonstrates to the utility that all non-essential electrical energy use has been curtailed.
(1) Hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities; 2.
Police and fire stations; 3.
Essential communication facilities; 4.
Sewage-treatment and pollution control facilities; 5.
Municipal and public utility water treatment and pumping installations; 6.
Airports; and 7.
Energy supply facilities:
(a) refineries (b) oil and gas pipeline and supply facilities
~
(c) coal handling facilities X - ADJUSTMENTS Requests for adjustments will be made to the utility.
Appeals from the utility's decision may be made to the Public Utility Commissioner.
A.
The base period usage of major use customers may 1810 139 APPENDIX A Page 13 of 16 i
ORDER NO.78-823 be adjusted to take into account increases or decreases in normal load since the base period.
Customers becoming major use customers in the period after the base period by. reason of increased usage shall have base period usage determined by the utility on the basis of projected usage before curtailment.
B.
Base period usage of customers othe-than major use customers may be modified where additional energy requirements have occurred and where such addit,ional energy use cannot be avoided during the curtailment period.
A customer desiring such modification shall notify the utility with a description or reason therefor.
C.
Customer-owned generating facilities may be used for each customer's energy requirements during periods of mandatory curtailment, provided that, the energy provided by the utility to such cus-tomer is reduced by not less than the percentage curtailment prescribed in Section VII.
D.
A customer mcy schedule energy curtailment in any period and in any manner to minimize economic 1810 l40 APPENDIX A c
14
- 16
ORDER NO.78-823 costs, hardships or inconvenience, provided that the required energy curtailment, if determined on other than a daily basis, shall be assured within each period -- such period to be not longer than one regular billing period.
However,.if the util-ity can shift energy saved in the current period into a future period within the projected short-age period, then ahe cust6mer may schedule such future period's curtailment in the current period.
E.
Major Use Customers, who would otherwi-se be sub-ject to curtailment at'more than one location in the state, may schedule curtailment among multiple locations in the state in any manner which assures the recuired curtailment level will be achieved.
However, no such scheduling 'among lucations may go into effect until the user provides to the authorities involved, in writing: an outline of the proposed curtailment schedule, a statement of the manner in which the total curtailment level
-ill be calculated and assured, and a description cf the effect of the schedule en employees and cu s tom er s.

1810 142 APPE:: DIX A Page 16 of 16
, Governor Atiyeh of the Stato of Orcqcn petitioned me on Decc.c.ber 22, 1979; fcr a deterrination under Section 110 (f) of the Clean Air Act that a regional energy er.ergency oxists in Oregon of such severity that a temporary suspension of the federally promulgated now source construction and, permitting prohibition under Section 110 and Part D of the Clean Air Act and appropriate provinionn of Oregon's State Implementation Plan is necessary to help alleviate potentially high levele of une..ploymont caused by possible certailments of electricity cupply to the region.
After considering the information and vi:.en provided to me by Governor 7.tiyeh, the secretary of the Departcent of Energy, and the Administrator of EPA, I am hero-by making the requested deternination, subject to the condition listed bolev:
(1) This determination applios only to the Harbort.on facility discussed in the Governor's petition, (2) This determination expires on February 7,
1980.
I will rescind t,his dotermination bcforc that date if the potential energy shortage is substantially cased in the intcrim.
s.5 ) Orogen' a Department of Environmental Quality will monitor the air quality impact of operating the Harbarton facility and will require the termination of its oneration if air quality levcla approach the primary an.bient air quality standards.
In no case would this declaration permit excesses of the health related primary ambient cir quality standards.
(4) The Governor calls for a statewide c1cetricity conservation effort.
The State will submit to CPA and DOC biwcchly reports on electricity consumption IcVels in the State, including the effects of its electricity conservation program.
This determination is made in full rocognition of Oregon's excellent record in the arca of encrgy conser-vation.
'5) The operation of the Harborton facility will not result in a reduction in the electric oncrgy output of c:.her fossil fuc1 fired generating facilitien in the State of Oregon.
(6) PGE will mako muimum practicable ef fort to purchasc
. available elec'.rio,r>ower from other rctional utilities.
