Operating expenses decreased $3.6 million, or 6 percent, due primarily to i) the termination of the Parachute and Everett Delta leases, resulting in lower lease expense of $3.4 million and ii) the restructuring of the Salt Lake City headquarters building lease resulting in lower building lease expense of $1.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher property taxes of $1.0 million primarily attributed to a $1.1 million reduction in 2009 for lower than anticipated mill levies.
Northwests operating revenues decreased $10.6 million, or 5 percent. This decrease is primarily attributed to i) lower Parachute Lateral lease revenues of $5.2 million resulting from the termination of the Parachute Lateral lease on August 1, 2009, ii) lower other revenues of $2.0 million resulting from the absence of sublease income attributed to the restructuring of the Salt Lake City headquarters building lease, iii) lower firm transportation commodity revenues of $2.0 million due primarily to mild weather in Northwests market area and lower off-system deliveries on the southern end of the system, and iv) lower revenues of $1.4 million resulting from the termination of the Everett Delta Lateral lease on November 9, 2009. The revenue decreases from the Parachute and Everett Delta laterals as well as the reduction in building sublease revenues is substantially offset by decreases in lease expenses as described below.
Operating expenses decreased $6.2 million, or 5 percent, due primarily to i) the termination of the Parachute and Everett Delta leases, resulting in lower lease expense of $6.4 million and ii) the restructuring of the Salt Lake City headquarters building lease resulting in lower building lease expense of $2.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher property taxes of $2.4 million primarily attributed to a $2.6 million reduction in 2009 for lower than anticipated mill levies.
Northwest anticipates 2010 capital expenditures will be between $120 million and $140 million which includes $60 million to $80 million for maintenance capital and $95 million to $115 million considered nondiscretionary due to legal, regulatory and/or contractual requirements. Northwests property, plant and equipment additions were $30.2 million ($21.7 million for maintenance and $8.5 million for expansion) and $47.8 million ($18.4 million for maintenance and $29.4 million for expansion) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
