EXPLANATORY NOTE TO

POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 1


On June 18, 2007, Questar Corporation (the “Company”) effected a two-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), in the form of a stock dividend (the “Stock Split”).  Pursuant to Rule 416(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-89486), filed on May 31, 2002, to reflect that, as a result of the Stock Split, the number of shares registered for issuance under the Questar Corporation Employee Investment Plan (the “Plan”) increased from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000.  Such Registration Statement is further amended to reflect that, in accordance with Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act, the number of shares registered shall include such additional shares that may be issued from time to time under the Plan as the result of any future stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
