Hunter
Coal Storage and Blending Facility
The Hunter Coal Storage and Blending Facility is located adjacent to the
Hunter Power Plant, just south of Castle Dale. The blending facility was
built in 1990 to facilitate the blending of ever increasing high-ash coal
from the Trail Mountain mine. Trail Mountain closed in 2001 and coal is
currently provided from Deer Creek and three other mines.
