Santaquin, UT · Utah County · 39.976°N 111.785°W
Straight-line distances. Nearest named waterway via the USGS National Hydrography Dataset; nearest transmission line via HIFLD. Baseline water stress and groundwater trend describe the surrounding hydrological basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, CC BY 4.0) — not this facility’s measured water use. Principal-aquifer system underlying the location (USGS, mapped at 1:2,500,000 — regional context, not site hydrogeology).
Off-grid by design. KSL reports it 'will not be connected to the city's electric grid, it will use a series of smaller engines to power itself using natural gas'. Gardner's planned-projects table gives 100 MW nameplate with a 2027 operational year and lists the status as under construction.
KSL reports the developers told the city to expect 'low water and sewer usage', attributed to Mayor Olson. A developer claim relayed by the city, not a measured or permitted figure.
Contested locally. KSL reports over 1,350 petition signatures opposing the facility, residents objecting to its proximity to homes and the Sunroc gravel pit, air-quality fears ('With Santaquin and just Utah in general already having such high pollution, we find that this is not a good placement'), and complaints about a lack of transparency during approval. The city projects 'more than $3 million annually in sales tax revenue'.
No recorded status history yet.
Confirmed: data verified against official filings, permits, or direct operator announcements.
