County Looks at Bancroft for Coal-Fired Plant in 1980 Plan
Utah Power and Light officials and engineer Milton Russon briefed Preston leaders that Bancroft near Bear River is the favored site for a coal fired steam electric plant with four 400 megawatt units by 1984. Two 65 mile rail fuel legs and wind patterns factor into the Bancroft choice. About 3 000 to 5 000 acres would be needed and 150 workers plus construction staff over three to four years.
