Hazardous Petroleum Coke Plant in West Bountiful

DC3: Davis County Community Coalition

 
 

Consolidated Energy  Co. has received preliminary approval to construct a power plant that burns petroleum coke and residual fuel oil next
to the Holly Oil refinery in Woods Cross


This power plant will effect your family's health, especially that of your children

Petroleum coke is the dirtiest fossil fuel available, much dirtier
than coal.  It is the waste left over from refining oil.  Compared  to coal,
combustion of petroleum coke emits higher concentrations of all the major
components of air pollution.   Every year this plant will release about one
million pounds of pollution, including highly toxic chemicals and heavy
metals that are especially dangerous to young children and the unborn.
These toxic compounds (even in extremely small quantities) are known to cause cancer, genetic damage and brain damage.

The Davis County Community Coalition and The Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment are concerned for the public health consequences of building this plant.  Inform your family and neighbors and voice your opinion.


Citizens can make a difference.  If you want your family's health
protected, and if you think this plant should not be built in your community, now is your chance to get involved.
