Show i Wayne Power Project Still on Drawing Boards I Intermountain Power Project Pro-ject (IPP) Directors have reaffirmed their intent to continue with the planning and environmental studies for a 3000 MW coal fueled power generating project, it was announced today by Joseph C. Fackrell, President of the Board of Directors. At a meeting on April 29, 1976, Fackrell said a Resolution was adopted by the IPP Board which sums up the benefits of the Utah Project. "IPP was conceived and developed by Utah consumer owned electric utilities, and as much as 750 MW of power may remain in Utah to serve consumers. The Project will benefit Utah in the areas of taxes, equipment purchases and jobs," the Resolution stated. Further, IPP is planning plan-ning an economically and environmentally sound project, pro-ject, and IPP has selected a site such that prevailing winds would generally direct the emissions away from the scenic and recreational areas. Also, water resources will have a minimal effect on Utah's unallocated portion of Colorado River water."
