Project snapshot
Project type A proposed Nine Mile / Uintah Basin data center

County filings describe a data-center project with related energy generation, storage, and water infrastructure near Wells Draw Road.

Proposed location About six miles southwest of Myton

The filings place it near Wells Draw / South Myton Bench in Duchesne County, not inside Nine Mile Canyon itself.

Project entities Nine Mile Data + Energence Utah

Nine Mile Data, LLC is the data-center applicant. County narrative names Energence Utah, LLC. Related filings name Wells Draw Energy LLC and reWater LLC.

Public process Appeals denied in county minutes

Approved April 27 County Commission minutes record denial of the project appeals; this does not establish completion of every later permit requirement.

Overview

Project information for residents, landowners, businesses, and local officials.

The proposed project would bring a large-scale data center to Duchesne County, with supporting power and water systems described in related county filings.

This site is structured as a public information center: project summary, location, infrastructure, schedule, source documents, and a public question area.
