Rare opportunity to acquire a 97.9-acre Water Recovery Facility in the heart of Utah's Uintah Basin near Myton, Duchesne County. Originally brought online in 2008 to serve regional oil and gas producers, this infrastructure-rich property offers substantial capital improvements that would be time-consuming and costly to replicate on raw land.
The site features four engineered HDPE-lined evaporation ponds plus one lined spillover pond with a combined storage capacity of 1.2M bbls, supported by heavy-truck-rated access roads and a 12-inch HDPE piping network connecting the pond system to the vault infrastructure.
Four large in-ground reinforced concrete vault structures were constructed with dual-membrane liner systems beneath the concrete floor slabs, providing redundant containment. Three-phase power and on-site utilities are in place. Duchesne County public records reflect conditional-use permit activity and related approvals tied to a proposed Nine Mile data center project adjacent to this property.
Large-scale data center campuses require significant volumes of water for cooling operations, and this facility's existing 1.2M bbl lined storage system, established industrial infrastructure, and proximity to that development create a compelling potential water-supply and industrial-services opportunity that would be difficult to replicate from raw land on a comparable timeline.
A detailed, risk-based closure and cover framework has been developed under Utah Admin. Code, creating a clear path for either water-related reuse - including reactivation for produced-water recycling and evaporation - or strategic repurposing for industrial, infrastructure, or energy-adjacent uses, subject to buyer due diligence and applicable regulatory approvals. Property is offered strictly as-is, where-is. Contact listing broker for NDA and due diligence package.
