- Rawhide is ranked as one of the cleanest power plants in the nation. Every other day a 60-car train delivers low-sulfur coal from the Power River Basin coal fields in north central Wyoming. A rotary car dumper unloads each coal car without uncoupling it from the train in approximately two minutes. Two active coal dust emissions. Cooling water is provided by the closed-system, five billion gallon Hamilton reservoir. Rawhide is equipped with state-of-the-art scrubbers as part of its air quality control measures. The plants operates below all state and federal emission standards.
