Coal Creek Tour
Each year, Itasca-Mantrap sponsors a bus tour to Coal Creek Station-one of the world's largest and cleanest lignite coal-fired power plants and where Itasca-Mantrap buys most of its power. Its located 50 miles north of Bismarck, North Dakota, near the city of Underwood. Coal Creek Station uses about 22,000 tons of lignite per day. The highlight of this three-day trip is the tour of Coal Creek Station and Falkirk Mine - supplier of the lignite coal.
