Utah’s fight with a Bay Area city over coal exports was resolved last month with a federal judge’s signature on a settlement that halts coal shipments through Richmond, Calif. by the end of 2026.
The deal allows Wolverine Fuels, Utah’s main coal producer, nearly four additional years of using the Levin-Richmond Terminal as its main conduit to the Japanese utilities it supplies. Meanwhile, its options for exporting Utah coal through West Coast ports appear to be narrowing.
