Silver Eagle, and the refinery that borrowed the name.

No. The HF Sinclair Woods Cross Refinery, a 45,000 barrel a day plant, publishes addresses at 1070 West 500 South and at 393 South 800 West, and both returned West Bountiful city from the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder on 15 August 2026. It sits about 1.1 miles north northwest of Woods Cross City Hall with the municipal line in between. The refinery that is genuinely inside Woods Cross is Silver Eagle Refining at 2355 South 1100 West, a much smaller plant, about a mile south southwest of City Hall.

The refinery inside the Woods Cross city limits, at 2355 South 1100 West. The plant was originally built in 1954, Silver Eagle Refining purchased it in January 2000, and the Silver Eagle group was acquired by The International Group in June 2011. It runs three primary units, an atmospheric crude distillation unit, a vacuum distillation unit and a Mobil Distillate De-waxing unit, and produces ultra low sulfur diesel, heavy naphtha shipped to the company's Evanston, Wyoming facility, atmospheric gas oil, tower bottoms and vacuum gas oils.

A waxy crude oil from Utah's Uinta Basin, described by the operator as having high wax content, very low sulfur content and very low acid content. It is difficult enough to handle that most refineries cannot run it, which is the interesting part of the Silver Eagle story: the small plant inside Woods Cross exists in large part to process a Utah crude that needs specialized equipment, and the de-waxing unit on site is exactly that specialization.

Two separate incidents, both investigated by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board. In January 2009 a flash fire and explosion sent four workers to hospital with burns and nearby homes were evacuated. On 4 November 2009, shortly after nine in the morning, a ten inch pipe carrying pressurized hydrogen failed catastrophically; the blast damaged homes in Woods Cross and North Salt Lake and at least one house was reported moved off its foundation. The cause finding reported when the final report issued in 2014 was severe pipeline corrosion, and that wording comes through news coverage rather than from the report text.

There is no current published figure, so this page prints only the historical one. The 2009 federal investigation described the plant as a 10,250 barrel a day refinery, which is roughly a quarter of the throughput of the larger plant a couple of miles north in West Bountiful. The company does not publish a present day capacity, so any source quoting a current barrels per day number for Silver Eagle is quoting something the operator has not stated.

The plant was purchased by Silver Eagle Refining in January 2000, and in June 2011 the Silver Eagle group was acquired by The International Group. The operator's own site is the issuing body for its ownership and its process description, both checked 15 August 2026. Operating status, ownership and what a plant runs all change, so a page relying on any of it should be re-checked at the company and at the state air quality permits annually.

Because of the rail stop and the shared postal code rather than because of the city limits. The 84087 postal code covers Woods Cross and West Bountiful together, the Woods Cross name has been attached to this stretch of the county since the railroad crossing of 1869, and the plant's mailing address carries the postal name. The Census Bureau geocoder puts both of its published addresses in West Bountiful city. This is the same pattern that puts an airport named for Bountiful inside Woods Cross and a pond addressed in one city with its parking lot in the other.

It is a regional regulatory question with a published answer rather than a street level one. The Salt Lake City fine particulate nonattainment area, which includes Davis County, was redesignated to attainment with a maintenance plan for the twenty four hour standard in late 2025, while the Northern Wasatch Front remains classified as serious nonattainment for ozone, which is a summer problem. The state issues action day guidance in both seasons, and the whole south Davis basin sits under the Wasatch Front's wintertime inversions. Re-verify both designations at the Utah Division of Air Quality, because they move.

Four things, and none of them is a description someone else has written. Measure the actual distance from the parcel to the corridor rather than estimating it from a map. Find out which way the prevailing wind runs and ask what it does in January. Drive the specific parcel at more than one hour and in more than one season. And check which city the parcel is in against the Census Bureau geocoder or the county parcel record rather than trusting the postal address, because on this corridor a block can change municipality and the tax notice, the police department and the park rules change with it.
