The Amalga Town Council held a workshop on July 22, 2026, to discuss the development of a future fuel station and a proposed penalty and enforcement ordinance, according to a August 6 statement.
During the workshop, Charlie Erickson presented plans for a new fuel station designed to resemble an old school barn to fit the local community. The project includes a convenience store, a kitchen, and potentially an upstairs area with four offices, though the second level's viability depends on a geotechnical report. The facility may include a laundry and shower area, though the council expressed that they are not currently in favor of those specific amenities.
Regarding site logistics, the plan includes five supply tanks with a total limit of 125,000 gallons. The developer indicated that the convenience store would operate from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. and that security cameras would be installed to document property activity. The project's timeline for completion is estimated for March or April, weather permitting, following UDOT road projects expected in October.
The council also discussed a proposed penalty and enforcement ordinance. Under the proposed terms, a $100 fine would be issued for the first five days of noncompliance, increasing to an additional $150 if the issue remains uncorrected after 10 days. If the violation persists for 30 days, a $700 penalty would apply, with a suggested continuing penalty of $100 per day thereafter. The council agreed to place this proposal on the agenda for the next meeting for formal presentation, noting that any ordinance changes require a public hearing and public comment.
The workshop was held at 6590 N 2400 W, Amalga, UT 84335.
