While the DWP has no ownership interest in the mine, the department is part of a two-member oversight panel for the mine as the representative of the Intermountain Power Agency.

The Intermountain Power Agency is a group of Utah utilities and other power customers - including the DWP. The other panel member is Utah America Energy, co-owner and operator of the mine that collapsed.
