Welcome to the Bloomington MGP Environmental Cleanup Project Website

Nicor Gas has completed environmental cleanup activities at the former manufactured gas plant (MGP) in Bloomington, Illinois. The former Bloomington MGP was located at the northeast corner of Washington Street and Gas Avenue.

The project has been conducted in cooperation with, and with oversight by, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) through its voluntary Site Remediation Program. Soil exceeding Illinois EPA standards was safely excavated, loaded into trucks and disposed of at a licensed waste disposal facility. The excavation was then backfilled with clean material and the property restored.

Nicor Gas thanks the City of Bloomington and all our neighbors for their assistance, support and cooperation throughout this project.
