Clinton Coal Gas Site, Iowa

Site Overview

Site Location

Former manufactured gas plant (FMGP) in Clinton, Iowa

Site Description

Manufactured gas was produced on the FMGP site in Clinton, Iowa, from 1869 until 1952. Later, steel beams for bridges were manufactured on the eastern portion of the site and electric power was generated from coal on the western portion. Currently, the Interstate Power Company (IPW) owns the western part of the site and uses it for a district office, service center, and substation. The former steel manufacturing site is owned by a development company, Riverview Partners. The FMGP location is a Superfund site. IPW and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have entered into an Administrative Order of Consent for Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA). A citizens advisory group (CAG) has been formed and meets regularly to discuss community concerns surrounding this site.
