CHAMPAIGN – A neighborhood-rights campaign continues to put pressure on AmerenIP to clean up a contaminated former manufactured-gas plant site at Fifth and Hill streets, contending the site poses a greater health risk than is being presented to the public.
Meanwhile, AmerenIP officials say that a nearly completed site-investigation report, already presented to the state in draft form, shows that contamination of soil and groundwater has spread off-site to the north, east and west, with off-site groundwater contamination to the south.
