Title

  • Formosa Plastics Corporation Site

Description

  • The Formosa Plastics Corporation plant is located near Illiopolis, between Springfield and Decatur along I-72. On April 23, 2004, an explosion occurred at the plant followed by a fire that burned for several days. Illinois EPA, along with other agencies, have worked to test air quality during and after the fire, water quality in creeks and streams near the site and the safety of the drinking water supply. Illinois EPA will continue to have a long-term presence at the site in the form of oversight regarding site investigation and proper cleanup of contamination. The printable map referenced in the fact sheet will be included as a separate pdf attachment.
