Manufactured gas plants

PG&E has completed the voluntary cleanup of a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) at 14 Walker Street. The seven-month remediation work involved the removal of impacted soil beneath the footprint of the former manufactured gas plant.

 

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has certified that the appropriate remedial actions have been completed. PG&E now uses the site for storage of construction materials and will continue to monitor groundwater at the site.

 

 

The former manufactured gas plant operated from 1905 to 1931. All buildings and plant structures were later torn down, and PG&E built an underground gas regulating station on-site in the late 1950s.
