Northern Utilities has finished a study for how it plans to clean up
environmental contamination from the former Portland Gas Works site at 40
Commercial St. in Portland. The former gas manufacturing plant along the Fore River operated from 1852 to
1965. A natural gas and propane distribution facility remains on a portion of
the 8.9-acre site. Northern has asked the Maine Public Utilities Commission to approve its
cleanup plan, which includes removing liquid tar from the property. The work will be overseen by the Maine Department of Environmental
Protection.
