| 释义 |
English Station is an abandoned thermal power plant. It occupies eight acres of land on Ball Island in the Mill River, Connecticut.[1] It was constructed from 1924 to 1929. The plant operated as a coal- and oil-fired power plant for United Illuminating until it stopped electricity-generating operations in 1991. The site, which United Illuminating sold in 2000, is known to be heavily contaminated with asbestos and PCBs.[2] In 2013, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection mandated its owners clean the site of environmental pollutants.[3] References1. ^New Haven Independent - Who's to Blame for English Station? {{coord|41.3072|N|72.9069|W|type:landmark_region:US|display=title}}{{US-powerstation-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |last=Leff |first=Laurel |title=Demolition Derailed; English Station In Limbo |date=19 August 2011 |newspaper=New Haven Independent |url=http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/english_station/ |accessdate=30 July 2014}} 3. ^{{cite news |last= Chedekel |first=Lisa |title=Connecticut officials order clean-up of former English Station power plant in New Haven |date=11 April 2013 |newspaper=New Haven Register |url=http://www.nhregister.com/general-news/20130411/connecticut-officials-order-clean-up-of-former-english-station-power-plant-in-new-haven-photos |accessdate=30 July 2014}} 4 : Energy infrastructure completed in 1924|Power stations in Connecticut|Buildings and structures in New Haven, Connecticut|Fossil fuel power stations in the United States |
