Baldwin Energy Complex

Baldwin Energy Complex is a coal-fired power plant near Baldwin, Illinois, United States. It is adjacent to Baldwin Lake and features three coal-powered units. History Commissioned in July 1970, the station was built in the mid-1970s and soon became the United States' largest source of sulfur dioxide, and was among the top facilities in emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and mercury. Operating for around 30 years without any modern pollution controls, a judge ruled in favor of the United States Department of Justice, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and the State of Illinois in a 2005 lawsuit, finding that the facility violated the Clean Air Act, forcing the facility to reduce its emmission of hazardous chemicals. The station's owner, the Illinois Power Company, and its successor, Dynegy, were found responsible and forced to spend $500 million between that year and 2012 to upgrade the facility's pollution controls. The Chicago Tribune found that in actuality, the company spent $1 billion on pollution control upgrades at the facility. In 2020, the facility's owner, Vistra Corp., announced it would close the Baldwin facility in 2025. At the time, the company was only operating one of the facility's three coal-fired units. The decreasing price of renewable energy sources like solar power and wind power was cited as one of the reasons for the decrease in coal production and the closure announcement. However, in November 2024, Vistra announced the Baldwin facility would remain open until 2027, with President Donald Trump offering an exemption from strict pollution regulations for the facility in April 2025.

Coffeen Power Station

Coffeen Power Station was a 915 megawatt (MW) coal power plant located south of Coffeen, Illinois, near Coffeen Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area in Montgomery County, Illinois. The plant was owned by Vistra Energy. Coffeen began operations in 1965 and was shut down on November 1, 2019. History The plant had two units: Unit 1 began operation in 1965 and Unit 2 began operation in 1972. Initially, coal was delivered via conveyor belt from a nearby coal mine. Formerly, the plant had low-sulfur coal delivered from the Powder River Basin. The plant was cooled by Coffeen Lake which was built to support the power plant in mind. Formerly ran by Central Illinois Public Service Company and later Ameren, Ameren sold the plant to current owner Dynegy in 2013. In 2018, Vistra Energy would assume control of Coffeen following its merger with Dynegy. In August 2019, Vistra Energy announced they were shutting down Coffeen by the end of the year in order to meet new revisions under the Multi-Pollutant Standard Rule set by the Illinois Pollution Control Board. Environmental mitigation Coffeen replaced its treatment system in 2009 that reduced chemical discharge into the lake by 35%. The plant went through several mid-life updates with the installation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) scrubbers in 2010 and the replacement of cyclones in 2011. Hitachi's division of Hitachi Power Systems were contracted to manufacture the scrubbers. The scrubber installations were to comply with the State of Illinois' Multi-Pollutant Standards (MPS) set in 2006. See also List of power stations in Illinois References
Dallman Power Plant

The V.Y. Dallman Power Station is a coal-fired power plant located in Springfield, Illinois, at the north end of Lake Springfield. It is owned and operated by the city-owned utility City Water, Light & Power. The plant operates on pulverized coal supplied by truck from an Illinois coal mine, and takes its cooling water from Lake Springfield. Dallman consists of four units, built in 1968, 1972, 1978, and 2009. Only the most recently built unit is still operating. History Dallman is the second CWLP power plant built on the shores of Lake Springfield. The first, Lakeside Power Plant, was completed in 1936. Although largely supplanted by Dallman, Lakeside remained in partial operation to meet customer load until it was decommissioned in 2009 when Dallman Unit 4 was brought online. The Lakeside plant is now vacant. The Dallman plant was named for Vincent Y. Dallman, former owner of the Illinois State Register, whose advocacy was credited with making Springfield the first US city to sell power to its citizens rather than only using it for streetlights. Units 1 and 2 of the Dallman Plant were completed in 1968 and 1972 respectively. Later renamed Units 31 and 32, they each had nameplate capacities of 72 megawatts (MW). A scrubber was installed on these units in 2001. Both units were retired in 2020 under an Integrated Resource Plan. Unit 3 (later renamed Unit 33) was completed in 1978, and had a nameplate capacity of 192 MW, more than doubling the amount of power the plant could generate. In 1980 a scrubber was placed on the Unit 3 smokestack to remove sulfur dioxide, a concern because of the plant's use of Illinois coal, which is high in sulfur. Unit 3 was permanently retired in 2021 after suffering storm damage (it had previously been scheduled for retirement in 2023). Unit 4 was completed in 2009 at a cost of $515 million. The smokestack is 440 feet high. The unit's construction was made possible in part by a 2006 agreement between the City of Springfield and the Sierra Club that included closing the remaining Lakeside Power Plant units and investing in renewable energy. It was the first such agreement in the US to implement the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol. Inputs Historically, the Dallman plant burned coal from the Viper Mine in nearby Elkhart. In 2024, the Viper Mine became inactive and other mines supplied coal to Dallman. The Dallman plant was formerly served by a railroad spur line, but today all coal is supplied by truck. The plant receives "once-through" cooling water from Lake Springfield. Outputs As of 2021, the plant has a generating capacity of 207 MW. Although CWLP also operates three peaker plants, Dallman was responsible for 99.9% of CWLP's power generation in 2022. Coal ash from Dallman is placed in a coal ash pond near the plant in the Sugar Creek valley downstream of Lake Springfield. The Dallman pond, built in 1976 and expanded in the 1980s, is next to a pond that holds ash from the Lakeside plant. A 2022 report by Environmental Integrity Project and Earthjustice found that the Dallman ash pond was responsible for highly elevated levels of arsenic and boron in nearby groundwater. References
Newton Power Station

Newton Power Station is a coal-fired power station located in the U.S. state of Illinois. The facility forms part of the state's coal-based electricity generation infrastructure and has been referenced in discussions on environmental regulation, emissions control, and the planned retirement of coal power plants in the Midwestern United States. Background Newton Power Station was developed as part of Illinois’s expansion of coal-fired electricity generation, reflecting the historical reliance on coal for baseload power across the Midwest. Coal-fired facilities such as Newton have traditionally played a role in regional grid stability and local employment, while also attracting scrutiny due to their environmental and public health impacts. Environmental and regulatory context Coal-fired power stations are regulated in the United States due to emissions of mercury, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and fine particulate matter. In 2025, Newton Power Station was among several Illinois coal plants reported to have received exemptions connected to changes in federal environmental enforcement affecting a Biden-era rule aimed at limiting mercury and other toxic air pollutants. Environmental monitoring organisations have also documented Newton Power Station as part of broader efforts to track coal-fired power infrastructure, including operational status and environmental impact indicators. Planned closure Local media reports indicate that Newton Power Station is scheduled for a planned shutdown in 2027. The proposed closure has been discussed in relation to regional energy transition strategies, environmental compliance requirements, and the economic effects on nearby communities.

Powerton Generating Station

Powerton Generating Station is a coal-fired power plant located near Pekin, Tazewell County, Illinois, United States. Owned by NRG Energy, it is one of the largest generating facilities in the state. The plant's two units began commercial operation in the early 1970s and have a combined net generating capacity of approximately 1,786 megawatts (MW), supplying power to the regional PJM Interconnection grid. Since beginning operations in the 1970s, Powerton has been a significant electricity provider for the region but has also been the focus of environmental regulation and legal challenges due to its emissions. In February 2024, NRG Energy announced plans to retire the plant by the end of 2028 to comply with federal wastewater regulations. History The Powerton Generating Station was developed in the early 1970s amid growing electricity demand in Illinois. Unit 5, the first of two identical units, began commercial operation in September 1972. Unit 6 followed in December 1975. The plant was originally built and operated by Commonwealth Edison (ComEd). Following the deregulation of the Illinois electricity market in the late 1990s, ComEd sold its fossil-fuel generating fleet. The Powerton station, along with several other plants, was acquired by Midwest Generation, which operated them for over a decade. In 2014, NRG Energy acquired Midwest Generation, becoming the plant's current owner. In February 2024, NRG Energy announced in a securities filing that the plant is expected to retire by December 31, 2028, to comply with federal wastewater regulations known as Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG).

Monadnock Building

Il Monadnock Building è un grattacielo situato al numero 53 di West Jackson Boulevard, nella zona sud di Chicago, Illinois. In parte è stato progettato dallo studio Burnham & Root, e fu eretto nel 1891 con il record imbattuto di più alto edificio con telaio in ferro e struttura portante in mattoni. Le sue scale interne detengono un altro primato: si tratta infatti del primo impiego strutturale in architettura dell'alluminio leggero. Caratteristiche L'edificio è diviso in uffici le cui superfici variano da 23 metri quadrati a 560 per ciascuna unità, e serve essenzialmente studi professionali indipendenti. L'edificio è stato ristrutturato nel 1938 in uno dei più importanti lavori di ristrutturazione di grattacieli intrapreso. È stato venduto nel 1979; i nuovi proprietari lo riportarono al suo stato originale. È stato rimesso in vendita nel 2007. Storia Commissionato negli anni della depressione del 1873 - '79, rappresentò una delle più imponenti dimostrazioni dell'uso del mattone come elemento di costruzione, ma anche il declino stesso di questa tecnica, resa quasi del tutto obsoleta dall'avvento delle robuste ed elastiche strutture in acciaio e cemento. I primi progetti del palazzo mostrano una struttura molto alta e massiccia, ancora priva dei decori che oggi si possono ammirare. All'epoca, gli ingegneri sostenevano che un edificio in muratura alto più di dieci piani sarebbe crollato ai venti. Dato che l'elevata struttura di sedici piani (che gli avrebbe garantito per anni il record di edificio più alto del mondo) sarebbe stata continuamente sollecitata dai forti venti di Chicago, fu sviluppato un pesante e spesso sistema di mura portanti che arrivavano a misurare circa novanta centimetri, quasi il triplo rispetto ai trenta - quaranta centimetri di un normale palazzo di quelle dimensioni. Al livello del suolo si arrivò a mura portanti dello spessore di 2,13 m - che occupavano circa il 15% dell'area del piano terra. Questa soluzione gli costò però un altro grave problema di costruzione: il palazzo sarebbe sprofondato data la sua straordinaria massa dal peso di 10'000 tonnellate. Root inventò quindi un ingegnoso sistema di fondamenta galleggianti che fu utilizzato largamente sul suolo spugnoso di Chicago. Si tratta di uno strato di cemento armato con cavi d'acciaio che creano un elevato piano di diffusione del peso. Il Monadnock Building rappresenta l'ultima grande struttura di questo tipo che sia mai stata costruita, e senza dubbio la più ingegnosa.

Monadnock Building

De Monadnock Building is een 17 verdiepingen hoog appartementengebouw in de Amerikaanse stad Chicago. Het bijzondere aan dit gebouw is dat de noordelijke helft volledig van metselwerk is gebouwd. Het gebouw bevat dus geen staalcontructie. Het gebouw is vernoemd naar de geologische term Monadnock (in het Nederlands Inselberg) die wordt gebruikt voor een alleenstaande berg die midden tussen het laagland staat. Met de hoogte van dit gebouw is het uiterste uit de normale metseltechniek gehaald. Om het geheel te kunnen dragen hebben de muren aan de onderkant een dikte van bijna twee meter. Het gebouw werd gebouwd in de periode 1889 tot 1893. Eerst werd het noordelijke deel gebouwd. Dit was zo zwaar dat het gebouw tijdens de bouw meer dan een meter in de grond wegzakte. Toen men in 1891 aan het zuidelijke deel begon besloot men om toch maar een stalen geraamte te gebruiken. hierdoor heeft het zuidelijke deel dunnere muren en grotere ramen. Op 20 november 1970 is het gebouw toegevoegd aan het National Register of Historic Places.

Illinois Terminal

The Illinois Terminal is an intermodal passenger transport center located at 45 East University Avenue in Champaign, Illinois, United States. The facility opened in January 1999 and provides Amtrak train service and various bus services to the Champaign–Urbana area. In 2021, the facility had the second-highest ridership in Illinois, behind Chicago Union Station and ahead of Uptown Station in Bloomington, with just over 103,000 passengers serviced. Facilities Owned by the Champaign–Urbana Mass Transit District, the building also houses a Subway restaurant and the offices of the Junior League, as well as a school, meeting spaces, and banquet halls. It formerly housed the Champaign office for Mike Frerichs when he represented Champaign-Urbana in the Illinois Senate. Illinois Terminal was built with funds provided by the Federal Transit Administration, Illinois Department of Transportation, the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District and the city of Champaign, and was named for the Illinois Terminal Railroad, an electric interurban line that ran from Champaign, and at one time extended as far as St. Louis. The track and platforms of the Illinois Terminal are owned by the Canadian National Railway, which acquired the Illinois Central Railroad in 1999. Previously, trains stopped at the Illinois Central Railroad Depot, built in 1925 across University Avenue from the site of the current station. The previous 1899 station still stands, further up the line a few blocks. There is a short term parking lot in front of the building with long term parking available off Water Street east of the tracks.

Miller Park (Bloomington, Illinois)

Miller Park is a public park in Bloomington, Illinois, United States. It is in the southwest part of the city, on a large block south of Wood Street and east of Morris Avenue. The park features a pavilion, an artificial lake, a zoo, softball fields, two war memorials, and a preserved steam locomotive, its tender (rail) and a caboose from the Nickel Plate Road which formerly served the area. The park also includes a mini golf course, sand volleyball courts and a playground. During the warm weather of summer an outdoor theater provides productions for local people. On July 4 the park hosts a fireworks display which is launched over the lake. Monkey Island Miller Park was also once home to what the locals called "Monkey Island" during the 1960s. In the middle of man-made Miller Park Lake, there stood a platform with the metal dome that once belonged to McLean County Courthouse, on which they had a live monkey exhibit, designed by Grover Kathoffer. Though the exhibit has long been gone, many of the local residents remember the "Monkey Island" that once was.
