Explosions were used to demolish stacks at former Homer City Generating Station Saturday morning.Just after 7:30 a.m. the four stacks were toppled, leaving one stack half standing and sending plumes of smoke into the air.Around 20 minutes after the demolition of the stacks, the cooling stations were also demolished. Homer City Redevelopment (HCR) released the below statement following the successful demolition:“This morning, Homer City Redevelopment successfully completed the felling of the four stacks and three cooling towers that comprised the Homer City Generating Station, formerly the largest coal-burning power plant in Pennsylvania. While this ends one chapter, we are eager to start another and pave the way for a reimagined energy future at the Homer City site.” Built in the 1960s, the station sits on 2,400 acres of land about three miles west of Homer City Borough.Center Township government leaders say Homer City Development Corporation owns the land where the facility sits, and has established a 3,000-foot buffer zone to keep the viewing public at a safe distance.Residents who live within a two-mile radius of the demolition are being advised to expect any possible outcome, and are also instructed to file claims with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection."I would say, there could be a possibility," said Matthew Householder, Center Township Supervisor. "They're monitoring the buildings inside that (radius) and the residents that are close by -- any damage, like windows blown, dust or debris coming on their property. "Additionally, Homer City Borough leaders are monitoring an above-ground water tank that services more than 300 customers near the plant."We are concerned about the water," Borough Manager Rob Nymick said. "We service the power plant area, as well as Coral-Graceton. We will have the entire staff on site. Once we get the all clear, we will test the water."Authorities say once the site is cleared, it will pave the way for the world's largest natural gas power plant.
