In 1990 this pulverized-coal plant ran test operations, the Ohio Edison Tires-To-Energy Project, to determine the feasibility of scrap tire and tire-derived fuel. While the tests were successful in proving that old tires were a viable fuel source, the power plant was closed shortly thereafter in 1993 - presumably because of the newer efficient power plant which was built slightly upriver. Located in the very small town of Toronto, OH the mammoth brick facility is a multi-leveled maze interconnected by innumerable stairways, ladders, coal conveyor belts, and freight elevators. Speckled throughout the building are numerous workshops, locker rooms, offices and laboratories while a myriad of gauges, knobs, and switches decorate control panels. Iridescent silver paint reflects light in the huge main bay which is mostly devoid of major machinery. A towering smoke stack with flashing strobes, a water tower, a dock, and miscellaneous outbuildings can all be found on the building grounds.  Media Coverage  Future Plans Not really sure, the town it is in is way to poor to be able to get this thing cleared of the amounts of asbestos they have used. In 2007, several offenders were caught rowing across the Ohio River stealing copper out of the facility. Police drive-bys are now common.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Ohio Edison Mon, Feb 27th, 2006 posted by southsideshutterbug 10 pictures Powerplant 01 Mon, Feb 27th, 2006 posted by Atrocity 5 pictures Powerplant 02 Mon, Feb 27th, 2006 posted by Atrocity 3 pictures never got in Mon, Nov 15th, 2010 posted by secretdestroyers 5 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links Abandoned coverage: http://www.abandon...ndex.php?catid=295  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
