A leaking chlorine tank created a hazardous material situation in Peoria on Wednesday.

"A worker came out and noticed one of the 150-pound chlorine tanks was leaking," said Amanda Jacinto with the Peoria Fire Department.

Jacinto said the containment plan was to place a container around the leaky tank.

The situation closed Rose Garden Lane between 107th Ave. and Lake Pleasant Road.

Residents in the area received a reverse-911 call asking them to stay indoors while crews investigate. Jacinto said the air quality has not been affected.

    HazMat Experts and Firefighters petition Dow Chemical and Union Pacific for safe rail tank cars transporting gas chlorine. Secondary containment is a necessary improvement that must be implemented. See--PETITION C KIT for First Responders Comments.
