Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Center for Program Analysis (CPA)
initiated the RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative to demonstrate the enormous
potential that contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites provide for
developing renewable energy in the United States. Using publically available
information, RE-Powering maintains a list of completed renewable energy
installations on contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites. To highlight
successful renewable energy projects developed on contaminated lands, EPA is
compiling information on completed and proposed renewable energy installations
on contaminated lands from public announcements, press releases, newspaper
articles, and, in some cases, conversations with the parties involved. This
file reflects completed (currently operating) renewable energy installations on
contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites. See RE-Powering America's Land
Tracking Matrix (<a href='https://www.epa.gov/re-powering/re-powering-tracking-matrix'>https://www.epa.gov/re-powering/re-powering-tracking-matrix</a>)
