Service Description: This layer shows location and attribute data for a national set of contaminated lands, landfills and mine sites that have pre-screened favorably for solar (PV), wind, biomass and geothermal heatpump resource potential. It includes data that covers the United States and U.S. territories. The site data comes from EPA program offices and 22 states. The data were last updated in September 2021. Detailed information about data sources, screening criteria and screening methodology can be found in the Data Documentation file found here: https://www.epa.gov/re-powering/mapper-technical-documents.

Description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Land and Emergency Management (OLEM) Office of Communications, Partnerships and Analysis (OCPA) 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. EPA developed national level site screening criteria in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal facilities. While the screening criteria demonstrate the potential to reuse contaminated land for renewable energy facilities, the criteria and data are neither designed to identify the best sites for developing renewable energy nor all-inclusive. Therefore, more detailed, site-specific analysis is necessary to identify or prioritize the best sites for developing renewable energy facilities based on the technical and economic potential. Please note that these sites were only pre-screened for renewable energy potential. The sites were not evaluated for land use constraints or current on the ground conditions. Additional research and site-specific analysis are needed to verify viability for renewable energy potential at a given site.
