50 miles (includes residues from: crops; forests; primary and secondary mills;
urban wood waste; and methane emissions from manure management,
landfills, and domestic wastewater treatment)

This map was developed by SRA International for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) OSWER Center for Program Analysis. Results are based
on site screening criteria adapted from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) criteria and GIS data provided by NREL and EPA. This map and its
associated data are intended to provide a general understanding of the renewable energy potential of EPA tracked sites: additional site specific analysis is
required to determine the actual energy generation potential of EPA tracked sites. For further information, please see the accompanying Data Guidelines
document, or contact cleanenergy@epa.gov.
