S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Results are based on site screening criteria adapted from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) criteria and GIS data provided by NREL, EPA and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. This map and its associated data are intended to provide a general understanding of the renewable energy potential of abandoned coal mine areas in Pennsylvania; additional site specific analysis is required to determine the actual potential of these sites. These sites are tracked and monitored by state agencies.
