Screening Criteria
Wind power class of 3 or greater,
   measured at 50m above ground
Site size and distance to transmission
   lines and graded roads are not screening criteria
   because energy is generally distributed locally
     This map was developed by SRA International for the U. 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. For further information, please see the accompanying Data Guidelines document at
     http://www.epa.gov/renewab/eenergyland/or contact Gaffney.Kristeen@epa.gov or cleanenergy@epa.gov.
