This map V.QS developed by SRA International for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency fEPA)
OSWER Center for Program Analysis. Results are based on site screening criteria adapted from
National Renev&ble Energy Laboratory (NREL) criteria. GIS data provided by NREL and EPA and policy
data provided by the Database of State Incentives for Renev&bles & Efficiency (DSIRE). This map and
its associated data are intended to provide a general understanding of the renevjable energy potential of
EPA tracked sites: additional site-specific technical and economic analysis is required to
determine the actual energy generation potential of these sites. For further information, please see
