The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the overall environmental
benefit of siting renewable energy projects on contaminated properties. Through
the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative. EPA is encouraging the reuse of formerly
contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites for renewable energy development
when such development is aligned with the community's vision for the site.
Using publicly available information, RE-Powering maintains a list of completed
renewable energy installations on contaminated sites and landfills (referred to as
RE on CL).To date, the RE-Powering Initiative has identified 311 renewable energy
installations on 289 contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites,1 with a cumulative
installed capacity of 1,561 megawatts (MW) and consistent growth in total
installations since the inception of the RE-Powering Initiative. Approximately 72% of
these installations are large-scale systems with a project capacity of 1 MW or more,
either exporting energy onto the utility grid, offsetting onsite energy demands,
or powering cleanup. This document provides summary statistics of known
installations and discusses emerging trends.
This document provides summary statistics and analyses regarding the types
of projects (e.g., system sizes, renewable energy technologies, energy uses, etc.)
that have been completed on contaminated properties to date. In addition, this
document also includes a project tracking matrix that lists basic information that
is publicly reported about each known, completed installation. Besides the completed sites listed in this document, EPA is also
actively tracking more than 90 renewable energy projects that are in various stages of planning, approval, or construction on
contaminated or disturbed properties. These include a community solar project on a 13-acre landfill in Laurens, NY; a second
2.7-MW solar project to add capacity to an existing installation at the Troy, NY landfill; and a 180-MW solar project on a former
open-pit coal mine in Lewis County, WA. EPA is also aware of approximately 95 other potential renewable energy projects on
contaminated sites, primarily landfill projects that have been suggested at town council or public meetings.

RE-Powering America's Land Initiative: January2019
Tracking Completed Projects on Contaminated Lands, Landfills, and Mine Sites
National Deployment
RE-Powering has identified installations of renewable energy on contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites in 40 U.S. states
and territories. The locations of these installations reflect evolving trends generally linked to available renewable energy
resource as well as incentives or policies such as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPSs), tax exemptions, net metering laws, and
others. Policy data in this section are primarily from the Database for State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE), a
comprehensive database managed by the North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center and originally funded by the U.S.
Department of Energy. DSIRE compiles renewable energy and energy efficiency incentives and policies enacted by the federal
government, state governments, U.S. territories, local governments, and large utilities. The DSIRE website allows users to
search policies by state and provides quarterly summary maps. The policy chart now features a "RE-Powering Policy"column.
This column identifies states that have enacted policies that specifically support or incentivize renewable energy projects on
contaminated lands and brownfields. One example is Massachusetts'Solar Renewable Energy Certificates program, which
assigns higher credits to solar projects sited on brownfields and landfills. Additional states are considering implementing such
policies; for example, the Nevada State Environmental Commission voted recently to add "renewable energy development and
storage" to the list of acceptable post-production uses for shuttered mining operations. The change is pending final adoption
by the Nevada Legislative Commission.

2 Table includes states with multiple installations plus the state with the largest single installation. Policy information from DSIRE (wwwdsireusa.org). Accessed November 28,2018.
3 A renewable portfolio standard (RPS) reguires utilities to use or procure a certain percentage of total generation from renewable sources.
4 A solar set-aside reguires a certain percentage of the state's electricity be generated from solar resources. Some states call them "sola rcarve-outs."
5 A solar multiplier gives additional credit for solar projects that contribute toward meeting RPS reguirements.
6 A distributed generation reguirement obliges a utility to procure a certain percentage of electricity from renewable, customer-sited sources.
7 Colorado's RPS includes a 1.5x multiplier for "community-based "projects—i.e., projects not greater than 30 megawatts and owned by individual residents of a community or by an organization or cooperative that is controlled by
individual residents, or by a local government entity or tribal council. The multiplier is not specific to solar.
8 Texas has already achieved its 2025 RPS goal.The state also had a voluntary non-wind generation goal that expired in 2015 and has been exceeded.
9 Texas has a non-wind multiplier policy that includes solar but is not specific to solar.The non-wind multiplier is active through 2019, when the state's REC trading program is set to expire.
10 Wisconsin's RPS reguired 10% of all electric energy consumed in the state to come from renewable energy sources by 2015. The Public Service Commission's most recent RPS report confirms all utilities were in compliance for 2016.
11 Minnesota's solar carve-out is divided by utility. The overall carve-out is 1.5% for solar for public utilities by the end of 2020,10% of which must come from solar PV systems with capacity if 20 kW or more. Xcel Energy, however, is
reguired to have at least 25% of retail electricity sales generated by wind energy or solar energy systems by 2020, with solar limited to no more than 1% of this additional reguirement.
12 Indiana's Clean Energy Portfolio Standard sets a voluntary goal of 10% clean energy by 2025 for each utility, based on the amount of electricity supplied by the utility in 2010.
13 Virginia has a voluntary renewable portfolio goal that provides an enhanced rate of return for renewable generation from approved projects.
14 Virginia's renewable portfolio goal includes a 200% credit for energy derived from sunlight, onshore wind, and animal waste.
15 Maine's renewable portfolio standard reguired that, by 2017,30% of Maine load be satisfied by existing renewable electricity generation and 10% of Maine load be satisfied by new renewable resources. Compliance data for 2017
are not yet available.
16 Maine's renewable portfolio standard included a multiplier for community-based renewable energy projects.
17 Oregon's RPS includes a goal that, by 2025, at least 8% of the state's electrical load comes from small-scale, community renewable energy installations with capacities of 20 MW or less. The RPS also includes a multiplier for PV
systems with a capacity of 500 kW to 5 MW installed prior to January 1,2016.
18 New Mexico had a 3x multiplier for solar projects developed and operational before January 1,2012, by a distribution cooperative or through the wholesale contract obligation of the wholesale supplier.
19 Oklahoma's RPS is a goal, not a reguirement. The goal called for 15% of the state's total installed generation capacity to be derived from renewable sources by 2015. In its 2016 report, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission
calculated the 2015 total capacity of electricity from renewable energy at 26%.
20 For purposes of this report, RoUS (Rest of US) indicates 12 other states or territories with renewable energy on contaminated lands; Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, U.S. Virgin Islands,and Utah.

RE-Powering America's Land Initiative: January2019
Tracking Completed Projects on Contaminated Lands, Landfills, and Mine Sites
New EPA Training Available
RE-Powering has released a new training
module that educates stakeholders about
the various land use considerations for
pursuing renewable energy projects on
contaminated lands, landfills, and mine
sites. Topics include: site control and
ownership; liability concerns; site clean-up
status and timeline, and environmental
permitting requirements. The new land use
considerations can be found on the
EPA website.
Solar Installations on Rooftops at Contaminated Sites
At onetime, references to "solar energy" often conjured images of a few panels
on a rooftop—in the earliest days of the technology, these panels tended
to be bulky solar thermal units. Today, "solar energy"can still bring to mind
rooftop installations—but now with sleek, barely noticeable panels—as well as
acres-wide fields comprising potentially thousands of ground-mounted units
feeding power to the grid. While most of the RE on CL installations highlighted
in the RE-Powering Tracking Matrix fall into the latter category of ground-
mounted projects, communities are also finding value in placing solar panels
on buildings built on repurposed sites. Some such projects include:
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory - A 0.56-MW rooftop solar project on a
federally owned Superfund site in Pasadena, CA
Tech City - A 0.05-MW solar installation on a former computer mainframe
development and testing site and EPA-designated Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) site in Ulster, NY
Belmar Mixed-Use Development - 1.7 MW of solar installed on parking
structures on an EPA-designated Brownfield in Lakewood, CO
FedEx Ground Distribution Hub - A 2.4-MW solar project spanning 3.3.
rooftop acres on a building sited on an EPA-designated Brownfield and
former chemical plant in Woodbridge, NJ
Salt Lake City Landfill - A landfill site in Utah that includes a 1-MW solar
array, a portion of which is rooftop
Campbell's Soup Facility - 2.6 MWof solar on the rooftop of a building
located on state-designated brownfield in Camden, NJ
In particular, this publication includes the addition of 13 rooftop solar
installations on buildings sited on contaminated land in the state of New Jersey.
Most of the sites are either state-desianated brownfields or deed notice areas.
Brownfields are defined by NJ state law (N.J.S.A. 58:10B-23.d) as, "any former or
current commercial or industrial site that is currently vacant or underutilized
and on which there has been, or there is suspected to have been, a discharge
ofa contaminant." In New Jersey, brownfield sitesare often regulated under
the authority of the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection and managed under the Licensed Site Remediation Professional
Program. A Deed Notice is a notice to inform prospective property owners that
contamination exists at a site in levels that could restrict certain uses or access
to all or part of the property through institutional controls, engineering controls,
or other similar restrictive covenants. Deed Notices require concurrence from the property owner and outline the location and
concentration of all contaminants as well as requirements for controlling, maintaining, or monitoring them.
Rooftop projects on contaminated property in New Jersey include two separate projects totaling 4.8 MW atop the Jersey Gardens
Mall, built on the site of the former Elizabeth Landfill, and a 1.65-MW installation at the Schering Corporation's pharmaceutical
manufacturing facility, which is also an EPA-designated RCRA site.

RE on CL Offers a Range of Economic Benefits
RE on CL projects provide a number of benefits to their surrounding communities, from making
productive use of degraded land to offering economic benefits to municipalities. Such economic
benefits include lease payments, taxes or Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT), jobs, and lower energy
costs. Some examples include:
Northampton Landfill Solar - A 3.2-MW, 15-acre solar project on the city landfill in Northampton,
MA, will provide enough energy to meet about 40% of the city's needs. The city is expected to gain
about $9 million over 20 years in cost savings and income. The system will produce enough clean
electricity to power more than 600 Northampton households and help the city meet the goals of
its Sustainable Northampton Plan.
Northport Industrial Center - The Northport Industrial Center in Elizabeth, NJ, features a 1.25-MW rooftop solar system that is
expected to save the building's corporate tenants at least $50,000 per year on their electricity bills. The solar project will also avoid
more than 12,630 tons of carbon dioxide over a 25-year period, the equivalent of planting 122 acres of pine trees.
Annapolis Renewable Energy Park-The 16.8-MW solar project at the Annapolis Renewable Energy Parkin Annapolis, MD is
sited on 80 acres of a former municipal landfill, will use a net-metering system to provide electricity to Anne Arundel County,
the city of Annapolis, and the Anne Arundel County Board of Education. The city of Annapolis is expected to earn $4 million in
revenue over the 20-year lease.
Lyndonville, VT Repurposes a Tool Manufacturing Site as a Solar Facility
After sitting idle for 25 years, the former Northeast Tool manufacturing site in Lyndonville, VT,
is now home to two solar fields representing total generation capacity of 1 MW. The facility
produced router bits, drills, and other tools from 1968 to 1993. The manufacturing activities led
to chromium, polychlorinated biphenyl, total petroleum hydrocarbons, and other petroleum
contamination in soil and concrete at the site. The property was remediated between 1991 and
2004, with the manufacturing facility being demolished in 2003. In 2017, a Vermont Department
of Environmental Conservation assessment confirmed there were no longer contaminant
concerns at the site.
Solar project developer VWSD purchased the site under Vermont's Brownfields Reuse and Environmental Liability Limitation
Program, or BRELLA.The policy provides liability relief for parties who purchase a contaminated property and allows
redevelopment to proceed without threat of legal or financial responsibility for contamination. Enrollment in BRELLA is also
required in order for developers to be eligible for the state's revolving loan funds for corrective action.
The electricity from the Lyndonville solar projects will feed into the main electric grid and be allocated to state utilities. Over the
25-year life of the net metering contract, utility Lyndonville Electric Company is expected to realize $150.000-$200.000 in cost
benefits from the generated electricity.
New York Policies Encourage RE on CL
The state of New York is finding ways to help encourage the development of renewable energy
on brownfield and landfill sites. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
(NYSERDA) recently revamped its NY-Sun incentive program, which is credited with supporting
more than 652 MW of solar projects to date.
NY-Sun helps support New York's Reforming the Energy Vision strategy, which includes objectives
to reduce energy burdens for low-income households and preserve the state's agricultural land.
As such, the updated NY-Sun program includes a higher incentive for solar projects sited on
brownfields and landfills, as well as at affordable housing locations. In addition, the state no longer
requires an additional environmental assessment to construct solar projects in zones that have
already been impacted by human presence, including landfills or brownfields.
The NY-Sun program has already supported a number of RE on CL projects, including the 0.59-MW Hoosick Farms Landfill
community solar project in Hoosick Falls; the 2.5-MW Weibel Avenue Landfill project in Saratoga Springs; and two solar projects at
a former landfill in Troy, where 0.6 MW have been completed and another 2.7 MW are in development.

RE-Powering Updates the Mapper Tool
This fall, EPA updated its RE-Powering Mapper, a web-
based geographic information tool that provides
location and renewable energy potential information for
contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites. As part of
the update, more than 130,000 sites were screened for
renewable energy potential. The site data were collected
from state and federal sources. Federal sources included
EPA's Superfund, Brownfields, RCRA Corrective Action,
and the Landfill Methane Outreach Program databases.
Data for state programs were collected from California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Minnesota Missouri, New Jersey, New York,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Numerous attributes were screened for each contaminated
land location, including renewable energy resource capacity
potential and proximity to electric transmission lines.
Within the RE-Powering Mapper, users can filter, query, and
select sites that have pre-screened favorably for solar, wind,
biornass/biofuel and geothermal energy potential.
The screened sites represent thousands of acres of land
with renewable energy development potential. The reuse of
these often under-utilized properties as renewable energy
systems may represent an opportunity for cost savings,
additional revenue, and job growth for local communities.
These projects can also help communities advance clean energy goals and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Based on resource availability, site size, and distance from existing infrastructure, the RE-Powering Mapper identified:
114,830 sites that screened
positively for renewable energy
in states that have a renewable
portfolio standard.
8,445 sites that screened positively
for small-scale utility solar or
larger in states that encourage
community solar or other shared
renewables.
3,871 landfills that screened
positively for solar.
2,261 sites that screened positively
for biofuels.

Inside the Numbers
Based on current trends, 72% of the renewable energy systems identified in the tracking matrix sell power back to the grid as
wholesale electricity, while another 25% provides energy via community solar projects or for onsite use. Systems range from utility-
scale projects, like the 5.76-MW solar field on the former Mount Tom coal plant in Holyoke, MA, to smaller projects like the 0.1-MW
solar installation on a Superfund site next to the Corvallis Airport in Oregon.
RE-Powering capitalizes on the opportunity to address contamination and support renewable energy implementation to achieve
the associated economic and environmental benefits. Installations to date demonstrate the viability of projects across all EPA and
state remediation programs, from powering industrial facilities at sites subject to RCRA corrective action to offsetting the energy
demands at federal facilities with ongoing cleanup activities to repurposing brownfield and Superfund sites.

21 Some installations can be considered multiple "site types" For example, a Superfund site on a federal facility would be counted both as a Superfund site and as a federal facility for the purposes of this table; however, sites
considered to be multiple site types are counted only once when calculating the total number of sites (311 for December 2018).
22 Includes state brownfields.
23 Includes sites subject to the National Priorities List (NPL), non-NPL sites, and sites subject to removal action under Superfund.
24 The public/private sites are the Belmar Mixed-Use Development, which includes rooftop solar on parking structures with mixed ownership; and the Highland North Wind Project in the townships of Adams and Summerhill, PA,
where the turbines are located on mixed-use land held by both public and private landowners.
25 One geothermal project, the Guthrie Green project in Tulsa, OK, uses a small solar array to power the geothermal heat pump.
26 Green remediation is the practice of considering all environmental effects of remedy implementation and incorporating options to minimize the environmental footprints of clean up actions. One such practice is using renewable
energy systems to power remediation activities or offset the energy needs associated with cleanup efforts. Projects identified as On-site Green Remediation include all known projects which currently use or have previously used
renewable energy for remediation purposes. This figure may include projects that have ceased operations since being added to the tracking matrix. Capacity includes a 4.5-MW system used to offset groundwater remediation
systems at Massachusetts Military Reservation.
27 Community solar installations are wholesale electricity in that they typically send generated electricity directly to the grid. However,for the RE-Powering Tracking Matrix, community solar installations have been reclassified from
the Wholesale Electricity category to the Community Owned/Subscription category to better represent the unique financing and ownership structure of community solar projects.
28 Rooftop installations cited in theTracking Matrix represent projects on buildings that are sited on land identified as contaminated (primarily brownfields).

Continuing Growth
With the exception of one 100-MW wind installation on landfill buffer in Oregon (Columbia Ridge), only 19 projects with a total
capacity of 143 MW were installed on contaminated sites through 2007. Of these, many were onsiteor green remediation projects,
and only four were individually larger than 1 MW. Beginning in 2008, RE-Powering has seen a marked upward trend in terms of the
number of new renewable energy projects developed on contaminated lands, the amount of installed capacity produced by these
projects, and the number connected to the wholesale electricity grid. These trends demonstrate that communities, developers,
and site owners are embracing this sustainable land development strategy.
The range in project sizes reflects market conditions and trends, available acreage, electricity demands, and other variables.
Medium- to large-scale installations (1-10 MW) make up 62% of the total number of installed projects to date, while larger systems
(10+ MW) comprise 63% of total installed capacity on contaminated lands.
Of identified projects, 91% are solar PV projects developed on contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites, representing about
58% of total installed capacity, which is a relatively new trend as tracked solar projects overtook wind projects in late 2017
to represent the majority of total capacity. While wind energy represents only 8% of RE on CL projects, a few very large wind
installations maintain wind's measurable percentage of installed capacity (about 41 %). These include the Casselman Wind Power
Project in Somerset County, PA (35 MW); Steel Winds in Bethlehem, NY (35 MW); Highland Wind (62.5 MW) and Highland North
Wind (75 MW) in Cambria County, PA; the wind farm at Columbia Ridge Landfill, OR (100 MW); and the three wind farms at the
former Dave Johnston Mine in Glenrock, WY (276 MW). Wind tends to be used more often on vast tracts of contaminated land,
such as mine sites, while solar PV is the dominant technology at smaller tracts such as municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills.
The RE-Powering strategy bolsters new markets for potentially contaminated lands, while supporting a sustainable land
development strategy for renewable energy. One continuing trend is the reuse of former landfills as large solar PV developments.
To date, EPA is aware of 186 solar projects making productive use of former landfills. Of these, at least 167 (95%) were completed
between 2012 and 2018. Many more are being planned or permitted, or are under construction. For more information regarding
considerations specific to solar projects on landfills, see RE-Powering's Best Practices for Siting Solar Photovoltaics on Municipal
Solid Waste Landfills.

Solar Project Trends29
As noted in the Continuing Growth section, the RE-Powering Initiative has seen a marked and sustained trend in solar installations
on contaminated lands. For instance, in the decade between 1997 and 2007, there were only 10 solar on contaminated land projects
installed; in 2017 alone, 50 solar projects were installed on contaminated lands. While installations vary in size and are not marked by
a particular trend, the predominant solar project size on contaminated sites is 1.01-5 MW.The chart below illustrates activity for solar
projects tracked by RE-Powering on contaminated lands from 1997 to the present.

Trends in Project Size30 31
As renewable energy installations on contaminated land have grown in total number, the range of system sizes has continued to
become more diverse. Through about 2010, very small projects of 10 kW or less were more common and usually supported green
remediation. Although the distribution of project sizes continues to vary from year to year, project size has generally trended upward
since 2011. In particular, the percentage of total projects represented by the 501 kW-1 MW and 1.01 MW-5 MW ranges has remained
relatively constant since 2014.

system at Guthrie Green (capacity unknown), and an on-site geothermal system at Dayton Tech Town.
31 There are eight installations in the 10 kW and less category for which the actual capacity is unknown. These installations are used for on-site or green remediation purposes and are assumed to be small.

32 Note that the growth curve for both the number of sites and cumulative installed capacity may differ from previous versions of the Tracking Matrix, as the RE-Powering team learns about additional renewable energy projects
installed on contaminated lands in previous years.
33 There are two installations for which the completion date or capacity is unknown. These installations are included in this chart in the years in which they were added to the Tracking Matrix, as follows; Included in 2016 is one
1.5-MW solar project installed by Honeywell Corporation as part of the Onondaga Lake cleanup project in Onondaga, NY, and included in 2017 is one wind installation of unknown capacity that supports green remediation at
Continental Steel (KokomoWind Farm).

RE-Powering America's Land Initiative:
Project Tracking Matrix
January 2019
Through the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative, the EPA encourages renewable energy development on potentially contaminated land when aligned with the community's vision for the site. This list tracks completed projects
where renewable energy systems have been installed on potentially contaminated lands, landfills, or mine sites. Project capacity data reflect total system capacity, which may be installed in whole or in part on potentially
contaminated lands, landfills, or mine sites. For systems with an installed capacity less than 10 kW, the capacity is shown as 0.00. Where information was not found for a given site, it is noted as "Unknown"or with a "-"for numerical
values. This information is sorted by state and then by site/project name. Installations newly added for January 2019 are highlighted in orange. Projects highlighted in blue represent multiple installations on a single site (location).
Projects striped in orange and blue are new for January 2019 and represent an additional installation on an existing RE on CL site.
This resource is for informational purposes only. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of renewable energy projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases,
conversations with the parties involved. It mav not be a comprehensive list of all projects completed on contaminated land. Projects on this list include ground-mounted utilitv-scale systems, rooftop systems, and systems used for
onsite power, including to power cleanup activities. To provide information on additional projects, please email cleanenergv@epa.gov.

Through the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative, the EPA encourages renewable energy development on potentially contaminated land when aligned with the community's vision for the site. This list tracks completed projects
where renewable energy systems have been installed on potentially contaminated lands, landfills, or mine sites. Project capacity data reflect total system capacity, which may be installed in whole or in part on potentially
contaminated lands, landfills, or mine sites. For systems with an installed capacity less than 10 kW, the capacity is shown as 0.00. Where information was not found for a given site, it is noted as "Unknown"or with a "-"for numerical
values. This information is sorted by state and then by site/project name. Installations newly added for January 2019 are highlighted in orange. Projects highlighted in blue represent multiple installations on a single site (location).
Projects striped in orange and blue are new for January 2019 and represent an additional installation on an existing RE on CL site.
This resource is for informational purposes only. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of renewable energy projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases,
conversations with the parties involved. It mav not be a comprehensive list of all projects completed on contaminated land. Projects on this list include ground-mounted utilitv-scale systems, rooftop systems, and systems used for
onsite power, including to power cleanup activities. To provide information on additional projects, please email cleanenergv@epa.gov.

RE-Powering America's Land Initiative:
Project Tracking Matrix
January 2019
Through the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative, the EPA encourages renewable energy development on potentially contaminated land when aligned with the community's vision for the site. This list tracks completed projects
where renewable energy systems have been installed on potentially contaminated lands, landfills, or mine sites. Project capacity data reflect total system capacity, which may be installed in whole or in part on potentially
contaminated lands, landfills, or mine sites. For systems with an installed capacity less than 10 kW, the capacity is shown as 0.00. Where information was not found for a given site, it is noted as "Unknown"or with a "-"for numerical
values. This information is sorted by state and then by site/project name. Installations newly added for January 2019 are highlighted in orange. Projects highlighted in blue represent multiple installations on a single site (location).
Projects striped in orange and blue are new for January 2019 and represent an additional installation on an existing RE on CL site.
This resource is for informational purposes only. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of renewable energy projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases,
conversations with the parties involved. It mav not be a comprehensive list of all projects completed on contaminated land. Projects on this list include ground-mounted utilitv-scale systems, rooftop systems, and systems used for
onsite power, including to power cleanup activities. To provide information on additional projects, please email cleanenergv@epa.gov.

values. This information is sorted by state and then by site/project name. Installations newly added for January 2019 are highlighted in orange. Projects highlighted in blue represent multiple installations on a single site (location).
Projects striped in orange and blue are new for January 2019 and represent an additional installation on an existing RE on CL site.
This resource is for informational purposes only. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of renewable energy projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases,
conversations with the parties involved. It mav not be a comprehensive list of all projects completed on contaminated land. Projects on this list include ground-mounted utilitv-scale systems, rooftop systems, and systems used for
onsite power, including to power cleanup activities. To provide information on additional projects, please email cleanenergv@epa.gov.

Through the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative, the EPA encourages renewable energy development on potentially contaminated land when aligned with the community's vision for the site. This list tracks completed projects
where renewable energy systems have been installed on potentially contaminated lands, landfills, or mine sites. Project capacity data reflect total system capacity, which may be installed in whole or in part on potentially
contaminated lands, landfills, or mine sites. For systems with an installed capacity less than 10 kW, the capacity is shown as 0.00. Where information was not found for a given site, it is noted as "Unknown"or with a "-"for numerical
