October 2018
RE-Powering America's
Land Initiative
Through the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (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. As part of its inventory, RE-Powering
tracks benefits associated with completed sites, such as energy cost savings,
increased revenue, and job creation.
To date, the RE-Powering Initiative has identified 274 renewable energy installations
on 251 contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites, with a cumulative installed
capacity of 1,450 megawatts (MW) in a total of 40 U.S. states and territories.
Although all renewable energy installations on contaminated sites likely have some
extrinsic or intrinsic value to the developer or community, the specific benefits
realized for any one project are not always touted publicly.
By researching an array of publicly available documents (including press releases, fact sheets, and case studies), RE-Powering
has identified self-reported benefits for 222 of the total 274 renewable energy land installations that the Initiative is tracking
throughout the United States. While the RE-Powering Benefits Matrix is not a comprehensive assessment of all benefits associated
with completed renewable energy projects on contaminated lands, it represents the breadth and magnitude of benefits being
realized across the country by those developing these types of installations.
Sources used to populate this document include
other EPA resources (fact sheets, case studies, etc.)
or statements by parties directly involved with their
respective projects—e.g. the city, town, or county;
site owners; developers; utilities; federal agencies;
and/or financiers. Note that the benefits reported
may have been calculated using different methods
and/or expressed in different units; therefore, a
cumulative expression of the total benefits achieved
by renewable energy projects on contaminated
lands is not possible from publicly available sources.
In addition, the specific benefits of each project can
vary due to a number of factors, including electricity
prices, site clean-up status, incentives and policies
such as renewable portfolio standards, development
costs, availability of transmission and infrastructure,
and renewable energy technology type and
capacity. That said, the most commonly reported
benefits from renewable energy on contaminated
lands include revenues from land leases and taxes,
electricity cost savings associated with the reduced
need to purchase power from the grid, job creation,
and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

EPA Administrator Visits RE-Powering Site as Part of Superfund Task Force Anniversary
In July, Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler visited Massachusetts to mark the first anniversary of the Agency's Superfund
Task Force Report. Former Administrator Scott Pruitt formed the Superfund Task Force in 2017 to examine Superfund sites
nationwide and make recommendations regarding cleanup and remediation; reducing financial burdens for cleanup;
encouraging private investment; promoting redevelopment and revitalization; and building partnerships.The report includes
goals and strategies for achieving the Task Force recommendations. The Superfund Task Force issued an update to the 2017 report
in July 2018.
While in Massachusetts, the Acting Administrator toured the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site and met with members of EPA's
Region 1 office. He Wheeler also visited the 1.8-MW solar photovoltaic installation at Sullivan's Ledge in New Bedford—a Superfund
site that is included in the RE-Powering Tracking Matrix.
The 12-acre Sullivan's Ledge site was used as a quarry until 1932. From the 1940s until the 1970s, local businesses used the pits to
dispose of hazardous waste, including electrical capacitors, fuel oil, volatile liquids, tires, scrap rubber, demolition materials, brush
and trees. EPA designated the site as a Superfund site in 1989 and the disposal pits were capped. Former EPA Administrator Gina
McCarthy dedicated the 5,000-panel installation in 2014.

The project, which is expected to save the city of New Bedford $2.7 million over 20 years, was one of two solar Superfund sites to
receive the EPA's first Superfund Excellence in Site Re-use in 2014. In 2015, the Solar Electric Industries Association and the Solar
Electric Power Association awarded the installation a PV Project of Distinction Award at the 2015 PV America conference in Boston.
EPA Studies and Funding Help Support Landfill Solar Installations
Two communities located over a thousand miles apart—Eau
Claire, Wl, and Ulster County, NY—are enjoying the benefits
of renewable energy, thanks in part to programs under RE-
Powering. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy's
National Renewable Energy Laboratory, EPA completed a solar
feasibility study for Sky Park landfill in Eau Claire. Wl. Under its
Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative, EPA selected
Ulster County for an EPA Brownfields Demonstration Pilot. Both
locations now have operational solar installations providing
benefits to their respective local communities.
In Ulster County, NY, officials recently celebrated the opening
of a 1.9-MW solar installation on eight acres of former landfill.
The landfill was sold to the Ulster County Resource Recovery
Agency in 1993 under a contract that gave town officials the
right to buy back the property for $1.00 after 20 years. The town
relinquished its right to repurchase the property in order to
allow the landfill solar project to proceed.
Energy generated by the Ulster County landfill solar array will be sent into the grid and used to offset electricity use in county
government buildings. The solar generation is expected to offset 20% of totaI electricity needed by the county. The county holds a
20-year contract with the developer at a set market rate for the solar power.
The city of Eau Claire, Wl, recently celebrated
the powering of Sky Park Landfill Solar, a 1 -MW
solar installation on 7.5 acres of a former landfill.
The 26-acre landfill accepted municipal solid
waste from 1948 until 1965. The city-owned site
is now capped and has been sitting idle since
its closure. The city now receives lease revenue
from the solar developer and offsets 100% of
the energy use at the municipal swimming
pool using energy credits from the solar
project. The developer and contractor held a
community volunteer day to engage residents in
construction of the project.
Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler (middle) visits the Sullivan's Ledge solar
project in New Bedford, MA., with Mayor Jon Mitchell (second from left) and EPA
Region 1 Administrator Alex Dunn, (second from right).
The Sky Park solar installation is a community
solar project, the first of its kind under utility Xcel
Energy's Solar Connect Community. Customers
who subscribed to the project will receive energy
bill credits for 25 years. City officials also credit

BUILD Act Extends Brownfields Program Authorization and Extends Support for
Cleanup Activities
In March 2018, Congress passed the Brownfields Utilization, Investment, and Local Development Act, or BUILD Act. Part of
the 2018 Omnibus Bill, the Act amends the Brownfields provisions of CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act). A number of the revised provisions may benefit renewable energy projects on brownfield
sites. The Act expands eligibility for assessment and Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) grants to nonprofit organizations and limited
liability corporations. It increases remediation grant funding to $500,000 per site. It gives EPA added flexibility to award two
new types of brownfields grants, including a new multipurpose grant, which allows grantees to use up to $1,000,000 in grant
funding for brownfields site planning, assessment and cleanup activities.
The Act also requires EPA to evaluate grant applications based in part on the extent to which the grant would facilitate "the
location of a facility that generates renewable electricity from wind, solar, or geothermal energy, or any energy efficiency
improvement project at a brownfield site."This allows EPA to give weight to grant proposals to support installation of
renewable energy on brownfield site.
The BUILD Act reauthorizes Brownfields Provisions through 2023. EPA's Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization hosted a
webinaron Wednesday, June 6, to highlight provisions of the BUILD Act. A summary of the BUILD Act is available on the EPA website.
A Range of Benefits from Renewable Energy on Contaminated Lands
Renewable energy installations on contaminated land can provide a range of benefits to municipalities, developers, businesses,
and the environment. Some examples include:
Coyote Ridge Community Solar Farm (Fort Collins, CO): A 1.95-MW solar project located on nine acres of landfill buffer offers
community solar benefits to families in Fort Collins, CO. In particular, a majority of the energy output from the array will
benefit low-income households, affordable housing providers, and nonprofit organizations within Poudre Valley Rural Electric
Association's service territory .The installation is part of a statewide initiative to demonstrate how community solar can help
reduce energy costs for highest-need customers—that is, those who spend 4% of income or more on utility bills. The project
also provided over a thousand hours in solar installation job training.
Campbell's Soup Company (Camden, NJ):The world headquarters of the Campbell's Soup Company in Camden, NJ, is now
home to two solar arrays located on brownfield. The first installation is a 2.66-MW rooftop solar project sited on a building
location that is permitted as a brownfield by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The site also features
a 1.74-MW project constructed on reclaimed brownfield that Campbell's purchased specifically to expand capacity of the
rooftop system. Campbell's secured the installations under a 20-year fixed power purchase agreement (PPA) that provides a
predetermined rate for electricity generated by the system. The rate is currently lower than the cost of traditional electricity
for Campbell, thus providing immediate energy savings. The long-term PPA also and provides the company with long-term
visibility into the respective portion of its electricity costs.

Benefits Matrix
October 2018
Inside the Numbers2
RE-Powering has documented benefits for 222 renewable energy on contaminated land installations currently tracked in the
RE-Powering Tracking Matrix. Many installations publicly reported multiple benefits; as such, the RE-Powering Benefits Matrix
includes citations of 353 total reported benefits. In addition to these, many expected benefits have not been publicly reported.
Benefits are anticipated for every RE on CL project, including energy cost savings, revenue, greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, or a
combination of these. Although not comprehensive of all realized benefits, the following charts represent a snapshot of the types
of benefits RE on CL project stakeholders are touting publicly as measures of success.

5 The lower number of wind-related benefits is due in part to the way benefits for wind energy projects are cited. The majority of wind energy projects tracked under RE-Powering are large,
multiple-installation projects that tend to have benefits cited as a collective group. For example, the Dave Johnston Mine and GlenrockWind I and III listings in the Benefit Matrix represent
three co-located projects comprising a total of 276 MB, but the site owner has identified one primary benefit that applies to the total 276 MB,

Through the RE-Powering America's Land initiative, the EPA encourages renewable energy development on potentially contaminated land, landfills, and mine sites when 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 and compiles this information in
its ProiectTrackina Matrix. The followina list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported bv parties directlv involved with their respective projects (e.a.. information from the
associated city, town, or county; site owners; developers; utilities; and/or financiers) or from other EPA resources. Common benefits reported include revenues from land leases and taxes, electricity cost
savings associated with the reduced need to purchase power from the grid, job creation, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, et al. This resource is for informational purposes only. Please note that
the benefits listed here are not a comprehensive representation of all benefits associated with completed renewable energy projects on contaminated lands and such benefits are calculated in
various ways; nevertheless, this list illustrates the breadth of benefits being realized and highlighted across the country by those developing these types of installations.

Relying on an off-grid, 200-watt PV array to power a submersible
pump used for recirculation of water through the bioreactor.
During initial operations (2003-2005), the system recirculated
groundwater at a rate ranging from approximately 600 to
1,650 gallons per day (gpd), at an average of 922 gpd. Use of
the onsite solar energy also avoided significant consumption
of materials and other resources (including project funds)
otherwise needed to connect to the electricity grid.

October 2018
Through the RE-Powering America's Land initiative, the EPA encourages renewable energy development on potentially contaminated land, landfills, and mine sites when 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 and compiles this information in
its ProiectTrackina Matrix. The followina list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported bv parties directlv involved with their respective projects (e.a.. information from the
associated city, town, or county; site owners; developers; utilities; and/or financiers) or from other EPA resources. Common benefits reported include revenues from land leases and taxes, electricity cost
savings associated with the reduced need to purchase power from the grid, job creation, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, et al. This resource is for informational purposes only. Please note that
the benefits listed here are not a comprehensive representation of all benefits associated with completed renewable energy projects on contaminated lands and such benefits are calculated in
various ways; nevertheless, this list illustrates the breadth of benefits being realized and highlighted across the country by those developing these types of installations.

The city leases the land for $6,000 annually and sells the
electricity generated at the landfill sitetoTVA via the local
energy provider, Bristol Tennessee Essential Services (BTES), for
$0.21/kWh.The contract specifies a twelve-and-a-half-year term
of use with another twelve-and-a-half-year extension. After the
initial term of the agreement, the kW rate will go down to $0.01/
kWh, but the $6,000 annual lease fee will stay the same. The
city receives about 10 percent of the revenue generated from
the system and EES gets 90 percent. This system will produce
approximately 300,000 kW of solar electricity annually with
a lifetime guarantee of 30 years. The array provides enough
electricity to power about fifty homes in the area and offsets
over 6,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually.
