RE-Powering America's
Land Initiative
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 renewable energy
development on current and formerly contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites
when such development is aligned with the community's vision for the site.
Using publically available information, RE-Powering maintains a list of completed
renewable energy installations on contaminated sites and landfills. To date, the
RE-Powering Initiative has identified 179 renewable energy installations on 171
contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites1, with a cumulative installed capacity of
just over 1,124 megawatts (MW) and consistent growth in total installations since the
inception of the RE-Powering Initiative. Approximately 60% of these installations are
large-scale systems with a project capacity of 1 MW or more, either exporting energy
onto the utility grid or offsetting onsite energy demands. This document provides
summary statistics of known installations and discusses emerging trends.
In addition to the completed sites listed here, EPA is tracking more than 50 renewable
energy projects on contaminated or disturbed properties in various stages of planning, approval, or construction. These include
a 1.1-MW solar project under construction on a Meriden, CT landfill; a 2.25-MW solar project under construction on a coal ash
landfill in Beloit, Wl; and an 18.6-MW solar installation underway at the U.S. Army's Fort Detrick in Maryland. In addition, EPA is
aware of more than 40 other potential renewable energy projects on contaminated sites that have been suggested nationwide,
primarily on landfills, at town council or public meetings.

National Deployment
RE-Powering has identified installations of renewable energy on contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites in in 38 states and
territories, including three new states: Kentucky, Maine, and Utah. 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 from the Database for State Incentives for
Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE), a comprehensive database managed by the North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center and
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 bv state, provides quarterly summary maps, and provides access to the database files.

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 "solar carve-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 Texas has a non-wind multiplier policy, which includes solar, but is not specific to solar.
8 Virginia has a voluntary renewable portfolio goal that provides an enhanced rate of return for renewable generation from approved projects.
9 Oklahoma's RPS is a goal, not a reguirement.
10 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 kVV 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
11 Oregon's RPS includes a goal that, by 2025, at least 8% ofthe state's electrical load comes from small-scale, community renewable energy installations with capacities
of 20 MVV or less. The RPS also includes a multiplier fir PV systems with a capacity of 500 kWto5 MVV installed prior to January 1,2016.
12 For purposes of this report, RoUS (Rest of US) indicates other states or territories with renewable energy on contaminated lands: Florida, Georgia, Hawai'i, Indiana,

RE on CL Offers a Range of Economic Benefits
RE on CL provides a number of benefits to the communities within which the sites are built, from making productive use of defunct
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:
Palmer Metropolitan Airfield Solar (6 MW). Multiple parties benefit from this installation on a former airfield in Palmer, MA. The
town will receive real and personal property tax revenue of approximately $2 million over the 20-year project term; three public
entities-theTown of Leicester, the Town of Spencer, and Worcester State University, are together receiving all of the net metering
credits from the energy generated by the project, resulting in millions of dollars in energy savings over the 20-year term of the
energy agreements; and land owner, JenJili LLC of Wilbraham, MA will benefit from the long-term ground lease.
Dreher Pickle Plant (0.62-MW solar). This community solar project on a Colorado state brownfield is expected to provide
customers with a 6.9% payback on their solar panels in the first year, and an average annual payback of 9.5% over the solar array's
lifetime.
Stafford Hill Solar Farm (2.3-MW solar with storage). Green Mountain Power (GMP) will lease the landfill space for this
installation from the City of Rutland, VT, for $30,600 annually for 25 years, with a 25-year option, and will make tax payments to the
State of Vermont for a period of at least 25 years. GMP will also gain benefits by being able to test the impact of solar variability and
to provide ancillary services associated with the battery systems.
Warren Air Force Base (3.32-MW wind). This installation on a federally owned RCRA site in Cheyenne, WY, is expected to save the
U.S. Air Force more than $11.4 million in energy costs over the 20 years. The annual estimated energy production is approximately
$575,000, with a simple payback period of 14years.
Williamson Landfill (1.5-MW solar). This landfill solar installation in New York is expected to generate enough power for all town
facilities. The town anticipates up to $ 1.5 million in savings over the course of 25 years.

The Star of the North Shines with RE on CL
The state of Minnesota welcomed its first landfill cap-mounted solar PV installation in November 2015 with a 400-kilowatt (kW)
solar PV installation on a landfill in Hutchinson. The project is connected directly to the adjacent wastewater treatment plant and
provides about 15% of total electricity needs for the plant. In addition, the installation is intended to be a demonstration project to
help the state and utilities understand the potential for developing brownfield solar projects in Minnesota.
The Hutchinson landfill operated from the 1950s until the 1980s; the capped site has been dormant since that time. The long
time span between closure and the solar panel installation reduced concerns about differential settlement. Still, the PV system
is designed with shims to be placed under the supporting rails if the concrete bases settle too much. The installation does not
penetrate the cap or underlying waste materials, and the system is ballasted using 410 concrete piers.
Developer Ameresco engaged local companies for the installation, including tenKSolar, a solar company that supplied the hardware
and 975 solar panels, as well as Hunt Electric, the contractor that installed the panels. Zero waste was landfilled from the packaging
and shipping materials for the solar project; all materials were either recycled or composted. The project was awarded a $958,360
grant from Xcel Energy's Renewable Development Fund program, which is intended to increase deployment of renewable
energy technologies at reasonable costs. The city funded the remainder of the $1,47 million solar installation. The system payback
to Hutchinson is 18 years—fewer if energy production is higher than the guarantee—and Ameresco has warranteed system
performance until the project is cost-neutral for the city.
A Superfund Site Transformed to a Solar Powerhouse
Burlington County, NJ, is now home to a solar facility on the former Landfill and Development (L&D) landfill site, which traverses
Eastampton, Lumberton, and Mount Holly Townships. The 200-acre Superfund site—a former mining pit—was converted to an
unlined Industrial and municipal solid waste landfill that accepted debris, municipal garbage, industrial and commercial solid waste,
and treated sewage sludge. The Waste Management-owned site stopped accepting trash in 1985, leaving behind groundwater
contamination of numerous chemical substances, including acetone, arsenic, benzene, vinyl chloride, methyl chloride, and others.
EPA added L&D to the National Priorities List in 1984. Thanks to site clean-up efforts, the contamination is now considered under
control and the state of New Jersey approved the official site closure in 1995.
Today, the L&D site houses a 12.93-MW grid-connected solar PV installation comprising 41,720 solar panels over 53 acres. The solar
is expected to produce average annual generation of 16.804 megawatt-hours. The installation is part of the Solar4AII program.
which is administered by the utility Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G), and has provided 190 construction jobs to the local
economy. To expedite the project, the cement was poured into the ballast shapes on-site and then the racking system for the panels
was attached. The solar array was commissioned in February 2016 and provides enough electricity to power 2.000 average-size New
Jersey homes annually.
The city website includes a
time lapse video of the solar
installation as well as real-time
energy production tracking.
Although the Hutchinson
Landfill is not a Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) location, the solar
project aligns with efforts under
the MPCA's Closed Landfill
Program (CLP). The CLP includes
a Solar Initiative, through
which MPCA will continue to,
"evaluate solar generation at
sites where remediation systems
are in operation to develop
renewable energy where its use
is economically attractive."

Inside the Numbers
Based on current trends, just over two-thirds of the identified renewable energy systems sell power back to the grid as wholesale
electricity, while a subset provides energy for onsite use. Systems range from utility-scale systems, like the 2.7-MW solar installation
at the Coventry Landfill in Vermont, to smaller projects like the Boulder Cowdery Meadows Solar Array, a 500-kilowatt system
constructed on a Superfund site in Boulder, CO.
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.

14 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.
15 Includes sites subject to the National Priorities List (NPL), non-NPL sites, and sites subject to removal action under Superfund.
16 This is the Highland North Wind Project in the townships of Adams and Summerhill, PA. The turbines are located on mixed use land, which Everpower notes is held by both

17 Onegeothermal project, the Guthrie Green project in Tulsa, OK, uses a small solar array to power the geothermal heat pump.
18 Green remediation is the practice of considering all environmental effects of remedy implementation and incorporating options to minimize the environmental footprints
of cleanup actions. One such practice is using renewable energy systems to power remediation activities or off-set 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-MVV system used to offset groundwater
remediation systems at Massachusetts Military Reservation.

Continuing Growth
With the exception of one 100-MW wind installation on landfill buffer in Oregon (Columbia Ridge), only seven (7) projects with
a total capacity of 7.5 MW were installed on contaminated sites through 2005. Of these, most were onsite or green remediation
projects, and only two were individually larger than 1 MW. Beginning in 2006, 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. While
medium- to large-scale installations (1-10 MW) make up approximately half of the total number of installed projects to date, larger
systems (10+ MW) comprise about 75% of total installed capacity on contaminated lands.
Of identified projects, 85% are solar PV projects developed on contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites, while 56% of installed
capacity is provided by wind systems. These data are explained in part by a few very large wind projects, notably the Casselman
Wind Power Project in Somerset County, Pennsylvania (35 MW); Steel Winds in Bethlehem, New York, (35 MW); the wind farm
at Columbia Ridge Landfill, Oregon (100 MW); Highland Wind (62.5 MW) and Highland North Wind (75 MW) in Cambria County,
Pennsylvania; and the three wind farms at the former Dave Johnston Mine in Glenrock, Wyoming (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 creates 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 96 former landfills19 that have been returned to productive use as solar projects. Of these, at least 77
were completed between 2012 and 2016. Many more are currently 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.
19 This includes landfills accepting MSW, construction waste, and industrial waste, as well as landfill buffer areas.

RE-Powering America's Land Initiative:
Project Tracking Matrix
April 2016
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.
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 may 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 cleanenergvtaepa.gov.

RE-Powering America's Land Initiative:
Project Tracking Matrix
April 2016
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.
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 may 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 cleanenergvtaepa.gov.

RE-Powering America's Land Initiative:
Project Tracking Matrix
April 2016
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.
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 may 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 cleanenergvtaepa.gov.
