RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX

APRIL 2022

Across the United States, communities are generating revenue, realizing
energy cost savings, and creating jobs when redeveloping formerly
contaminated sites with renewable energy projects.1 Community goals such
as meeting a local clean energy goal, cleaning up a former brownfield, or
protecting greenspace may stimulate action on a project.

If you are considering developing a renewable energy project in your
community, the information presented here can be used to educate
stakeholders on the benefits of redeveloping formerly contaminated sites.

EPA's RE-Powerina America's Land Initiative fRE-Powerina Initiative) presents
the latest benefits findings from publicly available information from fact
sheets, case studies and other resources on 419 projects across the country.

In this Report

Summary findings show nearly 44% of projects reporting energy cost savings.

The list of projects details community benefits for hundreds of projects.
Examples of sites across the country exhibit benefits in a variety of
technology types—wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal.

If you are considering developing a renewable energy project in your
community, the list may help you locate an example project in your
community or a nearby community. Further, you can cross-reference
the site benefit information with additional information in the

Inside the Numbers

RE-Powering has documented benefits for 41 renewable energy projects 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 704 total reported benefits. In
addition to these, many expected benefits have not been publicly reported.
Benefits are anticipated for every renewable energy project on contaminated land,
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 stakeholders are
touting publicly as measures of success.

Many of these contaminated lands redeveloped with renewable energy were no
longer revenue generators for the community or their owners. Renewable energy
provides a unique opportunity for a return to revenue. For RE-Powering sites,
revenue can typically be broken into three categories tax or payment in lieu of
taxes (PILOT), lease or renewable energy credits (RECs).

The "other" category in all charts includes: secondary economic benefits to
the community resulting from jobs created (e.g., more customers for the local
diner); secondary use of renewable energy installation as tools for learning
and data gathering; and the ability to use renewable energy installations for
distributed generation.

RE-Powering Projects Benefit Underserved Communities

EPA's RE-Powering America's Land Initiative encourages 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. The Initiative identifies the renewable energy potential of thousands
of sites included in the RE-Powering mapper tool. And provides other
useful resources such as the Tracking Matrix. Best Practices and trainings for
communities, developers, industry, state and local governments or anyone
interested in reusing these sites for renewable energy development.

Communities near contaminated sites are typically overburdened and
underserved, creating environmental justice concerns. "Approximately
60 percent of the sites to receive funding for new cleanup projects are in
historically underserved communities." (source: EPA news release on Superfund
investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, 12.17.21). For example,
more than 1 in 4 Black and Hispanic Americans live within three miles of a
Superfund site, a higher share than the overall population, and thousands of
these contaminated sites exist nationally. EPA is investing $1 billion to initiate
cleanup and clear the backlog of 49 previously unfunded Superfund sites and
advance progress at dozens of other sites.

Renewable energy development offers many advantages to communities
interested in finding a beneficial reuse for contaminated sites. The benefits from
placing renewable energy on contaminated lands are numerous and range from
revenue generated to environmental protection benefits.

The RE-Powering Initiative seeks to encourage renewable energy development
on these underutilized lands in communities with environmental justice
concerns.This can be achieved by providing data, tools, best practices, case
studies, examples of benefits and outreach resources to encourage renewable
energy development on contaminated lands, landfills and mining sites
(collectively "RE-Powering sites").

Below are a few of examples of RE-Powering sites reporting benefits that assist
the overburdened and underserved in their communities.

Oxon Run, Washington, DC

The Oxon Run community solar installation is the largest clean energy project
in the District focused on serving neighborhood residents.The 2.65 MW solar
installation covers approximately 3.6 acres of an underutilized brownfields site
with solar panels. About 750 eligible low- to moderate-income households
will receive up to $500 a year to help reduce electricity bills by half. The project
had local subcontractor hiring requirements and preference points. The system
reduces air pollution and asthma by reducing electricity from fossil fuels.

The environmental benefits include approximately 30,000 metric tons of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions avoided. This is equivalent to removing more
than 6,300 cars from the road for a year, or to planting 777,000 tree seedlings
grown for 10 years. Site redevelopment also included beautification of the area
through the restoration of native pollinator plantings and planting pollinator
meadows, native plant and shrub landscaping throughout.The solar installation
went online in 2020.

The 6140 Route 209 Community solar project is located on a former sand
mine and became operational in 2019. Subscribers in the community solar
program benefit from the clean energy produced and save 10-15% on their
regular electric costs. This site is also part of the New York State Energy
Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Solar for All program, with 1
MW of the project reserved specifically for income-eligible NY residents who
apply through NYSERDA. Income-eligible New Yorkers can save up to $180
annually through the Solar for All program. The 5.6 MW installation reduces
10,044,000 pounds (lbs) of carbon dioxide (C02) annually.

Norwood Community Solar in Norwood, Colorado

The rural electric cooperative San Miguel Power Association partnered with
GRID Alternatives to develop this 0.2-MW community solar array that will
reduce energy costs for 30-40 income-qualified households. Subscriptions
of up to 2 kW of generation per household are free of charge to qualified
applicants and allow access for five years, after which residents may reapply.

Coyote Ridge Solar in Fort Collins, Colorado

Located on nine acres of landfill buffer in Fort Collins, CO, this 1.96-MW
community solar partnership was planned and developed by electric
cooperative Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association and GRID Alternatives.
The subscriber model includes 70% of output earmarked for nonprofit and
low-income customers. The project also provided more than 1,000 hours of
hands-on solar job training during construction.

Community Solar Model Aides in Addressing
Environmental Justice Concerns

Many of the RE-Powering sites that are serving the overburdened and
underserved communities use a community solar model.This model is well
suited to assist communities and individuals with both reducing power costs
and providing renewable energy options where they would otherwise not exist.

The U.S. Department of Energy defines community solar as any solar project or
purchasing program, within a geographic area, in which the benefits of a solar
project flow to multiple customers such as individuals, businesses, nonprofits
and other groups. In most cases, customers are benefitting from energy
generated by solar panels at an off-site array.

Community solar allows everyone to
benefit from solar energy, even if they
cannot install solar panels on their
property. Community solar customers
subscribe or lease a portion of the
solar panels in the array, and they
typically receive an electric bill credit
for electricity generated by their share
of the community solar system— like
someone who has rooftop panels
installed on their home. Programs
may also have options for selling or
donating subscriptions.

Community solar can make a positive impact in low- and moderate-income
(LMI) areas. Community solar can overcome financing, contract flexibility,
project size and siting challenges that largely shut out LMI homes, apartments
and small businesses from the solar market, while offering added local
economic development benefits if the community solar project itself is located
in LMI areas.

The RE-Powerina Initiative provides data, tools, best practices, case studies
and outreach resources to encourage renewable energy development on
RE-Powering sites. RE-Powering sites are uniquely suited for siting community
solar because they are frequently located in or near LMI areas, often do not
have other reuse options due to contamination or restrictions on the property
and are located near transmission lines and population centers. RE-Powering
sites represent a large and varied collection of sites that include former
Superfund sites, brownfields, landfills, and mine sites, as well as other formerly
contaminated sites under various federal and state cleanup.

Mine Scarred Lands Incentives, Initiatives and Projects

As many states and communities are moving toward more sustainable energy
options and even net-zero energy production, mine-scarred lands are becoming
attractive options for siting renewable energy. Often a skilled technical
workforce is located nearby, infrastructure is in place and the mine lands have
been graded and could be suitable for solar panels and wind turbines with little
additional surface disturbance needed. Looking to the future, the RE-Powering
Initiative hopes these mine lands become a major part of the benefits matrix.
Currently, EPA's RE-Powering Initiative is tracking several renewable energy
projects on former coal mine lands in the Appalachian Basin that are in various
stages of development.

Several groups and states are working to create incentives and initiatives that
take advantage of the unique conditions surrounding mine-scarred lands.
For example, through its Mining the Sun Initiative. The Nature Conservancy is
working with partners to make it easier to put renewable energy facilities on
already developed sites across Nevada, rather than on healthy, undeveloped
lands that are important for clean water, open space and wildlife. In Nevada,
closed mining lands offer the biggest opportunity for this use.

Even in the Appalachian Coal Basin, where coal has been a dominate energy
source for decades, renewable energy is seeing support. With its mountainous
terrain and extensive coal mining legacy, there are few places that may seem
less hospitable for renewable energy than West Virginia. However, West
Virginia's long coal mining history has created optimal conditions for solar
development—several hundred square miles of previously cleared mine lands
waiting for redevelopment. Many of these abandoned mine lands have existing
infrastructure, including roads and transmission lines, and are in proximity to
major markets for energy.

West Virginia leaders, businesses and communities are beginning to explore
this opportunity. For example. West Virginia Senate Bill 583 has preferential
utility cost recovery to encourage development of up to 400 MW of solar on
former mining sites, closed landfills, brownfields, hazardous waste sites and
certain other preferred sites.

Virginia is also working to install renewable energy on abandoned coal mine
lands. The Nature Conservancy and Dominion Energy Virginia are collaborating
to develop utility-scale solar projects on former surface mines in the coalfields
of Southwest Virginia. One such project is the Highlands Solar project, which
will repurpose roughly 1,200 acres of the former Red Onion surface mine
and surrounding properties in Wise and Dickenson Counties. The project will
generate approximately 50 MW of solar energy, enough to power 12,500 homes
at peak output. Additional benefits to the area include an increase in local
tax revenues, the ability to provide additional funding through Solar Siting
Agreements and the creation of clean energy jobs. This project will support
the goals of the Virginia Clean Economy Act, which requires Dominion Energy
Virginia and American Electric Power to retire electric generating units located
in the Commonwealth that emit carbon as a by-product of combusting fuel to
generate electricity by 2045 and 2050, respectively.

In Kentucky, the old Martiki coal mine is slated to become the Martin County
Solar Project, a 200 MW solar farm on 1,200 acres. The project is projected to
produce enough energy to power the equivalent of more than 33,000 Kentucky
homes and create 11 fulltime Kentucky Jobs. Construction is expected to begin
in 2022, and the solar project should be commercially operational by early 2024.

As more mine lands are mined out or closed due to a declining market,
the RE-Powering Initiative looks to help identify both policy to support the
development of these lands and identify the lands themselves that might be
suitable for renewable energy development.

RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX

APRIL 2022

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 Project Tracking Matrix. The following list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported by parties directly involved with their respective projects (e.g., 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.

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 Project Tracking Matrix. The following list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported by parties directly involved with their respective projects (e.g., 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.

RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX

APRIL 2022

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 Project Tracking Matrix. The following list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported by parties directly involved with their respective projects (e.g., 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.

APRIL 2022

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 Project Tracking Matrix. The following list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported by parties directly involved with their respective projects (e.g., 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.

*With the exception of sites shaded in gray, benefits for these sites were only available from news article sources.

computers and ovens, thus moving GrandyOats toward their
goal of being a net-zero carbon emissions facility.The solar
array generates more than 95,000 kWh of clean energy per year.
Powering the facility with clean energy instead of fossil fuels
eliminates the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated by
driving an average passenger vehicle for 160,000 miles.

RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX

APRIL 2022

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 Project Tracking Matrix. The following list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported by parties directly involved with their respective projects (e.g., 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.

Residential and commercial electric customers, including the City
of East Lansing and the Capital Area Transportation Authority,
signed a 25-year lease and paid $399 per panel to receive an
annual credit of around $26 per panel on their electric utility
bill for the solar power produced. In turn, they'll get a credit
on their electric bill for the energy produced by those panels.
Each lessee will receive a proportional percentage of utility bill
credit that is equal to the amount of energy their lease produces.
By using renewable resources to produce electricity, the solar
park becomes eligible for RECs.'This solar park will make the
Lansing area more sustainable and represents another step in
East Lansing's Climate Sustainability Plan to transition to cleaner,
more renewable energy options. Best of all, the city - and many
who surround it economically since subscribers, including the
city government, will save money on their utility bills,"says Pivot
Energy's CEO, Rick Hunter. The community solar project cost
$600,000 and the solar panels are capable of producing enough
electricity each year to power about 60 homes.

generates as payment for the loan. Renewvia Energy owns and
operates the North port solar project and sells power using
PPAs with the building's tenants.The solar system is expected
to generate more than 1,500 MWh of electricity annually and
IDI's tenants, ShipcoTransport and Exel, Inc. expect to save
at least $50,000 per year on their electricity bills. Because of
Renewvia's unique structure, both of IDI's tenants benefit from
the one net-metered system, and do so without the long-term
commitments typical of PPA-backed projects.The system's annual
carbon dioxide offset, a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide
or greenhouse gases, is expected to total 247 tons and over a

RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX

APRIL 2022

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 Project Tracking Matrix. The following list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported by parties directly involved with their respective projects (e.g., 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.

*With the exception of sites shaded in gray, benefits for these sites were only available from news article sources.

batteries.The solar panels are expected to provide enough
electricity to power about 100 homes annually and also charge
the batteries, which will be used to lessen voltage fluctuations
that are inherent to grid connected solar systems due primarily
to issues like intermittent cloud cover. The learnings from the
Highland Park Solar Storage System will ultimately enable better
integration of renewable energy onto the electric grid, which
will allow for even more solar energy projects in New Jersey and
better grid reliability.

RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX

APRIL 2022

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 Project Tracking Matrix. The following list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported by parties directly involved with their respective projects (e.g., 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.
