Abstract:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Center for Program Analysis (OCPA) is encouraging the reuse of contaminated lands for siting clean and renewable energy facilities. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's Annual Energy Outlook 2008, by 2030 U.S. electricity production will need to increase by nearly 30 percent to meet growing demand.  Currently, wind, solar and biomass supply 2.3% of our nation's electricity.  While these renewable sources currently make up only a small fraction of energy production, renewable energy production is expected to increase by more than 70% between 2006 and 2030.  Identifying and using land located in areas with high quality renewable energy resource will be an essential component of developing more electricity from renewable energy sources.

Purpose:

EPA has developed data showing opportunities to site renewable energy on contaminated lands and mining sites in each state. This data is designed as a resource for: developers, environmental managers, land managers, private industry, communities, local, state, and federal energy officials, or anyone with an interest in promoting renewable energy projects on contaminated lands and mining sites. The data provides information relevant to siting renewable energy production facilities and to incorporating smaller-scale renewable energy production as part of another type of redevelopment, such as a housing, commercial, or industrial project.

This data concerns the location of facilities and sites that are regulated by, or of interest to, the EPA in conducting its regulatory mission. The information on the facilities and sites, including the locations, has been gathered from a number of sources. While EPA subjects the data to Quality Assurance (QA) procedures, the Agency cannot vouch for the reliability of all the data. Users of the data (or any portion thereof) may wish to verify its accuracy before use.  Data were collected using methods that have unknown accuracy (EPA National Geospatial Data Policy [NGDP] Accuracy Tier 10).
