Through its RE-Powering America’s Land: Siting Renewable Energy on

Potentially Contaminated Land and Mine Sites initiative, The U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting applications from

states, tribes, regional governments, and communities that want to

evaluate the potential development of renewable energy on potentially or

formerly contaminated properties. This evaluation will be in the form of

a feasibility study conducted by the Department of Energy National

Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) that will determine the best

renewable energy technology for the site, the optimal location for

placement of the renewable energy technology, potential energy

generating capacity, the return on the investment, and the economic

feasibility of the renewable energy projects.  The purpose of the

technical assistance is to reuse sites, improve communities, create

jobs, develop partnerships, decrease the use of greenspace for siting

renewable energy, and increase the amount of renewable energy generated.

Proposals are due to EPA Friday May 20 and may be submitted to

matthews.lura@epa.gov.  More information on the RE-Powering initiative

and the request for applications can be found at

Please share with others who may be interested.
