EPA and the Department of Energyâs (DOE) National Renewable Energy  
Laboratory are collaborating on a project to evaluate the feasibility  
of siting renewable energy production on the Municipal Farm Site  
owned by the City of Kansas City, Mo. The study, valued up to  
$35,000, will explore the potential for solar or biopower generation  
on the site in southeastern Kansas City, Mo.



The Round Grove Creek Landfill portion of the Municipal Farm site  
offers 14.3 acres of clear, level land located less than 500 feet  
from a public utility substation and power lines, giving it strong

The Western Portion of the site contains 19 acres of eligible  
brownfield sites and an additional 120 acres of vacant, level  
property within a quarter mile of power lines and railroad lines,  
potentially making the site suitable for biopower development.
