Subject: TEST: RE-Powering America's Land Initiative: EPA Releases List of Renewable Energy Projects on Contaminated Lands

Dear RE-Powering Stakeholders,
The EPA's RE-Powering America's Land Initiative has just released the "Renewable Energy Projects on Contaminated Lands, Landfills, and Mine Sites" document on our website.
The list tracks completed projects the EPA is aware of where renewable energy systems have been installed on contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites. Projects on this list include ground-mounted utility-scale systems, rooftop systems, and systems used for on-site power. Summary statistics of the known installations provide insight on the use of renewable energy on contaminated lands.
The 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. To provide information on additional projects, please email cleanenergy@epa.gov.
Please contact a member of the EPA's RE-Powering Rapid Response Team if you have any follow-up questions or would like to learn more about the RE-Powering initiative. Comments should be submitted to cleanenergy@epa.gov.
Thank you,
Katie Brown
