[CPEO-BIF] RE-Powering America’s Land: Action Plan 2.0

RE-Powering America’s Land
Action Plan 2.0

U.S. EPA
October 31, 2014

In October 2014, the RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative released  
the final version of its Action Plan 2.0, which articulates the goals  
and objectives of the Initiative and the activities it expects to  
pursue over the next two years. This action plan articulates the  
continuation of activities that have been impactful and suggests  
areas of new emphasis.

Since its inception in 2008, RE-Powering America’s Lands has promoted  
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.  To define goals, articulate  
activities and make them transparent to its stakeholders, the  
Initiative periodically develops an action plan.  The plan  
communicates Agency efforts more specifically while retaining  
flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

The Agency released this action plan in draft form and sought public  
input during May 2014.  As a result of comments from stakeholders and  
additional conversations both internal and external to the Agency,  
EPA revised the action plan to reflect the perceived needs and  
opportunities for renewable energy on contaminated lands, landfills  
and mine sites.
