[CPEO-BIF] CPEO’s comments on U.S. EPA’s Draft Best Practices for Siting Solar Photovoltaics on Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Based upon its field studies, the Center for Public Environmental Oversight (CPEO) submitted comments on U.S. EPA’s Draft Best Practices for Siting Solar Photovoltaics on Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. We believe the Best Practices document would benefit from an added emphasis on community engagement, and the document should be written to help communities be on the same page as companies and agencies. Communities should not be seen as obstacles to solar power on landfills. Just as with remediation, projects are likely to end up better and have an easier time winning approval if communities are engaged from the start.
