E.P.A. Solicits Public Comments on Action Project for RE-Powering America’s Land

WASHINGTON - The E.P.A. (EPA) is seeking public comments on the outline action project for its RE-Powering America's Land Initiative. The project guides EPA's efforts over the next 2 years to encourage 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. The cleanup of contaminated land and the production of renewable energy will provide long-term enhancements to air quality in communities, while protecting public health.

In 2010, the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative published its 1st management project to provide a useful framework to engage stakeholders on the potential to location renewable energy on contaminated lands and track progress. This 2nd action plan, Action Project 2.0, identifies activities planned for the next 2 years.

The agency will solicit comments for 30 days. Comments on the suggested Project are due by Friday, May 30.To submit a comment, please send to [email protected]
