Exploring Renewable Energy on Brownfields and Landfills: RE-Powering America’s Land’s Electronic Decision Tree Tool Brownfields Learning Lounge September 3, 2015

Why Renewables on Potentially Contaminated Lands 2 Gain community support Leverage existing infrastructure Improve project economics through reduced land costs & tax incentives Protect open space Build sustainable land development strategy Provide low-cost, clean power to communities Reduce project cycle times with streamlined zoning and permitting

Assisting Stakeholders Throughout Cleanup and Development 3 RE-Powering Mapper Decision Trees Feasibility Studies Opportunities Barriers Strategies Come to a discussion on 11:30am in Astoria Room

Moving from Printed Version to a User Friendly Electronic Version

Downloadable Application 5

6 Electronic Decision Tree -Considers potentially contaminated sites, landfills, underutilized sites and rooftops -Explores solar (ground mount and/or rooftop) or wind (ground mount) -Walks users through a series of Yes / No / Skip Questions -Supplements questions with additional information, tips and links to relevant resources -Generates reports of the screening results and user annotations that can be printed or imported into other documents -Data Entry Report -Summary Site Screening Report -Site Comparison Report

7 Electronic Decision Tree: Site Types and Technologies

8 Electronic Decision Tree: Phases of Tool -Home -Site Characteristics and Redevelopment -Redevelopment Considerations -Contamination and Landfill Issues -Load Assessment and Financial -Summary and Results

9 Electronic Decision Tree: Example Question

10 Electronic Decision Tree: Selection from Companion Guide

Electronic Decision Tree: Contamination Issues 11 Assessed? -Formal assessment? -Adverse historical uses? -Visual clues? Remediated? -Complete / Unnecessary? -In Progress / Stalled? -Impacting usable acreage?

Electronic Decision Tree: Landfill Issues Closure status Institutional controls Settling Compatibility with –piping / collection systems –leachate and landfill gas system Erosion control, Stormwater Management 12

13 Electronic Decision Tree: Load Assessment and Financial Phase

14 Electronic Decision Tree: Project Arrangements
