<abstract>Renewable energy production is expected to increase significantly in the next 25 years. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Center for Program Analysis (OCPA) has initiated the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative to demonstrate the enormous potential that contaminated land and mining sites provide for developing renewable energy in the U.S.</abstract>
<purpose>EPA developed national level site screening criteria in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and landfill to gas energy facilities. While the screening criteria demonstrates the potential of reusing contaminated land for renewable energy facilities, the criteria and the maps are not designed to identify the best sites for developing renewable energy and are not all-inclusive. There are some sites shown on the maps that may not be suitable for siting renewable energy based on further site-specific analysis; in addition, some viable sites many not be included on these maps due to the screening criteria used. More detailed site-specific analysis is therefore necessary to identify or prioritize the best sites for developing renewable energy facilities based on technical and economic potential.</purpose>

<srccontr>West Virginia AML - Used to map West Virginia AML sites. The dataset containing the West Virginia AML polygons was taken from the West Virginia GIS Technical Center web site (http://wvgis.wvu.edu/data/dataset.php?action=search&amp;ID=150) and was downloaded on July 10, 208. Coal AML features were digitized from Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation source materials by the West Virginia University (WVU) Department of Geology &amp; Geography and the WVU Natural Resource Analysis Center. This polygon dataset was published in 1996. A description of the dataset indicates that typical AML features include highwalls, portals, refuse piles, and mining structures such as tipples. Acreage values should be considered as approximate estimations for the features and may not represent actual site conditions. The dataset does not include ownership or parcel information. For additional information on West Virginia's AML Program or the dataset contact the West Virginia Office of Abandoned Mine Lands &amp; Reclamation at http://www.wvdep.org/item.cfm?ssid=12.</srccontr>

<srccontr>Pennsylvania AML - Used to map Pennsylvania Coal AML sites.  The dataset containing the Pennsylvania AML polygons was taken from the Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access Clearinghouse web site and was downloaded July 10, 2008 (http://www.pasda.psu.edu/uci/MetadataDisplay.aspx?entry=PASDA&amp;file=AMLInventorySites2008_07.xml&amp;dataset=460). This dataset portrays the approximate location of Abandoned Mine Land Problem Areas containing public health, safety, and public welfare problems created by past coal mining. The data represents the AML Inventory Sites, which are the boundary of an entire problem area and may contain multiple actual mining features. The dataset does not include ownership or parcel information. Most sites are privately owned. When needed, ownership information must be researched through other means, typically county real estate records.

<srccitea>LMOP</srccitea>
<srccontr>Includes data from LMOP, which is a voluntary assistance and partnership program that promotes the use of landfill gas as a renewable, green energy resource. LMOP screens landfills to determine if they are candidates for landfill gas energy projects or have potential for landfill gas energy projects. In addition, it tracks landfills that have operational, under construction or shutdown landfill gas energy projects (see the Attribute Table for the definition of project types). Visit EPA’s LMOP Web site at www.epa.gov/lmop/ for more information on landfill gas energy projects. This data were provided by LMOP on March 20, 2009.</srccontr>
