Event Description
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) and Department of Energy Resources (DOER) , with support from the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust and the Environmental Business Council New England, are presenting this workshop for municipal officials, solid waste consultants and renewable energy project developers on the unique issues that arise when a solar or wind installation is proposed for the site of a closed landfill.
Presentations will address siting considerations, potential impacts on landfill caps, and economic incentives currently available to minimize installation costs. The program will showcase two case studies of renewable installation on closed municipal landfills: a 1.8 megawatt wind turbine in Hull, Massachusetts, and a 500 kilowatt solar array at the Pennsauken Landfill Renewable Energy Park in New Jersey.

Comment by Daniel Hurley on June 9, 2009 at 10:46am - We are looking seriously at this "renewable energy park" concept for our public landfill in Lane County Oregon. Please contact me if you have any tips you can offer for a public agency looking to start up renewable energy projects.
