Hosted by USEPA
Ozone Advance is a voluntary program that encourages ozone attainment areas nationwide to take near-term, proactive steps to improve air quality and ensure continued health protection over the long term. Actions undertaken as part of the program could result in air quality improvements that provide a buffer against future violations of the standard. Ozone Advance will encourage the use of local strategies to reduce ground-level ozone and will emphasize coordination with stakeholders. Additional information about the program may be found on their website by clicking here.
Laura Bunte from EPA's Office of Program Planning and Standards will provide an overview of the final Ozone Advance program guidance. This will include a discussion of changes EPA made to the draft program based on stakeholder input, and a question and answer session.

Economic (Re)Development and Solar Webinar
Tuesday, April 24 from Noon - 1:00 p.m., CST
Hosted by the International City/County Management Association
Looking for something to do with that former landfill? Interested in renewable energy? Communities across the country have brownfields, capped landfills, and other pieces of vacant and underutilized land, which have the potential to be successfully redeveloped with solar. By focusing energy development on these sites, they can help to take pressure for new energy development off undeveloped land while providing site developers with access to existing infrastructure.
The US EPA's RE-Powering America's Land Program encourages renewable energy development, including solar, on current and formerly contaminated mine sites when energy development on these sites is aligned with the community's vision. RE- Powering America's Land identifies the renewable energy potential of these sites and provides other resources to local governments and other stakeholders interested in reusing these sites for renewable energy development. The webinar will also explore case study examples of projects that have been developed on reused land.
Learning Objectives:
* The benefits of pursuing solar projects on contaminated sites and vacant land * Important considerations when pursuing projects on contaminated sites and vacant land * Tools that exist to help evaluate potential projects Click here to register for the webinar. |
