The Superfund Redevelopment Initiative has developed a new alternative energy pre-feasibility analysis process for Superfund sites. This process, which often involves economic analysis and GIS mapping components, serves as an initial step to determine if a Superfund property could support alternative energy projects. The presentation will highlight two sites: the Iron King Mine Humboldt Smelter site and the Apache Powder Company site in Arizona at which SRI has provided site stakeholders with pre-feasibility analyses. Key stakeholders at these sites were interested in determining if alternative energy production were viable reuses. Presenters will walk participants through the steps involved in conducting the pre-feasibility analysis, paying particular attention to how stakeholder concerns were addressed, outcomes of the analyses and important lessons learned.
