Approximately 450,000 polluted industrial sites called brownfields are spread across the United States, mapped in this government database. Screenshot: U.S. EPA EnviroAtlas for Brownfields.

Hundreds of thousands of polluted, abandoned industrial sites — #brownfields — dot the U.S. For reporters seeking local environmental stories, these problem spots cry out for coverage: www.sej.org/publications... #SEJournalReportersToolbox bsky.app/profile/sejo... bsky.app/profile/ejto...

“Such #brownfields are attractive locations for solar installations because of ​‘existing electrical infrastructure, lower-cost land, and community acceptance,’ noted Paul Curran, CleanCapital’s chief development officer.”

EPA Brownfields FY26 grant applications for multipurpose, assessment, and cleanup due January 28. Questions and drafts can be sent to wvutab@mail.wvu.edu. Email drafts by jan.16 for review! Mid-Atlantic TAB; Technical Assistance to Brownfield communities.

MDP partners with Mid-Atlantic TAB & U.S. EPA Region 3 through our #BrownfieldRedevelopment Assistance Program. We offer resources & information to aid in developing your grant application. Learn more:

EPA should Put Communities First, Servers Second - The National Wildlife Federation Blog Is putting AI data centers on Brownfield and Superfund properties a good idea? That should be up to the communities who will have to live with these data centers.

For underserved communities already facing burdens near #brownfields & #SuperfundSites, AI data centers can mean air/audio pollution, truck traffic, & strain on water systems.

Solar Energy Expands into Brownfield Sites and Community Development Initiatives A surge in innovative solar energy projects and financing initiatives is transforming the landscape of renewable energy production, particularly in brownfield sites across the US. Recent developments showcase a shift towards community-driven initiatives, such as the transformation of a former landfill site in Maryland into a solar power facility, which not only generates clean energy but also revitalizes underutilized land. Additionally, projects like a 20 MW microgrid initiative in New York and a containerized microgrid system in Wisconsin are highlighting emerging trends in adaptive reuse, community engagement, and energy resilience, as well as the integration of renewable energy sources with energy storage solutions.

‘Brownfields can be rich habitats’: the abandoned oil refinery where wildlife now thrives Conservationists say Canvey Wick in Essex shows potential for brownfield sites as havens for nature

'... in its ruination, this brownfield site beside the Thames in Essex has become one of the most nature-rich places in Britain, home to 3,200 species including endangered shrill carder bees, pantaloon bees, water vole, cuckoos and long-eared owls.'
