Abstract
For over 10 years, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been working with communities to better understand how Superfund sites can be returned to beneficial uses and supporting Superfund site reuse nationwide. EPA also strongly supports the evaluation of sites for reuse through renewable and sustainable energy production. Through efforts such as the Superfund Redevelopment Initiative and Re-Powering Americas Lands Initiative, EPA is providing resources to encourage alternative and renewable energy generation at these sites. In 2008, the Apache Powder Superfund Site, located near Benson, Arizona, presented a unique opportunity for EPA to support the evaluation of renewable energy generation. Ground water and soil contamination from prior disposal practices was addressed by Apache Nitrogen Products, Inc. (ANP) with EPA oversight, and construction of the remedy was completed in 2008. ANP continues to manufacture chemical products on portions of the site and expressed interest in exploring opportunities for renewable energy generation on remaining areas of the site.
