ECA WEBINAR: Cleanup to Clean Energy: How to Develop a Project on Federal Land
Join ECA on Tuesday, October 31 at 2pm for an engaging discussion on DOE's Cleanup to Clean Energy Initiative "Cleanup to Clean Energy: How to Develop
a Project on Federal Land". Register to learn more from experts, Candice Robertson, Senior Policy Advisor, DOE-EM, Seth Kirshenberg, ECA Executive Director, and Peter Flynn, Bostonia Partners.
Following Secretary Granholm's announcement of the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative this summer. ECA will be hosting a webinar to explain how the
development of these projects will unfold. The Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative will increase clean energy production by leasing DOE-owned land at several of its sites for new carbon emissions-free energy project. This initiative will use 70,000 acres of land at five of DOE's sites for
potential large-scale clean energy projects, or storage projects. The five sites include:
- Hanford Site, Richland, WA
- Idaho National Laboratory, Idaho Falls, ID
- Nevada National Security Site, Nye County, NV
- Savannah River Site, Aiken,
SC
- Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, Carlsbad, NM

Check out ECA's latest report! DISPOSAL DRIVES CLEANUP: RE-ENERGIZING MOMENTUM FOR DISPOSAL SOLUTIONS FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE
This report calls on the Department of Energy to launch the initiative to develop the actual waste disposition approaches. The Department could potentially
save hundreds of billions of dollars in cleanup costs by using its available tools and implementing the report’s recommendations.
Interactive guide for communities and governments to help navigate nuclear waste cleanup The Energy Communities Alliance (ECA) recently released the Guide to Successful Environmental Cleanup, an interactive online resource that provides frequently asked questions, case studies, and recommendations regarding nuclear waste cleanup. To assist local government officials, their communities, and federal agencies in deciphering the complexities of the environmental cleanup process, ECA developed this guide to facilitate future successful cleanups.
