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...

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.

'Economic opportunity': Brownfields grant seeks greener pastures in northeast OKC The City of OKC received an EPA grant to help assess brownfields sites in northeast OKC and make contaminated land more commercially viable.

Plots of land contaminated by previous industrial activity are known as #brownfields.

Some of the most notable places in #OKC were formerly brownfields, and the City of OKC recently received an EPA grant to assess several sites in #NorteastOKC.

‘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.'

Brownfields aren’t just liabilities—they’re opportunities for rural revitalization. With the right plan (and funding), communities can turn pollution into parks, solar sites, and small business hubs. 🌾
