“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.”

2013 年 11 月 1 日,#洪水橋 深港西部通道下的草坪上,吃著草的羊群。

香港政府在多年前,已有把洪水橋闢作新發展區的規劃,頻繁的跨境物流,亦使區內的棕地作業非常活躍,對環境造成了不可逆轉的破壞。這些羊群,估計現時已不復見;而上面行車天橋的視角,亦將會迎來劇變。

@baskin do not leave out pfas - funding just got slashed #brownfields

The areas impacted by the #LAFires are gigantic toxic #environmental #brownfields.

That soil is contaminated w/ lead, PCBs, cancerous dioxins now.
Staying will impact survivors’ health until the areas are remediated.
Expect the City/Cty to designate them toxic areas.
I wouldn’t rebuild til the toxins are removed. In fact, the City may prohibit rebuilding til environmental cleanup is complete.

Falls Planning Board to weigh zoning change to spur #LoveCanal #SolarFarm

"The #NiagaraFalls Planning Board is expected to decide in September whether to recommend a zoning change that would allow the site of the worst #EnvironmentalDisaster involving #ChemicalWastes in U.S. history to be transformed into a large-scale, eco-friendly, #solar #RenewableEnergy project.

"Just three residents from the Love Canal neighborhood appeared at a board hearing Wednesday night on a request by city officials and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (#NYSERDA) to change the zoning of 16 acres of city-owned land, south of Colvin Boulevard, north of the LaSalle Expressway and between 93rd and 95th streets from R1-A (Single Family Residential) to OS (Open Space). The change would allow for the land that was once #HookerChemicalCompany’s Love Canal landfill to be reclaimed and developed into the Vincent Welch Build-Ready Solar project.

"That land was also once the location of the Griffin Housing Development [YIKES!] as well as the Love Canal."
