Dear Colleague:
The nationwide push to deploy more renewable power systems is bringing into focus questions related to “where” to best install these systems. One innovative approach is to look at disturbed mining property as a host for new renewable installations. Three companies involved in such a project in Arizona will outline their plans and their experiences in this installment of our “Green Technologies: How They Work” webinar series.
Our three guest speakers will discuss both the challenges and benefits of an approach that promises to both minimize landscape impacts, as well as breathe new life into “old” lands. Join us for this hour-long session and learn how the mining world is increasingly seen as a foundational element of green technologies.
Speakers and topics include:
Mining Lands vs. Federal and Greenfield Lands: Permitting Issues and Benefits for Solar Projects
Travis Snider, Senior Professional, Kleinfelder Inc., and Director, Alliance Mining Corporation
The Solar Developer Perspective: The Advantages of Siting Projects on Mining Lands
Felicia Bellows, Vice President of Development, Tessera Solar
Mining Companies & Solar Projects: Could Be a Win-Win Scenario
Krishna Parameswaran, Director Environmental Services & Compliance Assurance, ASARCO LLC
This briefing will be conducted live via internet webinar, so you can listen from the comfort of your own office via computer and phone line.
