Proposed Financial Assistance to Pennsylvania for Frey Farm Landfill Wind Energy Project; Manor Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

DOE issued final DOE/EA-1737, which analyzed the potential environmental impacts of allowing Pennsylvania to use federal grants to assist PPL Renewable Energy, LLC and the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority in financing the construction and operation of the Frey Farm Landfill wind energy project. The proposal included two-turbines that would provide up to 3.2 megawatts of generating capacity to be used by the adjacent Turkey Hill Dairy.

  • EA-1737-FEA-2010.pdf
    PPL Renewable Energy, LLC and the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority propose to construct and operate a 2 turbine wind energy project at the Frey Farm Landfill (FFLF) in Manor Township in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County to provide up to 3.2 megawatts of electricity principally to the adjacent Turkey Hill Dairy. Pennsylvania proposes to provide the project a $1.5 million grant, which would come from a formula grant Pennsylvania received from DOE pursuant to the Department’s State Energy Program. This EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed construction and operation of the FFLF wind energy project and the alternative of not implementing this project.
