State-specific information about current policies, incentives, and tools is available from "one-stop" resources dedicated to selected green remediation issues.

• Clean Energy Policy Maps compiled by the U.S. EPA provide information about planning and incentive structures, energy efficiency actions, and energy supply actions in each state and many local jurisdictions.
• The Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) provides quick access to information specific to renewable energy incentives and regulatory policies administered by federal and state agencies, utilities, and local organizations. Information is updated frequently through a partnership among the North Carolina Solar Center, Interstate Renewable Energy Council, and the U.S. Department of Energy.
• State and Regional Climate Policy Maps compiled by the U.S. EPA summarize state and regional initiatives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and provide related details regarding planning and measurement, targets and caps, reporting, the power sector, and the transportation sector. Authorities of individual states are working with commissioned utilities, local agencies, and property owners or developers to establish a host of tools and incentives for using green practices during site remediation or related sector activities.

National organizations comprising state members and supporting state needs are conducting initiatives to facilitate green remediation at the state level.

• Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO) Sustainability Subcommittee, Green Cleanups Task Force: Greener Cleanups Information Resources.
• Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC): Green and Sustainable Remediation (GSR) project proposal.

Authorities of individual states are working with commissioned utilities, local agencies, and property owners or developers to establish a host of tools and incentives for using green practices during site remediation or related sector activities.

• The California Environmental Protection Agency/Department of Toxic Substances Control's green remediation initiative promotes the use of technologies that are least disruptive to the environment, generate less waste, are recyclable, and emit fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
• The California Public Utilities Commission Self-Generation Incentive Program provides incentives for installation of renewable-energy systems, and provides rebates for systems sized up to 5 MW. Qualifying technologies include photovoltaic systems, microturbines, fuel cells, and wind turbines.
• The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's greener cleanups method helps make remediation of a site more efficient and less polluting while reducing environmental impacts of the siteā??s future use.
• The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Green Practices for Business, Site Development, and Site Cleanups: A Toolkit provides online tools to help organizations and individuals make informed decisions regarding sustainable best practices for use, development, and cleanup of sites.
• The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Remediation and Redevelopment Program manages the Wisconsin Initiative on Sustainable Cleanups (WISC), which focuses on integrating greenhouse gas reductions, energy savings, and waste recycling with the remediation and reuse of contaminated properties.
