WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
So I think we can get ready to begin today session on State and Federal data in the re-powering Mapper.

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.000
3 point a webinar, so at this time i'll ask our first speaker.

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:18.000
To be sure she's unmuted. Laura I can see you on camera, and then Rebecca, if you can go ahead and pull up the presentation materials.

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.000
I'll turn the floor over to laura to get the show started. Okay?

5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:33.000
Great. Thank you so much. Jean my name is Laura stri and I'm. a team leader for reparing America's land initiative here at Epa.

6
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Thank you so much for joining us today. I'm really excited to host this webinar highlighting the State and Federal contaminated site data and the re-powering Mapper all of the data that we'll

7
00:00:46.000 --> 00:01:00.000
talk about today is publicly available from State and Federal sources, and we really want to thank all of our State collaborators for the input that they gave us on their data.

8
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:10.000
The selected state data is really important because many of the landfills, Brownfields, and other potentially contaminated sites.

9
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:16.000
Are included in the State data, but they're not included in Federal data sets.

10
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:22.000
The Federal data includes a subset of landfill, methane outreach program sites or L.

11
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:35.000
Map sites, federal minds, sites, all appropriate super fun sites, and more so. we wanna make this webinar as informative as as possible for you today.

12
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:53.000
If you would like a more interesting meeting with your state or Federal group or other stakeholder group, please email me, and we're happy to schedule that future meeting with you today, we will be taking your questions like

13
00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:01.000
Jean said, as we go along in the Q. A. and we are really excited to have

14
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.000
Rebecca Kent and Kelsey blonde with us.

15
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:17.000
Rebecca is an environmental analyst with gdit and she's a contractor to epa she's worked on several versions of epa's re-powering america's land initiative

16
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:28.000
mapper She's also supported the initiative since its inception on various mapping data collection and technical documents.

17
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.000
Kelsey is an O rise research. fellow with epa's office of plan and emergency management.

18
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.000
She has over a decade of experience, working on various aspects in the environmental field.

19
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:54.000
She is a member of the repiring team and she's been helping us narrow the universe of sites to match unique needs and situations and help support the recent map or update.

20
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.000
She has a Bs in geology from Dennis and University and an Ms.

21
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:06.000
In geospatial data analysis and environmental policy from the University of Michigan. So welcome to Rebecca and Kelsey.

22
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:20.000
Before I turn it over to Rebecca I wanna provide a quick overview of Epa's repiring America's land an issue just in case there are folks on the line who are not familiar so the initiative encourages renewable

23
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:26.000
energy development on current and former contaminated land landfills and mind sites.

24
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:40.000
When this day development is aligned with the community's vision for the site and the re-powering initiative works with Federal and State partners to identify contaminated lands that might be suitable for

25
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:49.000
renewable energy development and provides technical assistance to communities. So you'll hear us use the term re-powering today.

26
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.000
This word in this context means citing renewable energy.

27
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.000
Resources on land with perceived our actual contamination.

28
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:11.000
You will, may also hear us use the term off. the plan in emergency management, or olim, and part of the office's mission is to encourage redevelopment of contaminated sites.

29
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:25.000
Column has other programs that focus on broad topics of redevelopment. But re-powering America's land initiative is specifically focused on renewable energy redevelopment test sites so We provide tools

30
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:36.000
for all kinds of sites. super fun bricker up round fields, mind site, landfills pretty much all all of the sites you can think of.

31
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:45.000
We help answer questions about liability. Renewable energy contaminated land.

32
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:57.000
You can see here on this graphic that there are many benefits to communities, and lots of reasons why this idea makes sense.

33
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:11.000
We can protect open space. we can provide low cost power to residents in the community. We can, provide revenue to local governments and help local governments meet clean energy and climate change goals.

34
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:26.000
So as we go through this it's really important to note that re-powering project must consider proper planning engineering, construction and operation.

35
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:34.000
It's really important that the development does not interfere with cleanup and does not increase threats to human health or the environment from sites.

36
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:52.000
So we need to take a very close look at site and the mapping tool that we're going to talk about today is one way to take a first step in identifying sites that are suitable for renewable energy so thank you

37
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:57.000
again to Rebecca for joining us today. i'm gonna turn it over to her.

38
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:09.000
For her presentation. Thanks, thank you, Laura I hope you guys are excited as I am today to talk about the mapper like Laura said, My name is Rebecca Kent, and I'm with

39
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:21.000
gdit and I've been supporting epa's repair empowering america's land initiative since about 2,008 in April of this year repound release and update over version of the mapper and that's what

40
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:27.000
we're gonna walk through today, so we're going to discuss the data, the screening criteria, assembling all this information.

41
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.000
We'll go over some of the map or upgrades and then we'll get to the best part of this presentation.

42
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:37.000
That map or demonstration. we're gonna start you guys out here with a polling question, and we'll give you a little bit of time to answer that.

43
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:41.000
So if you wouldn't mind please answer the question and then we'll.

44
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:47.000
We'll go over those results here after we get majority of you guys answering those alright.

45
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:55.000
So I can see responses are starting to come in If this is a new feature for you in Zoom. There should be a pop-up window that's appeared on your screen. just click.

46
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.000
The circle to the left of the answer that you'd like to enter and then hit the submit.

47
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:04.000
Button, and I can see that about 3 over 4 of the audience. about 75% of you have voted.

48
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.000
There's no wrong answer here. Just makes it more fun for us to know a little bit about your experience. level.

49
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:14.000
So with this I'm gonna go ahead and just give you all just a second or so more to send in your response.

50
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:19.000
Make sure you hit that submit button. And now let me close it and share those results.

51
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:32.000
So, Rebecca, it looks like almost 3 over 4 of the audience have never used the mapper before, and about 20% of them have so big chunk of this is new to the audience.

52
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.000
Yeah, that's really good. I hope that after today's presentation.

53
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.000
You guys will either go out and look at the mapper again or go out and check it for the first time.

54
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:49.000
So we appreciate you guys participating in that so we're gonna dive right into the map or discussion.

55
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.000
And the first thing we're gonna talk about is the data that was included.

56
00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:01.000
Repiring start it really with an idea that maybe contaminate lands could be put back to use in.

57
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:09.000
At the same time they could help communities meet renewable energy needs, or maybe even help repair remediation at the site.

58
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:19.000
So Epa started researching this idea, and it quickly became a parent that a lot of these sites were actually suitable for renewable energy citing on them.

59
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.000
And at that time repiring start, talking to Epa offices.

60
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:37.000
Some State agencies to help them understand the information that these groups had in their data sets, and they also worked with the national renewable energy lab or in real, to figure out how to screen the sites and what kind of information would

61
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:42.000
be most useful to developers to get about these sorts of sites.

62
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:55.000
The data currently included in the re-powering map, or includes Epa track sites, state track sites, resource data and infrastructure data, and all the data that is included in the repelling map or is

63
00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:09.000
publicly available. So for the Epa track sites, re-powering, reach out to various epa offices and groups to identify the best data sets and the sites in those data sets to include in the repowering map or

64
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.000
the offices, provided some insight into their data sets.

65
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:17.000
What kind of information they thought might be most useful to provide for developers.

66
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:22.000
And you can see here on this pie chart that repiring has most of the sites.

67
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.000
The Epa does track included in the mapper new.

68
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:38.000
To this update is the inclusion of 50 underground storage tanks, and these are all located in Montana. for right now the addition of these sites, this time is a pilot to gauge the interest in

69
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:52.000
renewable energy development app. These underground storage tanks and these sites have locations and sizes that might make them suitable for electric vehicle, recharging locations for the State data some States

70
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.000
have actually reached out and asked to be included in the repaling.

71
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:04.000
Mapper and others have been identified by repairing as candidates to include, And you can see on the map here which States we're included.

72
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:18.000
This update we have a state data from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New

73
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:25.000
York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

74
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:30.000
We got a kind of a good distribution geographically and we have some States in each of the Epa regions.

75
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:42.000
It's important to note, though, that some of these states might have additional contaminated lands like those are mind sites that Aren't included in the repaling mapper right now, for example, in West Virginia we only

76
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:47.000
have coal mine lands included in the mapper right now.

77
00:10:47.000 --> 00:11:01.000
Some of the benefits for including the State data is the inclusion of different site types from what Epa tracks and a greater number of sites that are available to communities and developers to explore for that renewable energy development

78
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:09.000
with every update of the map or re-powering does research and identify states that might be good candidates to include in that update.

79
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:19.000
So this includes identifying. Why, what kind of data these States have available, and then reaching out to the States to see if they have an interest in being included in the project.

80
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:24.000
Bepowering does then work with the States to make sure that the data included is represented correctly.

81
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:38.000
The States provide information about which data sets they manage, they think, would be good to include, and if any of the sites in the data set should be excluded for whatever reasons, and then they review the write-ups and the contact information that we

82
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:44.000
include in the data documentation for the map or just to make sure that that's okay.

83
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:55.000
It is important for repowering to have that a little bit of collaboration with the States which really helps to aid and understand in the data limitations, and actually helping spread the word about the repelling map or out to their

84
00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:02.000
constituents in the States. all the States, all the sites include it, both the Epa and the State tracks.

85
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:10.000
They have linked to either a site, specific profile, profile page, or to the group that manages the information related to the site.

86
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:15.000
So users can get more specific information about the sites if they're interested.

87
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:21.000
How many sites are included. There are a lot of sites included in the repelling map or this update.

88
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.000
We have over 190,000 sites that are screened.

89
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:35.000
The majority of these are State Provider slice at about 147,000, with 37,000 that are epa track sites.

90
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:40.000
So do you have data, or do you know of data sets that you think will be a good fit to include in the repairing mapper.

91
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:49.000
Please let us know here's some contact information this contact information is also available on the repowering website at a minimum.

92
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:55.000
The data needs to have locational information. So either latitude longitude coordinates for the site or geocodable address.

93
00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:05.000
We do like to have sites with acreage information but that isn't a requirement you'll see as we get a little further along in the presentation that the acreage. information is included in the screening

94
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:12.000
criteria. So if you have data that you would like to see included, just reach out to Laura or your regional team contact and let them know.

95
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:19.000
And we can get in touch with you about that. in addition to having information about the sites themselves.

96
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:34.000
The map, or also includes resource data, and this includes things like wind speed at various hub heights, Solar e radiance, information, biomass feed stock, and near surface ground temperatures.

97
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:40.000
There. This information helps identify sites that might be a good candidate for renewable energy based on resource availability.

98
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.000
An epa worked with N. Rel. to get the wind speeds.

99
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:57.000
The solar radiance values and the biomass data sets, and with Southern Methodist University for the geothermal resources distances to transmission lines, substations, rails, and roads are gathered and provided

100
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:07.000
in the mapper as well. This information is used in screening criteria, and it's useful for developers and understanding access to the sites.

101
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:14.000
And if transmission lines are nearby, So, after gathering the data, it all needs to be screened.

102
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:28.000
And here's the screening criteria, this screening criteria was developed in partnership with enrel and enroll has staff that has expertise with solar wind, biomass, and geothermal for the screening criteria in

103
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:35.000
real- considered size, size, went resource values and that's things like the wind, speed, the solar radiance and feedstock.

104
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:42.000
Distances to roads. and transmission lines so we can get the equipment in there to the site and interconnect to the transmission lines.

105
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:49.000
If that's what's required for the site a different scales or renewable energy were identified for solar wind.

106
00:14:49.000 --> 00:15:03.000
And this is really based on that size size. So the acreage information that comes with each of the sites and we looked at utility scale distributed, or can community scale off grid and facility scale for a solar wind We also have another

107
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:11.000
category there that unknown acreage and that's precise that we have really good information for we just don't know the site size.

108
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:19.000
So for those the developers or the community might need to do just a little bit more research to see what scale of renewable energy could be installed at that site.

109
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:24.000
So for solar. this update all sites screen positively for solar.

110
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:36.000
The the variable. there is the site size, and that will determine how much solar can be installed when resources more important for wind, we need sustained wind speeds to make that renewable energy type.

111
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:46.000
Work at the site. biomass is looking at biopower and biofuel production, and it takes into consideration feedstock within 50 miles of the site.

112
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:52.000
And then geothermal that's looking at a ground source heat pump for this update.

113
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:59.000
And this is really for supply and heating and cooling to building, so the site needs to either have an existing building or it needs to have buildings nearby.

114
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:06.000
So a partial that's adjacent to the site or there need to be plans to build buildings on the site.

115
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:12.000
And one other thing for this particular technology is it can't be in an area with Permafro.

116
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.000
So that does rule out a couple of sites in Alaska.

117
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:23.000
But most of the continental us there does qualify for the geothermal ground source, heat bumps.

118
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.000
So the sites are screened. what did the results show?

119
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:32.000
What does the data mean? And how does Epa get this information to the users?

120
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:42.000
Here are some of the results. So we have screened a 190,000 sites for renewable energy potential of that 158,000 size.

121
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:56.000
Screen positively for renewable energy, and states that have renewable portfolio standard, and that renewable portfolio standard just really sets a requirement for renewable energy production in that State we have about

122
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:08.000
71,000 sites. that screen positively for renewable energy in States that have a repowering policy in a repelling policy is a policy that encourages renewable energy on contaminated lands.

123
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.000
So the policy is specific for landfills or Brownfields.

124
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:18.000
Sometimes mindsights really just underutilized land that might not have another reuse potential for it.

125
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:34.000
And this is these States usually put these policies in place to preserve open space or farmlands, where you know open space and farmland is really important to communities, so that they want to put a little bit of priority on these contaminated lands and

126
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:48.000
give them a little bit extra credit or a multiplier for having them developed. And in repiring, we're see, we're seeing that a lot of states that have this sort of policy are actually developing a lot more of these renewable energy sites on

127
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:53.000
the contaminated lands, states like massachusetts New Jersey, and New York.

128
00:17:53.000 --> 00:18:03.000
They've had policy like this in place for a while and they are consistently the top 3 sites for renewable energy development on contaminated lands.

129
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:13.000
We also screen 34,000 sites for a distributed scale photo, votic, or larger in states than encourage community solar or shared renewables.

130
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:18.000
So this is for people who live in apartment buildings, or maybe at their homes.

131
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:26.000
They have a bunch of trees that create a shading problem or the the roof isn't in the right direction to install solar panels.

132
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:38.000
This allows those folks to be able to buy into or subscribe to renewable energy, so they can, you know, engage with this community solar, and get a subscription for it, and that allows them to have renewable energy where

133
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:44.000
they may not otherwise be able to install panels or wind turbines on their properties.

134
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:49.000
And finally we had about 82,000 slides screen positively for off-grid solar.

135
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:55.000
And this could be used to reduce onsite energy use or power, green remediation.

136
00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:10.000
Sometimes these sites are remotely located, and if they have some long-term energy and sense of remediations at them, green remediation is a good use for offsetting costs for that remediation, so pulling

137
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:22.000
it all together the end products. How do we get this information to folks? There's 3 different main in products that came out of the repelling map, or we have the interactive mapper itself the repiring ge geo database and

138
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:28.000
then the repiring spreadsheet all 3 of these in products have the same data included in them.

139
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:39.000
They're just really different ways of getting that information to the users. So if you don't have a gis group or Gis software, you can use that repowering map or to kind of get the the Gis picture as well as the

140
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:46.000
tabular data out of that. if you do have Gis software, and you prefer to look at that on your own without going through the mapper.

141
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:53.000
We have that geo database that you can download off the website. And if you're just interested in tabular D data, we have the powering spreadsheet.

142
00:19:53.000 --> 00:20:02.000
So all 3 of these are available on the repairing website, and the all 3 kind of serve a purpose and meet a different audience needs.

143
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:12.000
In addition to those in products, there's also some documentation to go along with it, There's the combined user guide and data documentation document, and this used to be 2 separate documents.

144
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:20.000
But for this update we combined all of the the documents into one to kind of give you a one-stop shop.

145
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:25.000
So the beginning of the document has that step by step, user guide and information on how to use the mapping application.

146
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:32.000
And then the last half of that document has details that, regarding the data that was included.

147
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:44.000
So it has a screening criteria. We just showed. It has information about the State and epa dataas that were included, and it has some information about the screening process and the limitation to the data included.

148
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:49.000
And then we have the map or fact sheet, and that has more statistics and facts in there.

149
00:20:49.000 --> 00:21:01.000
A little bit more information about the individual technologies that were explored for the repowering map, or and it just has some of these neat little stats that go along with it.

150
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:06.000
There have been several iterations of the repaling mapper over the years.

151
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:13.000
It started out a static maps of just some paper maps, and on the Google Earth platform, back in 2,008.

152
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:18.000
And it's continued to grow and improve with each update throughout the year.

153
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:31.000
So in this update the re-powering map. or 3 rep power made some substantial changes to really improve the user experience, and that was based on input and feedback from the user.

154
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:43.000
So. So if you're using this new mapping application you see ways to improve it, or things that could be changed please feel free to reach out and let us know, because we do take that into consideration and the information will likely be

155
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:48.000
updated in the future again. So we can take that into consideration with those updates.

156
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:56.000
This update utilizes the latest as you platform it increases the number of screen sites to over 190,000.

157
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:01.000
We updated that screening criteria based with the current market trends.

158
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:05.000
What's really happening out there in the real world added some more tools.

159
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:13.000
There's some customized filters that with the intent of allowing users to get that list of sites that they want a lot quicker.

160
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:23.000
So if you're interested in landfills that had utility scale solar in Virginia, you can do that with just a few clicks of some of the filters and queries that are out there it includes additional

161
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:28.000
supplemental layers, and it also has links in there to some environmental justice.

162
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:42.000
Information. so developers and communities can get an idea about the community that they're installing or planning to stall that solar wind in when the initiative started they're just a handful of renewable energy projects

163
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:55.000
on contaminated lands, and today there are over 450 completed renewable energy projects on contaminated lands, and that is also a recent update. To this repaling, Mapper, that we included a layer that

164
00:22:55.000 --> 00:23:00.000
has the complete of projects in there, and so you can see the distribution of those projects across the Us.

165
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:09.000
And you we talked about that policy and you can see that there are a whole lot of sites here in massachusetts, and can't really see New Jersey for the text there.

166
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:19.000
But there's quite a few in new jersey in New York as well do the solar policy. So you can see the distribution of those completed sites that we know about. and if you click on the individual sites you get a

167
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:31.000
pop up. That gives you some more information about those and as if you're going through this information, and you see you think you know about a completed installation that's not included in this layer.

168
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:40.000
Please let us know. we'll work to get that added to both the map or into the tracking matrix which is where we track these complete a projects.

169
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:48.000
Alright. So we have another polling question for you and I hope those numbers from the first poll here are reverse al alright.

170
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:58.000
So just like earlier you'll click on the answer the circle to the left of the answer that you'd like to, and then go ahead and hit that submit button i'm seeing a lot of responses coming in for about 60

171
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:04.000
percent of the audience having voted. And yes, Rebecca, the pattern is shifting a bit.

172
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:13.000
But really we want to give all of you a chance to share your thoughts here before I close this pull down in just a second or 2.

173
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:17.000
So I think i'm gonna close it and we'll take a look at those results here, and 3 2 1.

174
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:27.000
All right, so it does look like about 2 thirds of the audience says, Yes, I think I'm gonna plan on using this tool in the future.

175
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.000
And then about a third or so is still unsure.

176
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:39.000
So they might have more questions about the tool yeah definitely if you guys have questions or other things you want to ask, and it may be when Kelsey gives her a part of the presentation.

177
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:44.000
She'll persuade The rest of you guys that are at short, to at least go out there and give it a quick check in and kind of drive around in there.

178
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:50.000
It's it's really fun to at least for me to go into these mapping applications and just check them out.

179
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:58.000
Last, but not least here we wanna to give a a big thank you out to everybody that really assisted with this update.

180
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:07.000
It wouldn't really be nearly the tool that it is without everyone's help, and these are some folks that provided data they worked on the mapping application.

181
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.000
They did some beta testing, and they provide us some feedback for it.

182
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:17.000
And here we list out those individual colleagues and those State agencies that did provide data.

183
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:22.000
We really appreciate your all's. help it really is a team that makes this application happen.

184
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:36.000
So if you are interested in supplying data that is not included in the repelling mapper at this time, please reach out and let us know. and maybe for the next presentation we can add you guys in here to that and if you

185
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:42.000
have provided data, please, you know, after this presentation, maybe it will be helpful and useful for you.

186
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:51.000
So you can go out there and share that information with your constituents, and maybe get some of these lands put back into productive reuse and benefiting the communities.

187
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:59.000
In addition to the map or re-powering just have some other products out there, there's the tracking matrix, and that has those complete, its sites included in it.

188
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:09.000
And then we have a benefits matrix. So you know, if you have some folks that are on the fence about what benefits there are to this type of development on these land, you can take a look at that benefits.

189
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:26.000
Matrix, and we try to capture you know what the developers what the communities are saying about these sites as benefits and and give you some real hard, fast information in numbers about that and specific details about that site. So without further ado i'd like to turn this over to what

190
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:31.000
I think, is the better part of this presentation, and have Kelsey give us a quick demonstration of the map.

191
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:38.000
Or thank you guys, for your time. Great. Thank you, Rebecca, for that.

192
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:45.000
I am going to the screen so that I can share

193
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:54.000
The mapper, and so, as we're back to mentioned I am going to do walk through a live demonstration of the Mac, or functionality.

194
00:26:54.000 --> 00:27:02.000
But before I do that I wanna do. wanted to highlight some information that is in the user guide.

195
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:15.000
Rebecca alluded to I mentioned that we have the user guide on the website, and I think especially for the 75% of you that Haven't used the not for before this will be very important and very

196
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:20.000
helpful And so here you can see some of the functionality.

197
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:28.000
That is included in the new mapper update, and I will walk through most of this during my demonstration.

198
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:38.000
But when you need to reference it again, this is in user guide and then there we go.

199
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:47.000
I just wanna highlight as a rebecca mentioned there's a ton of data included in the mapper and a lot of data that we've included in this update in particular.

200
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:54.000
We've added a bunch of layers, so you know we have the rep power insights, of course, including the completed projects that Laura mentioned.

201
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:59.000
We have several different geographic boundary layers, infrastructure layers.

202
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:11.000
We have some information about physical site, characteristics and We have some layers that illustrate the renewable energy resources, many of which are included within the attribute table.

203
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.000
But you can see them kind of on a broader scale.

204
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:27.000
And then we have some information about the various electric electricity, grid management and planning boundaries, and some demographic information included from Ej.

205
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:33.000
Screen. So with that i'm going to move over to the mappper

206
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:41.000
And this is the map or so for those of you who Haven't used it yet, or haven't seen it. Then when you first open it, there will be a little pop-up while coming into the Mapper.

207
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:50.000
But this is kind of the home screen this is what will show up when you first login, and so i'm going to walk through some functionality here.

208
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:56.000
I'm going to start by turning on we can see all the layers that are included here as Well, as the legend.

209
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:06.000
So that's really helpful. I know all these orange dots are the screen free powering sites the purple triangles.

210
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:14.000
Our the completed sites, and so you can turn on what you want to see what's helpful for you.

211
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.000
I encourage you to really explore what all is included here.

212
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:23.000
I'll highlight some of it during this demonstration but there's a lot here, so when you go in.

213
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:29.000
Please do explore everything that we've included here.

214
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:39.000
So i'm gonna walk through some hypothetical situations some ways that you can use the mapper to find a site that works for you.

215
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:43.000
As Rebecca mentioned, we have over 190,000

216
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:49.000
So that's overwhelming and surely you're not going to be interested in all of them, although it is impressive to look at.

217
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:58.000
But I wanna highlight some different ways you can use the mapper to narrow down and find a site that suits your means.

218
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:03.000
So the first i'm going to pull up the predefined queries.

219
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:14.000
These are some various combinations, contaminated lands and electricity types that re-powering those are fairly common amongst our users.

220
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:19.000
So we just wanted to make it easy to populate those queries quickly.

221
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:27.000
So i'm going to for example, say i'm interested in utility, smell, wind on abandoned mind land sites.

222
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:31.000
This is a a predefined query that retail right greeted.

223
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:35.000
So I just need to apply it, and I can see. Okay.

224
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:42.000
So we went from 190,000 to 21 so that's definitely narrowed down.

225
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:46.000
But this isn't helpful yet I want to be able to see them on the map.

226
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:51.000
So I go up to these little dots up here, and that brings up the action menu.

227
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:57.000
So I can show all of these sites on the map, and I do want to just point out.

228
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:01.000
So you can see here in the results. pop up that we are showing off sites.

229
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:18.000
Her page. So this is a pretty small query. But for some of the larger ones, especially within the solar, you might need to scroll through to see all of the sites on the map have so hypothetically, if I were to

230
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:25.000
look through these, and I say, Okay, this one looks interesting it's in Minnesota.

231
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:39.000
Great. So am I that this is my needs. I can first of all, I can export all my results to various different file type, so I can export it to Csv.

232
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:47.000
For example, if I want a quick and easy way to look at all the data that's included here, it's the same data.

233
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:51.000
But if you prefer excel, you want to do some filtering through that.

234
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:56.000
You can do that fairly easily. but i'm interested in this site.

235
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:03.000
I think it has potential for what what my means are so i'm going to

236
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:12.000
I selected it. You can see the blue little fox around it, and I'm again, going to go to my action menu. You just want to see it on the map.

237
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:18.000
So this will zoom into it. You can see yup It's in Minnesota.

238
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:25.000
You can click on it. you can see also the same information that's here.

239
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:36.000
But in this little information pop up, which happens when you click on, or select a site or various feature within the map.

240
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:41.000
So that's one way that's the predefined query way. it's kind of the most basic you know.

241
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:52.000
There's not a lot of filtering that went into that it was the like, I said the queries that the retiring team kind of preloaded into the map.

242
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:59.000
So I'm going to show you a different way now so I went to this home button.

243
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:11.000
It moved me back into the default map. view i'm gonna go down here to the little trash, can and remove my results from my previous inquiry.

244
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:20.000
So this second way is more user involved. and so say you have a really good idea of what kind of site you're looking for.

245
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:34.000
You have some specific criteria that you know you want to narrow down based upon. So you can use your own filters here, and you can filter on a lot of the information that you include or that we've included within

246
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:41.000
each site the screening material or the screen criteria, like Rebecca, mentioned permafrost connectivity.

247
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:48.000
So in this again. hypothetical instance say I am in Massachusetts.

248
00:33:48.000 --> 00:34:05.000
So i'm going to select that from the State filter and then turn on that filter so great we've gone down to there about 2,700 sites in Massachusetts that's helpful but I know I

249
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:20.000
can narrow it down further say for my specific means i'm looking for a site, maybe between 50 and let's say 100 acres and In this hypothetical situation.

250
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:30.000
I'm a solar developer and I know that for my particular project to be viable has to have at least 10 megawatts of Pv.

251
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.000
Capacity. And let's just say I wanna hypothetically, Max.

252
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:39.000
7,000. Okay, okay. So this is great we've narrowed it down to 56 sites.

253
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:50.000
That's much more manageable. but I also know that I wanted to be at least within a mile of the nearest transmission line.

254
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:58.000
I want it to be fairly simple, to connect to the pre-existing right, not out kind of in the middle of nowhere.

255
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:13.000
And so based on those what 4 filters I have narrowed it down to 36 sites, which is a much more manageable list of sites to go through, especially since I already kind of had an idea of what type

256
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:26.000
of site. I was looking for some aspects of that so let's really dive into these sites and open up the attribute table, which has the information for these 36 sites. again.

257
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:30.000
It's a ton of information that we've included for each site.

258
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:39.000
I won't go through it all here, but It has screening criteria as well as site information and environmental characteristics.

259
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:51.000
So. hypothetically. I have spent some time going through all of this, and I have decided this site seems particularly promising for my news.

260
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:56.000
I see it's a super fun site and so i'm going to again.

261
00:35:56.000 --> 00:36:06.000
Oh, snick my how about smaller! But i'm gonna again. go to my action, menu, and i'm going to zoom to it on the map.

262
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:11.000
So there it is. There is my potential site and because it's a super fun site.

263
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:20.000
I know that we have super fun site boundaries in the map or as a layer. So there it is.

264
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:28.000
There's my site you can see this is the one that I've decided, meets my hypothetical needs.

265
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:35.000
So it looks promising. I feel good about this but I want to know you know there's some buildings over here.

266
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:47.000
Maybe some buildings here, but what is really happening and on the site So i'm going to change the base map went to this button down here and change the basement to be a satellite image?

267
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:52.000
So I can see. Okay, there's really not a lot going on here.

268
00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:04.000
In the site this particular one I know if using that a little bit more. you can see some solar panels are already here, but hypothetically, we're going to pretend that this is an undeveloped

269
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:09.000
site. and so you know, I think there's maybe some potential up in this northern corner here.

270
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:15.000
This looks like a pretty open area here, so this could be

271
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:18.000
This could be good. This could work for me I don't know what's happening here.

272
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:31.000
It looks like maybe there's a little bit of a hill. so luckily we have a slope player included in the maper, and that really shows you the relief of the film is very steep.

273
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:38.000
Here a little slope here, but again it's pretty flat on top and flat around this

274
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:47.000
But now I can no longer see my my base map so i'm going to here.

275
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:58.000
That's the legend i'm going to decrease the opacity of it, so that I can still see what's happening underneath it, on just including kind of the hint of that slope layer on top of it and you

276
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:04.000
can do that for most layers in the in the mapper.

277
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:08.000
So again. I think this is pretty good. I feel optimistic about it.

278
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:14.000
I maybe want to move forward with it, but before I do, I just wanna make sure that

279
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:29.000
The area included. Here is viable for my for my needs and so maybe I'm gonna start just up in this top little bit here, so I can measure the area of this part if my mouse will come along with me there.

280
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:33.000
We go, and so maybe this is like a good place to start.

281
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:39.000
At least I can kind of explore some other areas o of this site.

282
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:52.000
Later. So let's start with just this little bit up north and see how big that is

283
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:58.000
Nothing will stop measuring. Okay, so this is pretty good I feel good about it.

284
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:05.000
It's about what like 1717,000 meters squared, So that seems reasonable.

285
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:13.000
I think that I can go ahead with this. That seems like a good amount of area to start with.

286
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:21.000
So that's how you can do that How you can narrow down the site list based on your own specific criteria?

287
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:34.000
If you have some really unique situations or you already kind of know what you're needs, are you can really drill down, based on those details and find a site that really matches your needs.

288
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.000
And then, once you find the site, you can do a little bit deeper exploration into it.

289
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:43.000
Of course, just looking at the map or won't tell you everything you need to know about the site.

290
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:49.000
But we do hope that we've given you a pretty good start with the features in this update.

291
00:39:49.000 --> 00:40:02.000
So i'm going to clear. this out so in my layers and legends, I think, on a couple things that I don't need for the next part, so i'm just going to press clear up here and return it to

292
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:21.000
default. I'm going to go back to the face map that we had before, and go home again

293
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:39.000
And clear my filters as well, so that we let's see full universe of sites. because now i'm gonna show you the third way to use the map or to find out information about a site.

294
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:45.000
So in this hypothetical situation i'm in a community that i'm pretty well involved in.

295
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:54.000
So I already know. the site that i'm interested in i've had this idea that I think it might be good for renewable energy reuse.

296
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.000
So i'm just gonna look it up by the name of here.

297
00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:04.000
So I went up to this little search magnifying glass, and I know that my site is called old Motel, and there it is.

298
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:09.000
It's already been screen it's in the mapper perfect I can learn more about it.

299
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:15.000
This way. So let's zoom in send arizona's.

300
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:21.000
You can see yep this is my community that's the i'm thinking of.

301
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:30.000
I can see it's a brown field here and I wanna learn a little bit more about it.

302
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:36.000
So we've included some links here. some external links, and you can see we have site.

303
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:40.000
Information. Ej: Report in a couple census reports, so I just wanna highlight.

304
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:48.000
If you pull up the site information link

305
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:54.000
Gonna load Thomas

306
00:41:54.000 --> 00:42:02.000
Well, so it'll pull up the property details for this site from clean ups in the community.

307
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:08.000
Eps database, and I can see some more information about it.

308
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:12.000
There it is, and I can see okay great it's ready for anticipated use.

309
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:19.000
That's promising that's a good start for my project

310
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:32.000
And then I am also interested in Ej: report the demographics around the site, so I can open that. It'll take me directly to

311
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:38.000
The email screen report using epa's version 2.0 of E.

312
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:48.000
J. screen. These reports are included for all the sites, and we just want to point out that it is a default of one mile buffer around the site.

313
00:42:48.000 --> 00:43:03.000
So you can see this is the that long the site and Did a one mile buffer on that and for that one mile buffer that area, you can see here are the environmental justice indicators for I didn't do a matter air

314
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:08.000
quality, that sort of thing, and you can scroll down, and you can get the information.

315
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:12.000
So socioeconomic indicators of people of color there's my site.

316
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:23.000
It's in the 70 seventh percentile and So Okay, So I've learned about this There's some good Ej: information here.

317
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:29.000
What else do I wanna know about this site? Well, i'm kind of interested in?

318
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:37.000
What infrastructure already exists around here. so I mean I know the roads obviously are included here.

319
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:42.000
But let's get a little bit more detailed infrastructure.

320
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:49.000
And so if I turn on just all the infrastructure layers here, I can see a lot of this populated

321
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:59.000
And what are symbols near it. So let's see what are these: These are: I can open the legend, and I can see.

322
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:08.000
Okay, those are electric substations, some of those nearby and electric term transmission lines and purple.

323
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:19.000
Okay, So that's promising. Feel good about that and then, you know, power plans very different transportation methods are included here.

324
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:24.000
So okay, I feel good about this. I learned a lot of information about this site.

325
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:36.000
I wanna take it to I don't know my boss or the community members to present it to them isn't what I've learned. so we've included a feature here where you can print.

326
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:48.000
This into a map, and so we're going to call it the old Montel map and print it out, and it's going to take a minute.

327
00:44:48.000 --> 00:45:03.000
But I already have it up here I can get tab So I already pulled this map earlier and this is what it looks like, so you can see all the infrastructure that I included. here.

328
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:15.000
There, there's a legend down here, scale so you can take this map of your site, and whatever layers you've included, and presented your community to your boss whoever

329
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:22.000
And so in this hypothetical situation I presented it to my boss and said, Okay, great.

330
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:29.000
This looks promising, but this is the southwest we're concerned about some environmental concerns.

331
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:33.000
And so, for example, Wildfire, what is the wildfire potential here.

332
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:36.000
We don't want to build something only for it to be burn down.

333
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:48.000
Oh, okay, that's a good question let's check so we did not include a wildfire layer in our layers and legends as a pre-populated data player.

334
00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:53.000
Here. but that's okay, because down here, you can add your own data.

335
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:56.000
So you can do this in 3 different ways. You can search for existing.

336
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:13.000
Js content. If you have a url to a feature service layer already, you can put it here, or if you have your own shape, file, or file, that you want to include here, you can upload it, and then add it to

337
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:21.000
the mapper that way, so i'm going to search for a wildfire hazard layer hopefully.

338
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:28.000
There's one out there. Oh, look there is this one down here that seems promising.

339
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:38.000
Wildfire potential. Add it to the map

340
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:48.000
So again you can see it's for the whole country so that's good for you know a variety of uses.

341
00:46:48.000 --> 00:47:08.000
But again it's kind of up all my all my other information so it's been added to the layers and legends pop up, so I can go in and I can see and again decrease the capacity so

342
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:19.000
here's my site, and if I click on this the new wildfire layer that i've included, I can see.

343
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:26.000
Okay, great. We have low risk here. So not much potential for wild and fire hazard.

344
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:30.000
This seems like a good site. I can go Tell my boss the community.

345
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:34.000
Whoever asked that I added this day to layer found out.

346
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:38.000
This is an additional information, and I can feel confident, moving forward with this site.

347
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:42.000
Now

348
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:58.000
So those are the 3 ways that you can use the mapper to find a site that suits your needs, and hopefully have demonstrated some of the additional functionality to help you green more information about the sites.

349
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:11.000
I'm going to clear what i've had here so I can remove my new fire map from on the method.

350
00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:20.000
So home. Let me see here on the sites. So that was a really quick overview again.

351
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:27.000
I really encourage you, especially if you haven't used the map or before, to look at the

352
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:35.000
The user guide that we have linked to and of course I think it'll, I think it explains basically what I did.

353
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:48.000
But in a little bit more detail and hopefully, not as So with that, I just want to put one more pulling question up on the screen.

354
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:54.000
Hopefully, most of you think that this is helpful but please let us know alright.

355
00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:04.000
So I'm, starting to see some of those answers come on in and again I'll just ask the audience to take a brief moment here to click the circle to the left of the answer, and then hit the submit.

356
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:08.000
Button for anyone who might be participating on a mobile device. it should pop up and cover your screen.

357
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:18.000
But if it doesn't take a look for the 3 dots or more button, and that'll give you an option, pull up the poll if it hasn't opened automatically on your mobile device, all right it looks like

358
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:24.000
about 3 over 4 of the audience have cast their responses so i'm going to go ahead and end this Poll.

359
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:29.000
Now here waiting just a second and let's take a look at those results.

360
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:35.000
So Kelsey overwhelmingly. about 86% of the audience felt this was very helpful.

361
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:42.000
And so well done, good, glad to, and helpful to at least a certain degree.

362
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:47.000
And again. It was really quick. there's a lot of functionality in this mapper.

363
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:52.000
I encourage you to spend some time poking around with it i'm with Rebecca. I think it's kind of fun.

364
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:57.000
But again we are really excited about the new functionality.

365
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:06.000
So with that i'm going to turn it over to Flora

366
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:09.000
Okay, Well, thank you so much. Rebecca and Kelsey.

367
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:15.000
Those were excellent presentations. I learned a lot, and I hope I everybody else did, too.

368
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:21.000
We do have some questions coming in from our participants.

369
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:28.000
So. So i'm gonna start with some of those and if we don't get to answer your question to today.

370
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:34.000
Please feel free to email me. We can do that later on as well.

371
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:41.000
So the first question is, are we planning to expand the States that we have included?

372
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:53.000
And The answer to that is, yes. we would love to encourage States to reach out to us or stakeholders to reach out to us.

373
00:50:53.000 --> 00:51:03.000
They? we would be happy to connect with you and talk about what sites you'd like to include for your state.

374
00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:12.000
It would take us some time to include that. There is a related question about the schedule.

375
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:25.000
How frequently do we add data and i'm gonna ask Rebecca to talk a little bit about the data, and it's static nature in a in a minute.

376
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:35.000
But I just wanna say that every couple of years we do update the the mappper, and so I will turn it over to Rebecca Tech.

377
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:40.000
Answer the question of part of part of the question about

378
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:48.000
The the data and the schedule. Yeah. So we throughout the lifetime of the mapper.

379
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:54.000
Since about 2,008 we have tried to update every 2 years, and we do say that it is a snapshot in time.

380
00:51:54.000 --> 00:52:05.000
So in that data documentation and user guide data documentation, there is a date of when we obtain that data from either the Epa office or the State.

381
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:10.000
And, as you know, there are a couple of updates to the Mpl.

382
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:17.000
Every year, I think they're 2 to those every year so some new superfund sites do get added in Brownfield's grantees are added to the brown fields program.

383
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:24.000
So it won't have the most recent additions of those in there. and the same goes for the States as they update their programs.

384
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:37.000
So it is a snapshot in time, and you can get that information from the data guidelines, and I think it's all about 2,000 2,021 for all this data around the August or in there But you can see the exact.

385
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:43.000
Month and date that the data was either provided by the State or the ep office, or it was downloaded.

386
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:55.000
So if you if there's a recent npl site that has been added, if there's a chance, it might not be included in the pre-screen sites

387
00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:04.000
Super. Thank you so much, So Rebecca. Can you access the mapper on your phone or mobile devices?

388
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:09.000
Yes, you can. I just checked it out on my device, and I was able to get there.

389
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:13.000
There may be some exceptions you know can't test all the different mobile devices that are out there.

390
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:18.000
But I know that Jesse and I both tested some of those, and we were able to get to them.

391
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:26.000
I have a Samsung an android phone so that works I've not tried it on any of the apple products, but I would assume that you can get there there.

392
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:35.000
Might be a little bit of limited functionality if you can't see the full screen and it's probably best enjoyed on a desktop or a tablet.

393
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:51.000
But you can definitely access it from mobile device. super Okay, thank you, So there's a question about is epa looking to partner with utilities to create new tools with this data.

394
00:53:51.000 --> 00:54:00.000
And We are very open to collaborating and forming other making other tools.

395
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:16.000
If you want to reach out to us individually, if you have submitted your question, and your question is in your coming in as an anonymous attendee, If you could either email me directly at string Dot Laura at

396
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:20.000
Epa Gov. or provide your email address. that would be really helpful.

397
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:40.000
So we can get back to you. But in general we are looking for collaborate with utilities, and any other stakeholders that would be interested in using this information to help communities reduce sites and to site projects for

398
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:54.000
renewable energy. there is a question about. Will we ever collect data from citizens who, submit data from their cell phones?

399
00:54:54.000 --> 00:55:01.000
I think the nature of the maver this would be kind of difficult, but i'll let Rebecca answer that as well.

400
00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:16.000
So it's not intended to be a reporting mechanism for sites and and all the sites that are included are in some way regulated or overseeing by a State or Federal agents, so I

401
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:24.000
don't necessarily think that it would be a good way to do that for citizens to include it in there.

402
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:37.000
But if there is a contaminate at land there's a pretty good chance that's included, especially if it's coming from one of the States that epa has collaborated with because we have you know quite a few I

403
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:47.000
think there is 147,000 sites in the States, so they're 190,000 sites in there, and I know that there probably are a significant, unfortunately, especially larger number than that.

404
00:55:47.000 --> 00:56:02.000
But it's not really a reporting tool for contaminated lands. and we're just trying to access those that have been identified as contaminated in our being monitored by either State or epa okay

405
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:14.000
great. Thank you so much. There's a question here. about determining the current ownership of a property. Is there a way to do that in the map of Rebecca?

406
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:19.000
The answer. This question is gonna be. Maybe there is a way to do that.

407
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:37.000
So since we do have data from a couple of different entities, and the information that's collected and reported by those entities is not consistent across the board in getting that site specific information, we try to to call that down into

408
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:50.000
the still it down into the most commonly reported across all the groups that we're working with, and what would be most useful, and I do realize that ownership is one of those things that would be really a critical and important but

409
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:58.000
it's not a feature that we are currently including our attribute we're currently including in the repelling mapper.

410
00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:09.000
But in that pop-up bubble when kelsey was showing that. and she clicked on that site profile that could be a way that you could get the ownership information for particular sites and if the

411
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:19.000
ownership information isn't there you could potentially. reach out to either, repeat remedial project manager, or someone from the State that might have information on ownership.

412
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:29.000
And you know, sometimes these parcels do have multiple ownership information, you know, multiple owners for the property, especially in the case of some of the larger superfund sites.

413
00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:37.000
So that that is a consideration. And then Kelsey also showed you how to add some data in there.

414
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:51.000
Some States or mean municipalities do have partial data, and you could overlay that partial data with the repelling mapper and get our ship information that way which might be helpful not every State or every

415
00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:54.000
municipality in the State has that level of detail.

416
00:57:54.000 --> 00:58:03.000
So that was another thing that we could really add as a supplemental layer, because we didn't have a national scale data set for that, and that's one of the things we tried to do with the creation of the map or

417
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:11.000
is used national level data. So everything's really consistent across there on how we're presenting that and how it's being screened.

418
00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:18.000
There are a little bit of exceptions, to that especially when we're working with. we do have puerto Rico and Virgin Islands in there.

419
00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:24.000
And so their data set is a slightly different resolution than what we have for

420
00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:28.000
The Continental us, and alaskan hawaii so you can't get there.

421
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:33.000
But it's not abundantly clear in the the data set as it is.

422
00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:45.000
You know, displayed in the mapper thanks Rebecca and I just wanna also mention that if you do have a particular site that you're looking at.

423
00:58:45.000 --> 00:58:55.000
It is really sometimes helpful to get to the remedial project manager, and we have our list of epa contacts on our website.

424
00:58:55.000 --> 00:59:09.000
So if you can't find it in the mapper, you can always reach out to us separately, via email and find, we can potentially help you find more information.

425
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:20.000
For example, about the owner of this site. potentially or other information that may not be in the map, or so after you've explored all of that, you know.

426
00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:27.000
We'd be happy to help you further if you want to get in touch with us that way.

427
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:45.000
So I have a couple questions about additional ways, or additional sites that might be helpful to identify nearby.

428
00:59:45.000 --> 01:00:02.000
So, for example, in evaluating the sites If you wanted to bring in a layer to look at like oil and gas production? or other data. Rebecca. Is that possible to do that?

429
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:05.000
Yeah, you can't add other data sets into the repelling mapper.

430
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:14.000
You can add things that are on azure online mapping system online Rdas, And you can add other mapping services that are out there.

431
01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:25.000
If you have the link for it. So if you have your own mapping application, and you have your data, you can put that link into the map or application, and add that, or if you have a shape, file, you can't add that in there, as well, so if

432
01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:30.000
you have information from homeland security, or any place like that you want to add it.

433
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:34.000
It is pretty easy to add that Kelsey did do a demonstration of that once, she added.

434
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:41.000
The wildfire, probably, and that is explained in the the documentation.

435
01:00:41.000 --> 01:00:49.000
The user Guide. Great. thank you. I think some of the questions may have come in before Kelsey's presentation, which is great.

436
01:00:49.000 --> 01:01:06.000
I'd like to have this dialogue to We have a question here about what do the blue and tan colors mean on the map

437
01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:18.000
Think it's the underlying map is that right so when you open the mapping application.

438
01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:28.000
We do have that base map that is I think it's a topo map, and it's kind of a green and tan, and then and I know everybody's monitors make things look very different.

439
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:35.000
So for me. There's a bunch of circles and those are orange, and that are those are the screen sites.

440
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:42.000
And then there's some bluish purple triangles, and those are the completed installations.

441
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:51.000
So and you can get to the information that the legend that tells you what that yeah kelsey's gonna share that right there.

442
01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:55.000
So if you expand that you get the legends so you can see what

443
01:01:55.000 --> 01:02:01.000
You know the symbology on their means. So and you can do that for all the layers that are on there.

444
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:06.000
And if you add data sets, you can do that as well, too.

445
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:13.000
So hopefully that answers the question. thank you Yes, this is great all right.

446
01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:24.000
Well, I don't see any other questions at this time So we's take take a pause and see if any other questions come in, and we'd be happy to answer them today.

447
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:33.000
Or if you want to email us, my email, I can is strain dot Laura at Epa, Gov:

448
01:02:33.000 --> 01:02:39.000
We're happy to answer questions later on if you think of one tonight or tomorrow.

449
01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:49.000
Please feel free to email us but we'll pause for a couple of minutes here and see if we have any additional questions that come in.

450
01:02:49.000 --> 01:03:03.000
Yeah. and i'll just add that this update was was one of the really nice things about it is that we weren't necessarily limited by the number of sites we included in the past. when we're in the Google Earth

451
01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:11.000
platform. we definitely test it. The limits of that, and I think maybe actually exceeded the the limits of of Google Earth there.

452
01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:26.000
And you know, we can really add a lot more sites to that application without, creating some issues with you know, downloading that and making a display in a manner that wasn't gonna drive everybody that was using it a little

453
01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:30.000
bit to make them frustrated i'm not being able to pull things up and move around.

454
01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:37.000
And with this update the new edging platform at really has adapted to that 190,000 sites.

455
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:40.000
They load super fast, and you're able to scroll around in there.

456
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:53.000
So. that that's one of the reasons that Epa was kind of going through the State State by State and adding them in and looking at the numbers that were in the States as well to not over exceed what the current

457
01:03:53.000 --> 01:04:01.000
technology. Limited limitations were out there at the time for putting sites into the mapping application.

458
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:13.000
Great thanks, Rebecca. So we have another question about how We're working with utilities to help them consider citing new projects on these locations.

459
01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:25.000
At this time. we have feasibility study projects that we're doing, and they are at about 10 sites across the country.

460
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:43.000
So we are reaching out to the utilities when it makes sense to do so at those particular locations, and we would encourage anybody who wants to have a stakeholder meeting with their utility around this issue we'd be happy to

461
01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:48.000
participate in that, just you know, gotten in touch with us.

462
01:04:48.000 --> 01:05:01.000
So we're very stakeholder engagement friendly and you know we'd love to help people understand the tools, and also sort of the backdrop of information.

463
01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:08.000
That makes the States that are successfully redeveloping many of these sites possible.

464
01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:15.000
And so there are lots of tools that are state-based tools that we can talk about.

465
01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:24.000
And we'd be happy to connect with you further on that.

466
01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:34.000
So thank you for that question. I have a question that's asking if we can please reshow how to determine cleanup progress.

467
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:40.000
Kelsey, do you want to go through that again?

468
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:50.000
Sure, sure, so I can. The way to do that is to visit the external

469
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:56.000
The external site information. so the proper air, like clients and like community.

470
01:05:56.000 --> 01:06:12.000
So this is just a site that I clicked on it's an aml site. So I don't think it'll have that that data is really limited based on how well epa tracks it how Well, it's reported

471
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:22.000
to epa so I just I know that brown fields.

472
01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:31.000
Are generally the best of tracking that and of course i'm never going to be able to find a brownfield here on the fly.

473
01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:35.000
But the way that I found that if you do find a site that you're interested in.

474
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:41.000
So I just randomly pick this side it's a landfill so I don't think that we'll have that information for it.

475
01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:45.000
But if you go down here, you scroll down to the site information.

476
01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:50.000
Can you press a view. it'll take you to the external page here.

477
01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:56.000
So this is for a Colorado site. but and so you can dig around.

478
01:06:56.000 --> 01:07:04.000
Maybe they have it, i'm not entirely sure colorado sites.

479
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:12.000
But basically, when you do that, if it's an epa site it'll bring you to the clients and my community database.

480
01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:17.000
Oh, boy, now and that has that information there.

481
01:07:17.000 --> 01:07:24.000
Included. Yeah. And if you do the superfund site boundaries, I think you might be able to get to that as well.

482
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:28.000
So the superfund sites should all have All the Npr.

483
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:33.000
Sites should have clean up information around about them as well.

484
01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:37.000
And that email So you looked at, I think was nifrapped.

485
01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:43.000
So yeah, Okay, i'm picking all the wrong sites but but that's the general way to go about it.

486
01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:47.000
And again you can reach out to the Rpm.

487
01:07:47.000 --> 01:07:53.000
Remedial project managers for them too.

488
01:07:53.000 --> 01:08:02.000
And if the Rpm. isn't listed you can reach out to one of the re-powering team members or me, and we can help you find that information.

489
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:10.000
So sometimes it will be available on the links from the map, or and sometimes it won't.

490
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:14.000
But oftentimes you can find it in the site.

491
01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:20.000
Remediation links and the profiles that are included.

492
01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:33.000
So here it is for this long example I used earlier again, it's a brown field, but manage the epa. So it has kind of a specific set of data that they track including progress.

493
01:08:33.000 --> 01:08:40.000
And you can see this where it said it was

494
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:44.000
And you got there, Kelsey, by clicking the profile.

495
01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:49.000
Page So I selected the site which popped up.

496
01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:58.000
This little information pop up, and I went to site information which brought me to that external and that way is included in the attribute table.

497
01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:02.000
So if you export, you know, like how you were showing you how to do that.

498
01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:08.000
If you export a list of sites that link will be provided in there as well, and then it's also included in that spreadsheet.

499
01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:14.000
So I all the information in the pop-up bubble that we've been showing you is in this attribute table as well.

500
01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:26.000
Right there's the the profile so that's that's another way to to get to it as well. so we don't have to be in the map or to access it you can export your list, and and look at

501
01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:32.000
it later. if you want to

502
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:38.000
Great. Thank you so much

503
01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:47.000
So there's a question we have been focused on solar and there's a question about the feasibility for wind projects.

504
01:09:47.000 --> 01:10:01.000
Rebecca, Do you want to talk a little bit about the sites that are screened for 4 wind? Yeah. So when we screened all of these sites, we looked for solar potential wind potential bio mass and the ground source, heat

505
01:10:01.000 --> 01:10:16.000
pump. so we just screen for when and a lot of those sites are, you know, positive, for when we looked at utility scale went then, I think it's called the community wind, and then facility.

506
01:10:16.000 --> 01:10:20.000
So that would be if you're just putting one turbine on there to use it on site.

507
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:23.000
And then we have the no acreage, one category as well.

508
01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:33.000
So it was they were screened for when Yes, it's kind of a habit we get into of just focusing on the solar, because that's where we're seeing a lot of the development.

509
01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:40.000
But the wind sites that are developed are typically much larger in capacity than those solar sites that are being developed.

510
01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:45.000
So they are very important, and should not be overlooked in in this data set.

511
01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:52.000
Thank you for asking that question. Yeah, definitely. Thank you. And just a reminder.

512
01:10:52.000 --> 01:11:08.000
There is also information on geothermal and there's also information and biomass, and those are not as popular as solar or wind. However, they are included, and we do encourage you to Look at those

513
01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:16.000
technologies as well. let's see here we're doing really well on time and questions.

514
01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:21.000
Thank you so much for all of your great questions. The questions are just amazing.

515
01:11:21.000 --> 01:11:27.000
So in terms of I have a question about adding data.

516
01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:33.000
Whether the map will include energy communities as defined by

517
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:55.000
A couple of the more recent bills that have passed and at this time. We aren't planning to add any data to this particular update of the mapper but we can help you figure out how to do whatever

518
01:11:55.000 --> 01:12:04.000
you need to do to sort the data. So if you have particular you know, focuses that you would like to.

519
01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:09.000
Get assistance with you, would be happy to help you do that.

520
01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:15.000
So please reach out there's probably a way to do just about anything.

521
01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:29.000
It's just a matter of we have closed the the update here, so we would need to figure out a way to sort of sort of the data in in excel or somehow.

522
01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:40.000
Got you got you What you need but we're very open to connecting with you on any particular needs that you You may have, Rebecca.

523
01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:49.000
Did you want to add anything there? Yeah. At one time in the past we did have some renewable energy, zones included, and screen for those.

524
01:12:49.000 --> 01:13:01.000
But they were kind of changed pretty rapidly, and was kind of hard to keep up with that so kind of abandoned keeping that sort of information in there.

525
01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:08.000
Kind of changes with the various political environments for the the country and in the States.

526
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:11.000
So kind of pulled back on that. but we can definitely help you out with that.

527
01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:15.000
And like, I said, one of the 3 products is that the G.

528
01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:28.000
Your database. So if you had some geospatial information for those energy communities, you could bring that you could either bring that layer into the mapper, or you could, you know, bring the the the map or data into your gis and

529
01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:33.000
kind of overlay that look there, or repowering, could assist you with that as well.

530
01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:45.000
So it's definitely important thing to look at and consider when you are trying to develop these sites as some of those energy communities or renewable energy zones that they have out There It's just kind of hard to to keep

531
01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:51.000
up with all that, and be relevant to how things are changing.

532
01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:56.000
Thank you. Okay, we have a question Rebecca about.

533
01:13:56.000 --> 01:14:06.000
Can you screen to see only the ready for reuse anticipated, ready for new sites?

534
01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:12.000
Yeah, there is no easy way to do that, unfortunately, and that goes back to my earlier explanation.

535
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:25.000
For some of these things is that we're getting information from multiple entities, and we're trying to distill it down into something that we have information for across the the country.

536
01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:30.000
For so there's no easy way to screen for that ready for anticipated use.

537
01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:37.000
Sites in in the data set currently, and that information does kind of change frequently as well.

538
01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:52.000
But I will say that there's sometimes there's an advantages to getting in before these sites are ready for anticipated reuse. and you can take care of some things like grading or some of the institutional.

539
01:14:52.000 --> 01:14:56.000
Controls, and you could kind of plan for the redevelopment.

540
01:14:56.000 --> 01:15:08.000
Along with getting the site ready for that reuse if if you know that you have a landfill that you won't solar on that can kind of be incorporated into the the closing of that landfill or if you're looking at a

541
01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:20.000
brownfoot site, or even a superfund site as They're in there cleaning that up, you know as they get specific operable units ready, or even before then you can kind of work with them to make sure that you incorporate some

542
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:25.000
of the work that needs to be done for the renewable energy siding into that.

543
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:33.000
But I wish there was a way to to screen for those sites but we currently don't have that in there

544
01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:46.000
Thank you so much. all right. Well, thank you so much. We are getting to the end of our time, and I really want to thank Rebecca Kent so much for her.

545
01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:58.000
Efforts on this map or I just want to say she, she is the sort of brains behind this operation, and we really couldn't do it without her.

546
01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:03.000
We also really want to thank our State collaborators.

547
01:16:03.000 --> 01:16:10.000
The folks who reach out to to say, is your data set still relevant? This is the one you want us to use.

548
01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:15.000
And we hope that this presentation today has been helpful to you.

And thank you, Jean, for running this webinar today, as always. It's always great to work with you, and i'm going to turn it back over to Jeanne so she can close out the webinar alright

555
01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:08.000
thank you so very much. I wanna echo your thanks as well to the over 100 individuals who joined us for today's live session before we close out this afternoon.

556
01:17:08.000 --> 01:17:11.000
Session i'd like to walk through a few quick reminders.

557
01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:17.000
So the first thing that I will encourage you to do is be sure to visit us at the cleanup information network at Cluan Org.

558
01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:29.000
Look for some of those connection. icons to sign up for our Rss. speeds or podcasts or our monthly newsletter tech direct, which goes out on the first of each month and we'll highlight webinars such as

559
01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:36.000
today's session. So you can find out what we have scheduled for free online information and technical training through that newsletter.

560
01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:40.000
The other thing that I want to walk everybody through is just a gentle reminder.

561
01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:52.000
If you weren't here at the beginning if you're looking for copies of the presentation material which has lists to the resources and the links you'll find those on the seminar home page so the url shown in red

562
01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:57.000
on this slide is active from today forward so you can visit that Url.

563
01:17:57.000 --> 01:18:03.000
It's the same place where you went to sign up it's the same place we would have pointed you to when checking in today, so you can bookmark that and access it later.

564
01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:13.000
You can also share that with colleagues i'll just note that you may have to scroll up and down on the page and look for plus and minus icons on the far right to expand or collapse.

565
01:18:13.000 --> 01:18:22.000
Various sections again we've already posted the presentation materials on the webinar slides, and then included a number of links that were highlighted in the sessions.

566
01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:25.000
So just links to the mappers, the tutorial.

567
01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:32.000
The fact sheet and the mapper homepage under related urls or websites.

568
01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:38.000
Now for those of you who are looking for a participation of certificate participation certificate.

569
01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:42.000
I would encourage you to fill out the online feedback form.

570
01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:52.000
If you fill up the feedback form which is available for through the seminar homepage that I just highlighted, there will be a box that you can check at the bottom of that feedback, form certifying You were here for

571
01:18:52.000 --> 01:19:03.000
the entire session. and then, once you submit your feedback, as long as your email address has been entered correctly, you will get a copy of a participation certificate by email, you'll also have the option available to

572
01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:06.000
download the certificate right from the confirmation screen.

573
01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:10.000
Sometimes our emails get blocked by spam or junk filters.

574
01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:15.000
So I encourage you to take that option and sort of download it, or save it from the confirmation screen as well.

575
01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:24.000
If you happen to share the line with multiple people at your location, each person can actually fill out that feedback form, even if they didn't register individually and get their own certificate of participation.

576
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:34.000
So I ask those of you who did register. Please get that Url, that read Seminar on homepage, Url, and share that with your colleagues, so they can get to the link to the feedback form and if you happen to be

577
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:38.000
one of the lucky people replaying the recorded version of today's webinar.

01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:43.000
You can still visit that website shown in red and fill out the feedback form based off of your replay.

579
01:19:43.000 --> 01:19:47.000
The archive to get a certificate that you can save for your own records.

580
01:19:47.000 --> 01:19:55.000
And right about now in the online archive, just above my head, in the upper right there should be a button linking directly to that seminar feedback form.

581
01:19:55.000 --> 01:20:00.000
If you have any problems with that you can feel free to reach out to me directly at ballet dot gene at epa dot com.
