EPA To Conduct Study In Nitro

WEST VIRGINIA....
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has chosen several former Kanawha Valley industrial sites, all located in Nitro, for a study on whether they are suitable for solar energy projects. Several of the sites were once occupied by chemical manufacturing companies, and the federal agency says, given the sites’ history and current environmental concerns, their reuse and redevelopment is limited. However, it says the study is a unique opportunity to determine if solar power generation is a viable option for marginal land reuse, and the study’s findings could lead to redevelopment opportunities at other industrial sites, including reclaimed surface mines in central and southern West Virginia. The study on the Nitro sites is expected to be completed by spring.
