CEP Renewables, NJR Clean Energy Ventures and CS Energy have completed the 19 MW grid supply Foul Rift solar project, located in Warren County, N.J.
The project was built on a brownfield that had been the home to a composting facility for nearly 30 years. Prior to the facility ceasing its operations, it had a history of violations received from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). CEP’s development of this project remediated environmental damage at the site.
“This project demonstrates both New Jersey’s strong policy support for brownfield and landfill solar projects, as well as the power of developing a grid supply solar farm to remediate environmental damages that would not have otherwise been addressed,” says Chris Ichter, executive vice president at CEP Renewables.
“We were able to draw upon our prior experience on similarly challenging brownfield and landfill solar projects to develop an effective public-private partnership with White Township that will positively impact generations to come.”
When CEP initially encountered this property, an environmental investigation indicated that the soils were contaminated with metals, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and arsenic, that necessitated the use of an institutional control.
To bring the site into compliance with regulations, CEP cleared the remaining compost berm and waste materials and negotiated a pre-purchase administrative consent order with NJDEP to resolve the remaining violations and terminate the solid waste permit.
Similar to CEP’s Mount Olive and BEMS landfill solar projects, the Foul Rift project was acquired through the redevelopment and tax lien foreclosure process.

Ask a Pro
I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:
Don’t live on a budget. Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means. What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?
As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do. You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”
Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country. Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.

Solar PV in Spain
I see.
There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.
LOL.

What’s Wrong with Human Civilization?
It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.
People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species. Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed. They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.
As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
