2 Criteria That Affect the Potential for Solar <br />Development on Closed Landfills <br />We identified criteria that affect the potential for solar development on closed landfills by reviewing <br />literature and consulting with a wide range of stakeholders. Details of the criteria identification process <br />are in Appendix B. The full list of criteria developed through the literature review and stakeholder <br />consultation process is presented in Table 2-1. Stakeholder input was used to assess the relative <br />importance of the criteria in regard to feasibility and they are listed from most to least important in <br />Table 2-1. <br />In our discussions with stakeholders we identified key criteria which are central to development of solar <br />on closed landfill sites. These criteria were carried forward in our geospatial analysis and ranking and are <br />discussed further with respect to barriers and actions to address those barriers. They are: <br />• GOB status <br />• Cost associated with connection to the transmission and distribution infrastructure as represented <br />by distance to transmission and distribution infrastructure <br />• Site generation capacity <br />Increased construction costs/constructability <br />• Availability of incentives <br />�� <br />
