[5] EPA had completed sufficient cleanup of the Super Fund site by early 2006 to allow the next phase of the project to proceed under state supervision.

[4] A 2002 change in environmental laws gave the city and developers immunity from the costs of remediating the site.

Such associated costs had earlier stymied redevelopment of the planned 1,600-acre site for public use under the state's brownfield cleanup program.

[6] Brownfields are the remains of accumulated low-level toxic waste, which developed around factory operations.

[4] Norman Polanski, then mayor of Lackawanna, New York and a former worker at Bethlehem Steel, has supported this project.

[8] Operation and maintenance services will be provided by Clipper Windpower, the manufacturer of the turbines, for the first five years.

[13] The project consists of 14 Clipper Windpower 2.5-MW Liberty series wind turbines, which represents the latest technology in the largest commercially viable form.

Grid integration is achieved through power factor regulation technology with ride-through capability.
