Facilitating Deployment of Community Solar PV systems on Rooftops and Vacant Land in Northeast IL - Final Report

Technical Report Stone, Deborah; Oakleaf, Laura

The Cook County Community Solar project set out to unlock the potential of community solar in the Chicago region with lessons that could be applied nationally. One of the first steps was to prove out the potential market. This was done through an opportunity assessment which showed there is over 9,000 megawatts worth of site capacity available for community solar projects in Cook County – nearly enough to offset all of Cook County’s residential electricity use. The assessment also showed that almost 75% of Cook County households are not able to invest directly in solar photovoltaic systems due to amore »« less

Preliminary environmental assessment of the contamination associated with Lake Calumet, Cook County, Illinois

Technical Report Ross, P; Henebry, M; Risatti, J; ...

This report details the results of a multidisciplinary study to determine the level of contamination of Lake Calumet in Cook County, Illinois. The study was initiated to evaluate the physical, chemical and biological processes that influence the environmental quality of the lake and the surrounding area and to predict the ecological effects of the contamination associated with lake sediments. Some principal findings of the study include: (1) concentrations of toxic metals are above background levels and higher in the lake than in nearby water bodies; (2) all sediment-sampling stations produced toxic responses in single-species bioassays, with over half the stationsmore »« less
Meeting the growing demand for water: An evaluation of the shallow ground-water resources in will and southern Cook Counties, Illinois. Research report

Technical Report Roadcap, G; Cravens, S; Smith, E

The study evaluates the heavily used shallow aquifer system in Will and southern Cook Counties and ascertains its ability to meet the present and future water supply needs of the communities it serves. The hydrogeologic evaluation involves an examination of existing data to determine the aquifer's geologic and hydraulic properties as well as the amount of water withdrawn from the aquifer. New data are used to determine ground-water flow directions, existing aquifer recharge rates, potential yield of the aquifer, and general ground-water quality.
Environmental review for Site A/Plot M, Palos Forest Preserve, Cook County, Illinois

Technical Report Biang, R; Yuen, C; Avci, H; ...

This report is an environmental review of two sites known as Site A and Plot M, which are located in the Palos Forest Preserve of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, approximately 20 mi southwest of downtown Chicago and about 3 mi east of the current site of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). An enlarged map of the area around the sites is shown in a figure. Site A covers about 19 acres, and Plot M covers about 1 acre. This document consists of the following sections: a review of the site history and environment, a description of the conceptualmore »« less

Evaluating the Impact of Residential Solar Contract Cancellations in the United States

Technical Report Cruce, Jesse; O'Shaughnessy, Eric; Cook, Jeffrey

The residential solar photovoltaic (PV) market in the United States has grown rapidly in the last decade, from less than 50,000 systems installed in 2010 to over 420,000 systems in 2020 (Davis et al., 2021). The process for installing residential PV systems includes distinct phases and costs for customer acquisition, contract negotiation and signing, system design, and permitting and interconnection applications to the local city or county and utility. Most customers who sign contracts successfully install PV systems (Cook et al., 2021; Liao, 2020); however, some customers instead choose to terminate or cancel their contracts prior to install. These contractmore »« less
