Additional Resources
The remaining ten of the 13 renewable energy mapping layers were compiled by Mountain Mapping from
local sources and local knowledge or extrapolated from existing Chaffee County mapping layers.
• Bio-diesel locations
• Local Produce Farms
• Solar or Wind Installers
• Excel cogen (combining heat and power) meters
• Sangre De Cristo cogen (combining heat and power) Meters
• Hydro Electric Locations
• Recycling Locations
• Local Government owned lands
• One-mile radius from geothermal source
• Two-mile radius from geothermal source
Small Hydroelectric
While potential hydroelectric resources were not included in GIS mapping, the GEO is currently funding feasibility studies for small hydroelectric power generation. Chaffee County’s mountain streams, Arkansas River locations, agricultural irrigation and municipal water supply systems offer potential sites for small-scale electrical power generation, and potential sites should be identified for study while funding is available through the GEO.
