The cache is a medium sized lock and lock container placed across the street and just off a trail from the Oliver Street Solar Project
This old Easthampton landfill was capped 18 years ago. it's not only the home of thousands of solar panels but also a renewable energy project that's the first of its kind in Massachusetts. 9,600 solar panels sit two feet above a geo-membrane that encapsulates the 12-acre landfill. The transforming of this dump into a source of renewable energy is putting Easthampton in the forefront of clean energy development.The 2.2 megawatts produced by these panels is enough to power 600 homes. But the panels are connected to the city's grid and instead power street lights and municipal buildings.
