STATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS / 3 3.0 State Cooperative Programs 3.1 State-Coupled Program In 1977, DOE founded the State-Coupled Program to provide support to state agencies, national laboratories, and university earth-science groups in 26 states with known geothermal potential. The objectives of the State-Coupled Program were: 1) to fund the compilation and verification of existing geothermal information and collect new data on geothermal resource locations, depths, temperatures, and heat flow; and 2) to foster the development of state-level expertise in agencies and universities that could in turn provide technical assistance to potential developers. The State-Coupled Program’s ultimate goal was to promote private-sector development of geothermal resources by making information and technical resources widely available in the states. Gruy Federal (GRUY-Arlington, VA) coordinated the activities of eight eastern and southeastern states. LANL coordinated the Arizona and New Mexico state programs. The remaining 16 western state programs were coordinated and supported by the geothermal group at UURI. In addition, UURI provided technical and contract support services to all state resource teams, hosted annual technical and coordination meetings, and provided geophysical, geochemical, and geologic services. UURI also facilitated cooperation between the states, the USGS, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Data compiled under this program was submitted to the USGS for inclusion in the national geothermal resource database (GEOTHERM) and used in a new assessment of the low-temperature geothermal resource base. 30 In addition, each state prepared information that was converted by NOAA into state geothermal resource maps. NOAA’s map-making facilities were deemed to be state-of-the-art and the staff highly skilled. The State-Coupled Program produced a series of high-resolution, high-quality geothermal resource maps and more than 80 technical reports. 31 The maps have since been used by federal, state, and local government agencies in landuse planning as well as by private companies and individuals interested in geothermal energy use. Many of the participating states still maintain local geothermal expertise, which is used by potential developers.
