Pension administration in the United States is the act of performing various types of yearly service on an organizational retirement plan, such as a 401(k), profit sharing plan, defined benefit plan, or cash balance plan.
 Increasingly these plan types are also being implemented in combination arrangements for greater contribution potential, such as the pairing of a cash balance plan with some variety of 401(k).
 The basic purpose of Pension Administration is to ensure that an organizational retirement plan does not discriminate against the lower level employees while also ensuring that the plan is not used as an abusive tax shelter.
 Stress tests include the average benefits test, Average Deferral Percentage, and minimum coverage.
 Yearly pension administration work involves filing a Form 5500 with the Internal Revenue Service.
 There are several professional designations available to those who perform this work, such as those offered by the National Institute of Pension Administrators and the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries.
 Pension Administration firms more often than not rely on financial brokers (or financial advisors) for their business prospects, although they do have other referral sources.
 Some pension administration firms carry out the financial advisory work within an internal unit of their own company, as well as accepting referrals from an independent broker network.
 Examples of firms with which these brokers are associated are Raymond James, Edward Jones Investments and Morgan Stanley.
 The brokers may be employees of these firms or independent contractors.
 The plan assets of the organizational retirement plans in question sometimes reside on a trading platform controlled by the administration firm.
 But more often than not the assets are held by large financial institutions who provide a variety of investment options for plan participants.
 Examples of large firms in this market space are Principal Financial Group, John Hancock Insurance, ING Group and Mass Mutual, although there are many others.
 Plans which contain over one-hundred participants must perform an independent audit each year, necessitating yearly coordination with representatives of a public accounting firm.
 In cases where a defined benefit plan is being managed the pension administration firm must employ an actuary to certify the plan's present and future benefit liabilities and compliance with minimum funding standards set by the IRS.
 Pension administration firms with a large block of defined benefit plans often employ an actuary directly.
 But they may also retain the actuary as an independent contractor, and this is almost certain to be the arrangement in cases where the pension administration firm only works on a small collection of defined benefit plans.
 The actuary completes contribution calculations for the plan and provides a Schedule SB so that the yearly Form 5500 may be completed.
 Without this Schedule the yearly filing for a defined benefit plan would be incomplete.
 In addition to the Internal Revenue Service, organizational retirement plan operation and maintenance falls under the regulation of the United States Department of Labor.
The flag of the Green Mountain Boys began as a regimental flag used by the Green Mountain Boys.
 A remnant of a Green Mountain Boys flag, believed to belong to John Stark, is owned by the Bennington Museum.
 It still exists as one of the few regimental flags from the American Revolution.
 Although Stark was at the Battle of Bennington and likely flew this flag, the battle has become more commonly associated with the Bennington flag, which is believed to be a 19th-century banner.
The Green Mountain Wind Energy Center was a wind power plant near Garrett, Somerset County, Pennsylvania with eight Nordex 1.3 MW turbines that began commercial operation in May 2000.
 This was the first commercial wind farm constructed in Pennsylvania.
 The wind farm had a combined total nameplate capacity of 10.4 MW and the potential to produce about 27,000 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to power 3,300 homes, assuming a 30% capacity factor.
 The wind farm was developed by National Wind Power of the UK, now part of NPower Renewables, operated by NextEra Energy Resources, based in Florida.
 Energy from the wind farm was purchased and sold by Green Mountain Energy based in Texas, and was the first commercial wind farm for Green Mountain Energy.
 In 2016 the wind farm was dismantled and replaced with new battery technology.
Green Mountain Reservoir lies at the northern end of Summit County, Colorado along the Blue River.
 The Green Mountain Dam was built between 1938 and 1942 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation.
 The reservoir and its dam store water to benefit Colorado's Western Slope.
 Created by President Roosevelt as part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project in 1937, Green Mountain was the first facility to be constructed.
 This is because it represents a great compromise that made the C-BT project possible: it compensates the Western Slope for water diverted to cities in Northern Colorado from Granby Reservoir further upstream on the Colorado River.
 Water from Green Mountain Dam is released either over the spillway, through the dam, or through the hydroelectric powerplant at the dam's base.
 The Green Mountain Power Plant has the capacity to generate up to 21,000 kilowatts, using two generators.
 Combined with the other five Federal power plants on the C-BT, enough electricity is produced annually to power almost 60,000 American homes.
