Opportunity Summary:

The Abandoned Mine Lands in New Mexico grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM NM NOI 10 1598) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior to support work under the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Program. The program is focused on disaster prevention and relief in the practical sense of reducing serious public safety and environmental risks created by legacy mine sites. The central goal is to protect public health and safety by safeguarding and/or permanently remediating environmental and physical hazards associated with abandoned mine lands on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands and on mixed-ownership lands across New Mexico.

The funded work is meant to cover the full lifecycle of AML hazard abatement, not just field construction. The recipient is expected to be capable of identifying AML sites statewide, planning and designing closures or remediation actions, completing required resource clearances, contracting for closure work, and overseeing projects through completion. In other words, the award anticipates a partner that can manage technical assessment, compliance steps, procurement/contract administration, and on-the-ground supervision to ensure remediation is done correctly and safely.

Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the notice specifically references the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, Abandoned Mine Lands Division as the intended recipient through a Notice of Intent. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $325,000. The award ceiling is also $325,000, with a stated award floor of $1. No cost sharing or matching is required, which means the recipient is not obligated to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on November 23, 2009, created on December 21, 2009, with an original closing date of December 21, 2009 and a current closing date of January 8, 2010. The archive date is listed as February 1, 2010. The CFDA number is 15.236, categorized under Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, which aligns with the program emphasis on addressing environmental and physical hazards from abandoned mines while improving land and community safety outcomes.

Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov. For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed point of contact is Janet Y. Huff (jhuff@blm.gov) at the Bureau of Land Management.
