Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) monitoring/maintenance and safety reclamation/closures within the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Southwest District in Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00229), is a discretionary federal grant offered by the Bureau of Land Management. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to stay actively involved during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity sits under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management.
The core purpose is practical and risk-focused: to work jointly with the recipient to identify abandoned mine land sites and ensure they are monitored and maintained, and where needed, closed or reclaimed. The emphasis is on reducing hazards to people and preventing exposure to contamination. The announcement also notes the possibility of unknown sites being discovered, so the work is not limited to a fixed list of mines; it anticipates field discovery and follow-up actions when previously undocumented hazards are found.
Only state governments were eligible to apply. The program anticipated a single award, suggesting a targeted project or a centralized effort rather than multiple smaller grants. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $90,000 total, with an award ceiling of $90,000 and an award floor of $1,500. In practice, that sets a maximum project size at the $90,000 level, while allowing for smaller scoped proposals if appropriate. The posting timeline indicates it was posted on August 27, 2013, with a creation date of September 11, 2013. The original closing date was September 6, 2013, later extended to September 13, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on October 7, 2013.
For applicants needing the full instructions and application package, the announcement directed users to the "Application" tab in the listing. The listed point of contact for access issues was Ruth A. Raisanen at BLM, reachable at 303-239-3605 or rraisane@blm.gov.
