Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Abandoned Mine Lands Support for San Luis Valley in Colorado" under Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00300. The purpose of the cooperative agreement was to support work in the BLM San Luis Valley Field Office boundaries focused on abandoned mine lands (AML). Specifically, the project intent was to validate and improve the BLM inventory of abandoned mine features and then carry out actions to safely close and/or remediate those features in order to reduce or eliminate physical safety hazards on public lands. In practical terms, the grant targeted on-the-ground efforts that help identify what mine openings and related features exist, confirm their conditions and locations, and address hazards through closure or remediation approaches appropriate to public safety and land management needs.
The opportunity fell under the Environment and Natural Resources funding activity category and was associated with CFDA number 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection - Resource Management). BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. The award ceiling was $250,000 and the award floor was $1,500. No cost sharing or matching was required, which means the applicant would not have been obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, indicating that BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordination on technical approaches, priorities, deliverables, safety standards, reporting, or field verification methods), as is typical for cooperative agreements compared with standard grants.
The opportunity was posted on August 4, 2014, with the original and current closing date both listed as August 22, 2014. The archive date was September 5, 2014, meaning it was no longer active after that point. Additional application details were provided through the announcement package accessible via the application materials, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Ruth A. Raisanen at BLM (phone 303-239-3605, email rraisane@blm.gov).
