Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO GUFO Hough Mine Drilling and Characterization Project (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00124) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support environmental investigation work at the Hough Mine. The core purpose of the project was to drill into mine waste and rock tailings at the site and characterize what is present in those tailings, specifically to determine how much deleterious, contamination-generating material exists and therefore how much material would need to be reclaimed. The larger environmental goal behind the drilling and characterization work was to reduce or eliminate ongoing releases of toxic metals from the mine waste into surrounding watersheds and adjacent public lands, helping protect water quality and downstream resources.
The opportunity was categorized under the Consumer Protection funding activity area and tied to CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). It anticipated a single award, indicating BLM likely intended to fund one lead organization to carry out the investigation and deliver the technical data needed for reclamation planning. The estimated total funding available was $80,000, with an award ceiling of $80,000 and an award floor of $20,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which meant applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement on Grants.gov. Key dates show it was posted and created on June 9, 2010, with an original and final closing date of June 23, 2010, and it was archived on July 9, 2010. In practical terms, this was a short application window geared toward quickly selecting a partner to perform site drilling and sampling so BLM could quantify contamination-related reclamation needs and take steps to prevent continued discharge of toxic metals into the environment.
