Opportunity Summary:
The BLM New Mexico Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00289) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement offered through a cooperative agreement. Its core goal is public health and safety: the program funds work to safeguard and/or permanently close hazardous abandoned mine land features located on BLM-managed lands and on mixed-ownership lands in New Mexico. The practical focus is reducing risks from old mine openings and related hazards that can injure or kill people, harm wildlife, and create environmental impacts. The announcement notes the scale of the problem statewide, estimating roughly 15,000 abandoned mine features in New Mexico that may pose threats to public safety and the environment, and frames the funding as support for the State of New Mexico's ongoing effort to address these hazards.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding level of $5,000,000, with an anticipated single award. Individual award amounts are described with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $445,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award. The program is categorized under the funding activity areas of Disaster Prevention and Relief and Environment, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management), which aligns with the grant's emphasis on preventing harm and addressing environmental and safety risks tied to abandoned mine sites.
While the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted" in general terms, the specific eligibility narrative clarifies that this notice of intent is directed to the New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department (NMEMNRD) to continue the AML program and ongoing projects. In other words, the announcement functions as a continuation-focused action aimed at the state department responsible for this work, rather than a broadly competitive solicitation intended for a wide range of applicants.
Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of August 28, 2014, with a posted/creation date of August 4, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014, indicating this was a time-limited funding action that has since closed. Applicants were instructed to use the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting to download the full announcement and application package. For technical access issues, the listed point of contact is Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 505-761-8941 and jhuff@blm.gov.
