Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Abandoned Mine Lands Reclamation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00193) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource and environmental protection work in Wyoming. The purpose of the award is to support on-the-ground reclamation at selected abandoned mine sites, specifically targeting mine-related hazards that pose human safety risks and mine-related environmental impacts. In practical terms, the project is intended to identify eligible and prioritized mine locations and then carry out remediation actions that reduce or eliminate dangers such as unsafe openings, unstable ground, and other physical hazards, while also addressing environmental problems commonly associated with abandoned mining areas.
The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The announcement anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,250,000. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor, which typically means the specific award amount and structure would be driven by the submitted proposal, final scope, and negotiated budget under the cooperative agreement. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered eligible.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to state governments. The program is tied to CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, reflecting the environmental management and remediation nature of the work. The original posting date was June 23, 2015, with an original closing date of August 22, 2015, later extended to a current closing date of November 30, 2015. The archive date is listed as December 10, 2015, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and is provided for reference and recordkeeping.
Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the opportunitys application materials (referenced through the application tab in the original posting). For assistance accessing the complete announcement, the listed point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at the BLM, reachable by phone at 307-775-6313 or by email at rtichac@blm.gov.
