Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "FA BLM AZ Abandoned Mine Inventory and Safety Program" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00201) was a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was issued as a cooperative agreement under an environmental program area focused on environmental quality, protection, and resource management (CFDA 15.236). The core purpose of the award was to support the inventory of abandoned mine sites in Arizona, which generally involves locating abandoned mine features, documenting their condition, and compiling consistent source data that can be used to prioritize safety actions and other risk-reduction work.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total program funding amount of up to $1,500,000. The award ceiling was $1,500,000 and the award floor was listed as $1, indicating the program could technically fund smaller efforts, though the structure suggests BLM expected one primary statewide inventory effort. No cost sharing or matching requirement was stated, meaning eligible applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating the program was intended for an Arizona state-level entity or agency positioned to carry out a statewide mine inventory effort, potentially in coordination with BLM field offices and other partners. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), recipients should have expected substantial federal involvement, such as coordination on methods, data standards, access considerations, reporting, prioritization frameworks, or integration of the inventory results into BLM management and public safety planning.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2012. It was archived on August 31, 2012. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time of posting, and applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Paul Stout, Grants Management Specialist at BLM, by phone at 602-417-9268 or by email at pstout@blm.gov.
