Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement titled "Reclamation and Management of Placer Mining Areas" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00119) focused on natural resources and environmental quality/resource management along the Arkansas River. The purpose of the agreement was to carry out mutually agreed-upon mitigation measures to address the existing cumulative environmental impacts associated with small placer mining activities in the area. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at supporting reclamation and management work that reduces or remedies the combined, long-term effects of many small mining disturbances, rather than targeting a single isolated site impact.

The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on planning, technical direction, monitoring approaches, and agreeing on mitigation actions and priorities as the work progressed. The opportunity anticipated one award, indicating a single recipient or lead partner would likely coordinate the effort, potentially working with other local stakeholders as needed. The total estimated funding available was $12,500, with an award ceiling of $12,500 and an award floor of $3,125. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be eligible, although applicants sometimes still contribute in-kind support depending on the project design.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. The assistance listing referenced CFDA number 15.236, associated with environmental quality and protection resource management. Key dates show the notice was posted June 2, 2010, with an original closing date of June 16, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of July 2, 2010. The opportunity was archived on August 9, 2010, reflecting that it is no longer active.

For applicants or interested parties needing the official announcement details, BLM directed users to Grants.gov (link provided in the notice) and listed a point of contact for access issues: Yvonne Pier at yvonnepier@blm.gov.
