Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act BLM CO Grape Creek Abandoned Mine Land Closure in Colorado funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: RECOVERY ACT BLMCO NOI10 1607) was a Department of the Interior grant announcement administered through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Its purpose was straightforward: to support mine closure and/or remediation work at an abandoned mine land site associated with Grape Creek in Colorado. In practical terms, the project focus was on environmental cleanup and risk reduction activities typical of abandoned mine land closure efforts, which can include physically securing hazardous openings, stabilizing disturbed ground, addressing contamination pathways, and taking steps to reduce ongoing impacts to surrounding land and water resources.
The award was offered as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the federal agency typically expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than acting only as a passive funder. The opportunity fell under the Recovery Act funding activity category and was tied to CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management), signaling that the central goals were environmental protection, remediation, and responsible land and resource management. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. No cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, described as open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants should review any clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement text under the section titled "Additional Information on Eligibility." Applications were to be submitted through Grants.gov, which was the required portal for receipt of proposals. The timeline for the competition was short and clearly defined: it was posted on November 4, 2009 (Creation/Posted Date: Nov 4, 2009) and closed on November 30, 2009 (Original and Current Closing Date: Nov 30, 2009). The opportunity was later archived on December 31, 2009, indicating it was no longer active after that date.
