Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act BLM CO Kankakee Hills Project - Rosita Mining District grant opportunity was a one-time, Recovery Act-funded cooperative agreement administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The project focus was mine closure and remediation work in the Rosita Mining District, specifically connected to the Kankakee Hills area in Colorado. In practical terms, the work supported by this opportunity would typically involve actions to reduce or eliminate public safety hazards and environmental impacts from legacy mining sites, such as securing or closing abandoned mine openings, stabilizing disturbed ground, addressing contaminated materials where present, and implementing measures intended to prevent future degradation of land and water resources.
This funding opportunity was issued as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expected to be substantially involved in the project during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity fell under CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection - Resource Management, which aligns with cleanup, restoration, and protection activities on public lands and related resources. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant (such as local governments, tribes, nonprofits, academic institutions, or private entities), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement text. Applications were to be submitted through Grants.gov, indicating a standard federal electronic application process.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and fixed, consistent with many Recovery Act-era announcements. It was posted on September 10, 2009, with a creation date of September 14, 2009. The original and current closing date were both September 21, 2009, and the opportunity was later archived on October 21, 2009. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Yvonne Pier at yvonnepier@blm.gov.
