Opportunity Summary:

The "Recovery Act BLM CO Montrose County Uranium Mine Closure Project in Colorado" was a U.S. Department of the Interior funding opportunity issued under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act). The project focus was straightforward: work related to abandoned uranium mine closure and/or remediation in Montrose County, Colorado. In practical terms, this kind of effort typically involves addressing legacy mine features that may pose safety hazards (such as open shafts, adits, unstable highwalls, and waste piles) and environmental concerns (such as erosion, sediment movement, and potential contamination associated with historic uranium mining). The opportunity was categorized as "Other" rather than a traditional grant program category, and it was tied to federal environmental quality and protection and resource management objectives under CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management).

Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total of $60,000 and an expectation of making a single award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the applicant would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating that applications were open to any type of entity (for example, local governments, tribal entities, nonprofits, educational institutions, or private organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement materials. Applications were to be submitted through Grants.gov, consistent with standard federal application practices.

The timeline was brief, reflecting a typical Recovery Act push to obligate funds quickly. The opportunity was posted on December 2, 2009, with the application closing date set for December 23, 2009 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The listing was later archived on January 15, 2010. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement online, the provided point of contact was Yvonne Pier (yvonnepier@blm.gov), indicating that assistance was available for obtaining the full announcement or resolving access issues.

Overall, this was a short-deadline, single-award, Recovery Act-funded project aimed at completing a defined piece of abandoned uranium mine closure and/or remediation work in Montrose County, administered under the Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management context implied by the title and funding opportunity number.
