Opportunity Summary:
The RECOVERY ACT BLM WY Abandoned Mine Site Reclamation and Hazardous Mine Features opportunity is a Department of the Interior grant announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Office, focused on public safety and environmental protection work at abandoned mine sites in Wyoming. The project’s purpose is to reduce hazards associated with abandoned mine features by remediating dangerous openings and related safety concerns. In practical terms, the scope described is the remediation of hazardous safety features at 32 abandoned mine openings across 15 different sites statewide, using Recovery Act funding to address risks that can threaten visitors, nearby communities, wildlife, and land management operations.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project’s execution, coordination, or oversight compared to a standard grant. The BLM states it intends to make a single award, and the notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to award to one specific recipient: the State of Wyoming, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Abandoned Mine Lands Division. As a result, eligibility is limited to state government applicants, with the eligibility language making clear that the intended recipient is Wyoming DEQ rather than an open competition among multiple applicant types.
Funding for the effort is estimated at $1,250,000 in total and does not require cost sharing or matching contributions. The funding is associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), identified under ARRA Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) 14 1112, and categorized under the Recovery Act funding activity area. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing tied to the announcement is 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, aligning the work with federal environmental quality and resource management goals while emphasizing hazard mitigation at legacy mine sites.
The anticipated project period is two years, reflecting the time expected to plan, prioritize, and complete remediation work across multiple locations. While the announcement text does not list specific engineering methods, abandoned mine opening remediation commonly involves actions such as installing closures or gates, backfilling or sealing openings, fencing, posting warnings, stabilizing ground around openings, and other measures meant to prevent accidental entry, falls, or collapse-related incidents. The emphasis in the description is on addressing hazardous safety features rather than broader mine cleanup, suggesting the primary outcomes are risk reduction and public safety improvements.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number RECOVERY ACT BLM WY NOI10 9901, with the opportunity posted and created on December 15, 2009. The original and current closing date is December 28, 2009, and the archive date is February 1, 2010, indicating the window for any related submission activity was short and the announcement is now historical/archived. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the Notice of Intent format and the named recipient.
