Opportunity Summary:
The "Recovery Act Lander County Post Mining Site Utilization for Renewable Energy Study" grant notice (Funding Opportunity Number BLM NV NOI 10 1939) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior announcement explaining the agency's intent to fund a single, specific project using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) dollars. It is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public notice that BLM plans to move forward with funding the described work without full and open competition. The overall purpose is to support a joint effort between Lander County and the BLM to evaluate whether existing infrastructure at post-mining sites can be repurposed to support renewable energy development and related long-term economic benefits.
The proposed study focuses on determining the feasibility and practicality of using what is already in place at former mining operations for renewable resource needs. That includes examining how much existing infrastructure could remain useful and sustainable if renewable energy technologies were deployed at or near these sites. Examples of infrastructure the study would consider include buildings and site facilities, as well as utility systems such as water, sewer, and power delivery. A key part of the work is also tied to compliance and planning requirements, specifically how National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) considerations would apply, and how such requirements might have been addressed if renewable-energy reuse had been incorporated into the original mine analysis and planning documents.
From a policy and economic standpoint, the notice frames the project as aligned with ARRA goals: advancing technology, making strategic use of existing assets, and investing in new approaches that can produce durable, long-term economic value. The core idea is that post-mining landscapes often have roads, pads, transmission proximity, structures, and utility connections that could reduce the cost and time needed to stand up renewable energy projects, compared with starting from scratch on undeveloped land. The study is meant to generate the information needed to judge whether that potential is real, what limitations exist, and what steps would be required to make reuse viable in a legally compliant and environmentally responsible way.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and would be issued through a cooperative agreement, indicating an arrangement where the federal agency typically has substantial involvement in the project. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification "RECOVERY ACT," and the CFDA program is 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). The notice anticipated one award with total funding of $98,000, with an award floor of $98,000, and it specified no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the eligibility field is marked as unrestricted, the notice makes clear this is an intent-to-fund announcement rather than an open competition.
Key dates in the posting show it was published on March 1, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 10, 2010, and an archive date of April 10, 2010. For access issues or further information, the contact listed is Susan Kaller, Grants Management Officer, reachable at skaller@blm.gov, and the general reference point for the full announcement was Grants.gov.
