Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act Zortman/Landusky Mine Wind Turbine for Power Generation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: RECOVERY ACT BLM MT NOI10 1259) was a U.S. Department of the Interior discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support environmental protection and resource management work in Montana. The central purpose was to provide technical assistance and up to $3,000,000 in funding to build a wind turbine and related water treatment facilities associated with the Zortman and Landusky mine sites. The project focus was protecting water quality at the mines and safeguarding downstream and neighboring lands, including the adjacent Fort Belknap Reservation as well as surrounding private and public lands that could be affected by mine-related water issues.
A key element of the project was the integration of wind power into the site’s environmental management needs, with the wind turbine intended to support power generation that could help operate water treatment and related infrastructure. By strengthening or expanding treatment capacity and supporting ongoing water quality protection activities, the opportunity aimed to reduce environmental risk and improve long-term stewardship outcomes tied to historic mining impacts. The funding was framed not only as an environmental investment but also as an economic one, explicitly intended to create jobs and help retain existing jobs in an underemployed region of Montana, consistent with Recovery Act goals.
Administratively, the opportunity was listed under CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). It anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling equal to the estimated total funding of $3,000,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The notice was posted and created on December 17, 2009, with an application deadline of January 19, 2010, and it was later archived on March 1, 2010.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement online, the listed point of contact was Lori J. Anderson, Grants Management Officer (landerso@blm.gov), with the general reference link directing users to www.grants.gov for full details and application materials.
