Opportunity Summary:
The Upper Animas Mine Operations and Maintenance project within the State of Colorado (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00186) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity focused on ongoing operations and maintenance work tied to environmental protection measures in the Upper Animas mining area. The core purpose is straightforward: once environmental improvements and water-quality protection features have been installed, this funding supports the continued upkeep needed to keep those improvements working as intended over time. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at preserving the long-term performance of remediation and protection infrastructure so that earlier investments in cleanup and water-quality safeguards continue delivering benefits rather than degrading due to lack of maintenance.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared to a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it aligns with CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management. The opportunity anticipated a single award, indicating a targeted project scope rather than a broad competitive pool of multiple awards.
Funding details show an estimated total of $99,000, with an award ceiling of $99,000 and an award floor of $900. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so eligible applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, meaning the funding was intended to be administered through a Colorado state entity (or another state government applicant, depending on the precise eligibility interpretation in the full announcement), rather than local governments, nonprofits, tribes, universities, or private entities.
The timeline for the announcement is also clearly defined. It was posted and created on July 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 30, 2010, and it was archived on August 31, 2010. That indicates it was a time-limited solicitation with a short application window, consistent with a focused maintenance need or a planned continuation of work tied to previously installed environmental controls.
