Opportunity Summary:
The Utah Statewide Abandoned Mine Reclamation Project (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00134) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary cooperative agreement intended to continue an existing partnership with the State of Utah focused on reclaiming abandoned mine lands (AML) and addressing hazards left behind by historical mining activities. The announcement makes clear that this is not a brand-new program, but a continuation of Cooperative Agreement No. JSA071003, which was set to expire on December 31, 2012. By extending and continuing that agreement, BLM and Utah's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program (AMRP) can keep pooling staff time, expertise, and limited resources so they can complete more reclamation work than either agency could realistically accomplish alone.
The core purpose of the project is to reduce risks and impacts associated with abandoned mine sites on public lands in Utah. The work is framed around two main categories of problems created by past mining: physical safety hazards and environmental hazards. Physical safety hazards typically include dangerous open shafts, adits, unstable highwalls, collapsing structures, and other conditions that can injure or kill members of the public, recreationists, or wildlife. Environmental hazards can involve contaminated soils, mine waste, tailings, and drainage or runoff that can degrade water quality or harm surrounding ecosystems. A key point in the description is that the State's authority is limited to addressing physical safety hazards at abandoned mine sites, while BLM has authority to address both physical and environmental hazards. The cooperative agreement structure is therefore important because it allows the two parties to work in a coordinated way so that safety and environmental needs can be handled comprehensively rather than in a piecemeal fashion.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally implies substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during the project rather than a simple pass-through grant. The eligible applicant pool is limited to state governments, aligning with the fact that the work is intended to be carried out in partnership with Utah's statewide AML program rather than by local governments, nonprofits, or private entities. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is designed as a continuation award to a state partner rather than a competitive multi-recipient funding round.
Funding details in the notice list an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000, while the award floor and ceiling are both shown as $1,090,600, indicating the specific award amount for this particular continuation action. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award under the terms described in the synopsis.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on June 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2012, and an archive date of September 30, 2012. Anyone seeking the full announcement was directed to Grants.gov (with an additional information link provided in the synopsis). For access issues or questions tied to the formal announcement, the listed point of contact was Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer at BLM, with phone number 801-539-4178 and email contacts mariagochis@blm.gov and mgochis@blm.gov.
