Opportunity Summary:
The Zortman/Landusky Water Treatment and Reclamation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00136) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program focused on addressing environmental impacts from the abandoned Zortman and Landusky mine sites. The central purpose of the opportunity was twofold: first, to treat contaminated water associated with these abandoned mine areas, and second, to support studies and related efforts that could improve or refine water treatment methods and other reclamation activities at the sites. In practical terms, the funding was aimed at reducing ongoing pollution and strengthening the technical approach to long-term cleanup, including evaluating treatment performance and identifying enhancements that could make reclamation more effective over time.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awarding agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was associated with CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management. The estimated total funding amount listed was $5,000,000, with an individual award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $2,500. The announcement anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so eligible applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating the program was structured for state-level agencies or entities to take the lead on implementation in coordination with BLM. Key dates show the funding opportunity was posted and created on June 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 24, 2011, and an archive date of August 1, 2011. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice.
