OSM Seal Abandoned Mine Land Grants: 2004
Toolbar3.gif
Title IV of the Surface Mining Law -- the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Program -- provides for the restoration of lands mined and abandoned or left inadequately restored before August 3, 1977. Implementation is accomplished through an Emergency Program (for problems having a sudden danger that presents a high probability of substantial harm to the health, safety, or general welfare of people before the danger can be abated under normal program operating procedures) and a non-emergency program. States and tribes with approved programs carry out these responsibilities. Since 1979, when the states began receiving abandoned mine land administrative grants to operate their programs and construction grants to complete reclamation projects, through September 30, 2004, $3,579,356,901 was distributed from the fund. Grant obligation amounts for 2004 are shown below.

1. Funding for these grants is derived from the 2004 distribution and funds recovered or carried over from previous years. Downward adjustments of prior-year awards are not included in the totals.
2. These 10% set-aside amounts are for Acid Mine Drainage set-aside funding rather than future set-aside funding.
3. Included in this category are costs for program support (personnel, budgeting, procurement, etc.), Abandoned Mine Land inventory management, and program policy development. Indirect costs associated with the administration of the program may also be included.
4. The term "Project Costs" is now used instead of Construction. Abandoned Mine Land simplified grants do not contain specific construction cost breakouts, but rather list all costs associated with a construction project as a project cost. This category contains both non-water supplywater supply, and noncoal project costs and includes $6,628,644 in Appalachian Clean Streams Program funding.
5. This category contains emergency project, administrative and indirect costs.
