Grant Description: A. Project Background Information: This project is established for the purpose of reclaiming abandoned mine sites of Public Lands. The recipient must have the authority to reclaim and restore land and water resources on mined lands or lands affected by mining and left in an unreclaimed or inadequately reclaimed condition, for which there is no continuing reclamation responsibility within the state of Wyoming. The BLM is responsible for managing the use of federal Public Lands (P.L.), ensuring the health and safety of the public on Public Lands, and further, has an interest in the health and reclamation of the these lands. The tasks will vary from project to project depending on the priorities established by the recipient and BLM, and may include: 1) the investigation of site reclamation needs; 2) developing alternatives to address environmental and physical safety hazards; 3) performing necessary clearances, 4) development of engineering and design criteria for site reclamation; and, 5) issuance and oversight of reclamation construction contracts for the abandone mine land sites on Public Lands as agreed to by BLM and the recipient. B. Project Objective: This Agreement will involve the recipient implementing reclamation construction at multiple mine sites requiring multiple years to complete. The recipient will remediate eligible and prioritized human safety risks and environmental impacts associated with selected mine sites and will address, in consultation with BLM (e.g., as identified in pre-design/on-site meetings), reclamation of other features associated with these sites as such features relate to the scope of this agreement and to BLM priorities on BLM land. C. Period of Agreement: 5 years
