The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded a $135,608 Cooperative Agreement under the Experienced Services Program (CFDA 15.016) to National Experienced Workforce Solutions Inc. (NEW Solutions), a non-profit organization. The agreement is effective from October 1, 2023 to May 3, 2027.

Key deliverables include conducting five onsite reclamation project visits per week and carrying out onsite inspections with operators when BLM biologists or natural resource specialists are unavailable.
