Description

Activities
State/tribal AML programs, in consultation with state/tribal, local economic, and community development authorities, must develop eligible projects that demonstrate a nexus with AML land and water reclamation, and economic and community development. The AML pilot program is an opportunity for local communities and states/tribes to return impacted areas to productive reuse, which should be defined by the states/tribes in cooperation with local communities, to achieve the economic and community development goals identified for the community and/or region.expected deliverables or outcomes: abatement of AML P1, P2 and P3 features and treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD), as well as providing potable water to communities with degraded drinking water supplies due to pre-law mining, results in overall improvement to the quality of life for citizens living in coalfield communities. The primary long-term benefit of AML reclamation activities in general is the permanent elimination of documented human health and safety hazards and the abatement of environmental problems which resulted from the past mining of coal. Long-term benefits also include improvements in aesthetics, topography, hydrology, and land use. Projects will specifically target the benefits to the local community and economic development which may result from the AML restored areas that can be put into productive uses for outdoor recreation; reforestation/carbon sequestration; farming or livestock; or can be developed for commercial or industrial purposes.
Intended beneficiaries
Environmental restoration and AMD treatment improve property values and quality of life which, in turn, improve population retention, job retention, hunting/fishing/tourism and many other opportunities to improve the local economy.subrecipient activities (if known or specified at time of award): n/a
