The Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement awarded a $10,652,000 Formula Grant to the Alabama Department of Labor, doing business as Workers Compensation, under the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Reclamation Program (CFDA 15.252). The purpose of this 5-year grant is to reclaim abandoned mine lands in Alabama and support related economic and community development initiatives. Key activities include the abatement of priority 1, 2, and 3 AML features, treatment of acid mine drainage, and provision of potable water to communities impacted by pre-law mining. The grant aims to eliminate safety hazards, abate environmental issues, and return remediated sites to productive uses that can support economic development, outdoor recreation, reforestation, and other community benefits. While no sub-award details are provided, the grant encourages the Alabama Department of Labor to collaborate with local economic and community development groups to achieve the program's goals.
