About this file
This is an Authorization to Proceed (ATP) letter from the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), a division of the United States Department of the Interior, to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) Office of Abandoned Mine Lands and Reclamation dated November 19, 2024. The letter authorizes the WVDEP to proceed with the Weston (Curtis) Landslide (WV-7043) abandoned mine lands reclamation project. The authorization confirms that the project has met three critical compliance requirements: entry into the enhanced Abandoned Mine Land Inventory System (e-AMLIS) prior to construction in accordance with Directive AML-1, completion of environmental documentation including National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance with a signed Finding of No Significant Impact issued by OSMRE on November 19, 2024, and submission of an AML eligibility statement with documented basis for AML eligibility. The ATP grants the WVDEP authority to expend Federal funds in accordance with AML grant terms and conditions.
The letter notes that if the project provides funding to subrecipients through subawards, such subrecipients must receive separate OSMRE approval either through the initial award application or through an independent request process. No pricing terms, budget amounts, contract duration, or other financial details are specified in this authorization letter, as it serves solely to grant approval to proceed with a previously awarded and approved Federal reclamation project.

Dear Mr. Parsons:
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) has determined that the Weston (Curtis) Landslide (WV-7043) abandoned mine lands reclamation project has met the following criteria:
1. The project has been entered into the enhanced Abandoned Mine Land Inventory System (e-AMLIS) prior to construction activities, in compliance with Directive AML-1.
2. Environmental documents, including compliance information for the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and other environmental requirements, have been documented with a Finding of No Significant Impact, signed by OSMRE on November 19, 2024.
3. The Authorization to Proceed (ATP) request included an AML eligibility statement and basis for documenting AML eligibility.
Accordingly, pursuant to 30 CFR 886.16, you are authorized to proceed with this project and expend Federal funds in accordance with AML grant terms and conditions. If this project provides funding to a subrecipient through a subaward, the subrecipient must be approved by OSMRE separately from this ATP. OSMRE subrecipient approval can be requested either through the initial award application or through a separate request.
Please contact us should you have any questions.
Sincerely, Justin Adams, Director Charleston Field Office
