About this file

This document provides details on a federal grant opportunity from the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative Mine Waste Cooperative Agreements program for Fiscal Year 2024. State geological surveys are invited to submit proposals for activities focusing on mine waste inventory, characterization, data compilation and acquisition, sampling and mapping efforts. Approximately $5 million is available to support these cooperative agreements through September 2024. Projects should facilitate new geological and geochemical mapping, geophysical data collection and mine waste research. The primary federal agency is the United States Geological Survey within the Department of the Interior. The associated federal grant program is the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative under CFDA number 15.073, which aims to advance new mapping, data gathering and mine waste studies. Eligible applicant types are state governments.

Figure 2. Schematic illustration, not to any scale, showing the relationships between a site and mine features. The site is the cluster of features. As drawn, the site contains six features: one adit, one mine dump, one open pit, one ore stockpile, one tailings – undifferentiated, and one tailings – pond. Only the four mine waste features (i.e., one mine dump, one ore stockpile, one tailings – undifferentiated, and one tailings – pond) would be entered into the mine waste database. Each of those features would have their own point and polygon feature class records, as well as their associated records in the reference and resources tables. If the geology in the open pit and underground workings is similar, the geology records can be populated at the site level, and only one record is needed that documents the geology for all four mine waste features.
