The Environmental Department is offering this grant to empower local organizations, especially watershed groups, to initiate tangible construction efforts aimed at reclaiming streams severely impacted by acid mine drainage (AMD). This crucial funding is designated for the restoration of lands and waters that were mined for coal or otherwise affected by coal mining operations, wastebanks, or processing activities. To be eligible, the mining impact must have occurred prior to 1977, and there must be no existing or continuing reclamation responsibility mandated by State or other Federal laws. This grant is for the vital purpose of rehabilitating long-neglected water systems, fostering ecological recovery, and enhancing community environmental health by addressing historical mining legacies.
