This grant, offered under the Watershed Cooperative Agreement Program (WCAP), is dedicated to supporting not-for-profit organizations undertaking Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) reclamation projects. AMD, a significant environmental concern, involves the acidic outflow from mines that pollutes water bodies, harming aquatic life and ecosystems. The WCAP aims to mitigate these damages by funding initiatives that reclaim and restore watersheds affected by mining. Eligible projects focus on treating contaminated water, stabilizing waste rock, re-vegetating disturbed areas, and implementing long-term solutions to prevent future AMD. The program seeks to achieve substantial environmental benefits and restore impaired watersheds through cooperative efforts. Applications are managed by the Grants Management Officer, with a historical closing date of September 7, 2021.
