The OSMRE Mine Drainage Technology Initiative (MDTI) is a grant program from the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE). This initiative specifically supports the development and implementation of advanced technological solutions addressing complex issues associated with mine drainage. Its core purpose is to foster innovation in mitigating environmental impacts, improving water quality in mining-affected areas, and enhancing land reclamation efforts. Projects funded through the MDTI are expected to contribute significantly to the remediation and sustainable management of mining-impacted sites, potentially including new treatment processes, monitoring systems, or waste management techniques. The program seeks to empower experts and organizations to bring forth cutting-edge solutions for a more environmentally responsible future. The application closing date is September 25, 2023.
