AHMR State Grants Program

AHMR State Grants Program

Funding for Abandoned Hardrock Mine Reclamation (AHMR) on state and private lands will be distributed through a grant program managed by the Environmental Compliance and Cleanup Division (ECCD). The Department of the Interior will provide grants to reclaim those lands based on eligibility requirements established in Sec. 40704 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the AHMR Program. Grants are available to States to inventory, assess, decommission, reclaim, respond to hazardous substance releases on, and remediate hardrock (non-coal) abandoned mines. AHMR Grants are subject to funding availability.  

For Fiscal Year 2025, States may apply for AHMR Grants at GrantSolutions by searching opportunity number D-AQD-FA-25-005. The application period is open from Thursday December 12, 2024 at 11am MST to Friday March 14, 2025 at 4:00pm MST. Please direct any questions to the Hardrock AML Program Manager via email at AHMRprogram@ios.doi.gov.
