AHMR Tribal Grants Program

AHMR Tribal Grants Program

Funding for Abandoned Hardrock Mine Reclamation (AHMR) on Tribal 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 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the AHMR Program. Grants will be available to Tribes 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.  

Tribal Consultation on the draft Directed Announcement concluded August 11, 2025. The Tribal Consultation Close-out Report is available on the Bureau of Indian Affairs website: Summary of Consultation Comments.
