Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (AMLR) — CFDA 15.252

AMLR obligations at $5.92 billion

USAspending.gov records $5,923,328,385.29 in obligations under CFDA 15.252. Three hundred fifty-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $16.7 million per award — consistent with state reclamation grants rather than thousands of site-level rows. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical site budget.

The assistance-listing title is ABANDONED MINE LAND RECLAMATION (AMLR). CFDA 15.252 is the identifier. Other interior or environmental listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $5.92 billion. Mixing those codes would invent a combined reclamation total this packet does not contain.

USAspending.gov records the $5,923,328,385.29 obligation stock for CFDA 15.252 together with 355 awards, 28 recipients, and 25 states. Keep AMLR on 15.252 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Twenty-eight recipients, 25 states

Twenty-eight recipients share 355 awards, or about 12.7 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $5.92 billion evenly would assign about $211 million per recipient. State reclamation agencies are the organizational unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 28. Recipient count is the better organizational headcount than award count.

Twenty-five states in the geographic count is the distinctive fact on this extract. Place-of-performance on 25 cells reports where 15.252 awards are labeled in this file, often clustering where historic mining left inventory. It does not flatten differences among large and small programs. Dollar amounts by place are on the program table.

Award count is not a site count

Among interior listings, 15.252 is mid-sparse: 355 rows against $5.92 billion. Multi-year grants and modifications can move award count without changing the set of state programs. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of mines reclaimed.” Recipients (28) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (355) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report acres, highwalls, or water-quality samples. Citing 355 as mine sites would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus reclamation cash

The $5.92 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against AMLR awards — are not in the packet. A state program can show a large obligation stock while construction draws follow a different calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 15.252 to size the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a site-inventory map. Inventories live in other series. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.252.

What the 15.252 tables omit

The AMLR hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a mine-site map, not a water-quality file, and not a construction schedule. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $5,923,328,385.29. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 355 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 25 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those 25 cells as the only places dollars can flow. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on earthwork.

Where the AMLR table lives

The Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 15.252 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other interior listings. For 15.252 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 15.252’s 355 awards spread $5,923,328,385.29 across 28 recipients and 25 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. Twenty-five coded jurisdictions is the geography story; about $16.7 million per award is the concentration story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 15.252 is the obligation stock on this extract, together with the award, recipient, and state counts already named above. Do not convert those figures into outlays, and do not treat award count as a service census.

How much is obligated for abandoned mine land reclamation?

USAspending.gov records $5,923,328,385.29 in obligations for CFDA 15.252. SpendingVault indexes 355 awards, 28 recipients, and 25 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a site count. CFDA 15.252’s $5.92 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

Why does CFDA 15.252 show only 25 states?

The extract codes 25 states on place-of-performance for 355 awards and 28 recipients. That stored geographic count reflects where AMLR awards are labeled in this file, often clustering where historic mining left inventory. Place amounts are on the program page.

How many recipients appear on CFDA 15.252?

The extract lists 28 recipients. Those are organizational recipients on assistance awards tagged 15.252. A simple average is about $16.7 million per award. The packet does not name the 28 or publish site inventories. Recipient count is the organizational headcount.

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 15.252’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or acres reclaimed. The $5.92 billion on 355 awards is the obligation figure.
