Kentucky x 15.252 is a reclamation join, not a mine-safety score
This page pairs CFDA 15.252, ABANDONED MINE LAND RECLAMATION (AMLR), with Kentucky place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $654,304,021.01 on 24 awards. AMLR funds, in program language, address hazards and reclamation on abandoned mine land. This extract does not list sites, acres, or hazard types. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which coal state has worse leftover mines, and not a claim that 24 awards equal 24 sites.
Other Interior or OSMRE listings, AML economic-revitalization codes, and different reclamation CFDA numbers sit outside $654,304,021.01 unless they also carry 15.252. Kentucky also appears in this slice on a public-health crisis-response join (CFDA 93.354); that is a different overlay. Correlation between this obligation sum and coal-employment history is not causation. Employment figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Kentucky locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $654,304,021.01 in the state treasury. Acid-mine-drainage treatment, land restoration, and water projects may all sit on 15.252 without this extract splitting them. The join reports 24 awards as stored.
24 reclamation awards at a high average commitment
Mean obligation is about $27.26 million if $654,304,021.01 were divided evenly across 24 lines. That ratio is not a published project budget. State AML grants often post as a modest number of assistance rows to a state reclamation agency, sometimes with large multi-year instruments. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a count of portals, highwalls, or water-treatment plants.
Twenty-four lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names or site lists. Open Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (Amlr) in Kentucky for the stored table. Do not convert 24 into an inventory of Kentucky's abandoned mine land. The $654,304,021.01 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.
