Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (AMLR) federal funding in Kentucky

Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (AMLR) (CFDA 15.252) shows $654,304,021.01 in USAspending.gov obligations with Kentucky as place of performance. Twenty-four awards carry that total. The join is an Interior reclamation listing crossed with a state location field, not Kentucky's entire energy budget and not a count of unreclaimed sites. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Key figures

  • CFDA 15.252 in Kentucky shows $654,304,021.01 in USAspending obligations on 24 awards.
  • Twenty-four awards are grant rows, not a census of abandoned mine sites.
  • The join is AMLR plus Kentucky place of performance, not the state's full energy budget.
  • The total is commitments, not completed reclamation or outlays.

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.

Obligations on 15.252 are not dirt already moved

Reclamation work often obligates in grants and spends as construction proceeds. The $654,304,021.01 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of completed earthwork and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. An OSMRE grant announcement dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 15.252, Kentucky geography, and the obligation metric.

The parenthetical AMLR in the title is the catalog abbreviation as stored. This extract does not split acid-mine-drainage projects from land restoration, and it does not split fee-based AML from Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act AML additions if those share or do not share this CFDA. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 24 awards, CFDA 15.252, and Kentucky.

What the Kentucky AMLR table omits

The extract has no site inventory, no hazard ranking, and no acreage. Facts remain $654,304,021.01, 24 awards, CFDA 15.252, and Kentucky. This page will not invent a county league table of unreclaimed land. Sibling 15.252 joins in other states are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse reclamation score.

Kentucky federal spending and Kentucky programs place 15.252 among other listings. CFDA 15.252 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Interior spending the packet never computed. The $654,304,021.01 figure is the tagged pair only.

Where the 15.252 x Kentucky overlay lives

Start with Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (Amlr) in Kentucky for the 24-award table behind $654,304,021.01. CFDA 15.252 is the nationwide listing. Kentucky federal spending and Kentucky programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric. Twenty-four awards totaling $654,304,021.01 remain a reclamation-grant file, not a mine-site census. Inspect named award lines rather than inferring acres treated. Reclamation completed and remaining site hazards are not in this packet and are not invented here.

Questions

How much abandoned mine land reclamation funding is obligated in Kentucky?
USAspending.gov shows $654,304,021.01 in obligations for CFDA 15.252 with Kentucky as place of performance, across 24 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Kentucky's full energy or Interior budget. Other reclamation listings are outside this join unless they also carry 15.252.
Do 24 awards mean 24 abandoned mine sites in Kentucky?
No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a site census, acreage total, or hazard count. The packet does not name sites. See the Kentucky 15.252 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.
Is this Kentucky's entire coal-reclamation budget?
No. The join is CFDA 15.252 crossed with Kentucky place of performance. Other Interior, OSMRE, or state-only reclamation funds can sit on different codes. Those dollars are not inside $654,304,021.01 unless the award also carries 15.252. The extract has no site list.
Is $654 million already spent on Kentucky reclamation?
Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $654,304,021.01 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Earthwork completed and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
