AMLR dollars on the West Virginia key
CFDA 15.252 is titled Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (AMLR). West Virginia is the place-of-performance state. $935,350,698.52 sums obligations on records that carry both keys. Nineteen awards against that total is a concentrated Interior assistance file. The packet does not name sites, watersheds, or AML inventories. The join is a two-key filter, not a scorecard of leftover highwalls.
The West Virginia hub totals every program. The national 15.252 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. Interior Tribal Self-Governance (15.022) is a different 15-series code. Mixing it into $935,350,698.52 would misstate reclamation assistance.
Nineteen awards against $935,350,698.52 is a concentrated Interior file, three rows thicker than Wyoming’s 16-award AMLR cell. Three extra rows do not mean three extra mountains of spoil. The packet has no site list. West Virginia’s about-$49.2 million mean and Wyoming’s about-$54.8 million mean are averages of different geography keys. Ordering them does not order reclamation need. This page reports only the WV–15.252 pair.
What the AMLR catalog number captures
Abandoned mine land reclamation is a specific Office of Surface Mining assistance line as titled. It is not active-mine regulation fees, not EPA Superfund, and not a statewide environmental-quality index. Packet facts are the obligation total, 19 awards, state WV, and CFDA 15.252. No acreage table is included.
Place of performance tagged West Virginia can cover a statewide reclamation grant or a project-level award. The geography key does not publish a county hazard map. Awards coded to Kentucky, Pennsylvania, or Ohio stay on other ties even when coalfields cross those borders.
West Virginia as geography, not a blight ranking
West Virginia is USAspending state code WV. A recipient based elsewhere can still show WV if performance is coded there. $935,350,698.52 is not every federal dollar in West Virginia and is not the state’s entire energy or environmental footprint. The packet has no unemployment figure and this page does not invent one.
Statewide West Virginia federal spending is the parent. CFDA 15.252 is one Interior line. Readers looking for HHS, DOT, or USDA programs in West Virginia should use other CFDA joins.
The $49.2 million average versus Wyoming’s cell
Average obligation is about $49.2 million ($935,350,698.52 ÷ 19). Wyoming’s 15.252 join in this harvest uses 16 awards against $876,965,765.59, a mean near $54.8 million. West Virginia has more awards and a slightly lower mean. That comparison is arithmetic on two aggregates, not evidence that one state’s abandoned mines are cheaper to reclaim.
Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $935,350,698.52 as given. Obligations are not outlays.
What the West Virginia–15.252 pair is not
A shared state tag does not mean West Virginia selected these awards, and it does not mean AMLR outlays equal $935,350,698.52. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

AMLR overlay without a site inventory
Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (Amlr) in West Virginia is the overlay for CFDA 15.252 inside state WV. Nineteen awards and $935,350,698.52 will not list highwalls, portals, or watershed names because those fields are not in the packet. Wyoming’s 16-award 15.252 join is a sibling geography key with a higher mean. Ordering those two cells by mean does not order leftover mine hazards. Interior Tribal Self-Governance (15.022) is a different 15-series code used on the Alaska join; it is not AMLR.
West Virginia programs is the CFDA index. The national 15.252 hub drops the state filter. EPA Superfund, if it appears under another catalog, is outside $935,350,698.52. This join does not convert reclamation obligations into a blight ranking, and it does not treat 19 awards as the number of sites. Obligations are not outlays. FEC filings do not fund the cell.
