2018 Mine Map Grant Program Application Announcement

[48 Pa.B. 357]
[Saturday, January 13, 2018]

 Applications for the 2018 Mine Map Grant (MMG) program are now available from the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). The MMG is a competitive grant program to establish 3-year grants that will provide funding to learning institutions and incorporated nonprofit organizations located in this Commonwealth to inventory, scan, georeference and vectorize mine maps and data.

 The MMG will be funded from two special State funds under the authority in section 18(j) of the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P.S. § 1396.18(j)) and the Coal and Clay Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund regulations in 25 Pa. Code § 401.51 (relating to loans and grants).

 This announcement opens on January 15, 2018, and grant applications submitted to the Department must be postmarked by February 15, 2018. Grant applications will be evaluated upon receipt, and grant agreements will be made with selected grantees at the earliest date possible thereafter. Subject to the availability of funds, up to $2.25 million in grants will be provided over the 3-year period with a minimum grant award of $300,000. Individual grant amounts will be based on MMG application and the quality and reliability of work proposed, which are dependent on the use of adequate and experienced staff and equipment. As a result, grants will be awarded to grantees based not only upon cost considerations, but also upon their ability to adequately and reliably complete the projects they propose, as demonstrated in their applications.

 Applications may be obtained by contacting the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Mining Programs, P.O. Box 8461, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8461, (717) 787-5103. For additional information and to obtain the electronic copy of the MMG application, visit the Department's web site at www.dep.pa.gov (search term: MMG) or www.pamsi.org/MMG.html.
