PA DEP Abandoned Mine Lands and Abandoned Mine Drainage (AML/AMD) Grant Program

Pennsylvania's largest dedicated funding source for abandoned mine land reclamation and acid mine drainage remediation.

Funded through federal AML dollars and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law AMD set-aside, the program supports treatment system construction, ongoing operation and maintenance, and land reclamation that restores impaired streams. Watershed associations are explicitly eligible alongside local governments, which matters because volunteer groups operate many of the passive treatment systems in western PA. Solicitations are periodic rather than on a fixed annual date.
