Passive Treatment Protection Program (PTPP)
15.256
In accordance with Section 404 of SMCRA, lands and water eligible for reclamation or drainage abatement under Section 404 of Public Law 95-87 (the Act), Stat. 445-532 as amended, are those which were mined for coal or which were affected by mining, waste banks, coal processing, or other coal mining processes prior to August 3, 1977, and left in an unclaimed or inadequately reclaimed condition, for which there is no continuing reclamation responsibility under state or other Federal laws. The funding priorities and technical focus for this announcement are to use appropriated PTPP funds for the comprehensive abatement and treatment of water pollution discharged from abandoned mine lands to restore water quality in streams in a manner that would allow the aquatic biological community to recover. Funding is available to assist local 501(c)(3) status organizations (e.g., watershed groups), organizations using AmeriCorps and its VISTA programs, local governments, tribal governments, and most state government agencies.

Funding Opportunities have not yet been posted for this fiscal year. It is anticipated that funding will be made available to assist not-for-profit IRS 501 (c)(3) status organizations (e.g., watershed groups), organizations using AmeriCorps and its VISTA programs, local governments, tribal governments, and most state government agencies. The funding priorities and technical focus for this announcement are to use appropriated PTPP funds for the comprehensive abatement and treatment of water pollution discharged from abandoned mine lands to restore water quality in streams in a manner that would allow the aquatic biological community to recover. Non-Federal entities will use PTPP funds for operation and maintenance costs for new passive treatment systems. Projects may also include repair and renovation of previously installed passive water treatment systems and operation and maintenance costs for existing passive treatment systems.
OMB is working with the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and agency offices of inspectors general to include links to relevant oversight reports. This section will be updated once this information is made available.
