The Abandoned Mine Lands Economic Revitalization (AMLER) Program is an opportunity for Appalachian communities to achieve economic and community development goals in areas that have been impacted by the downturn of coal production. Congress has appropriated funding for the AMLER Program (previously known as the AML Pilot Program) on an annual basis since Fiscal Year (FY) 2016. The intent of the program is to explore and implement strategies that return legacy coal mining sites to productive uses through economic and community development. The AMLER Program supports local investment opportunities that provide for sustainable long-term rehabilitation of coalfield economies. AMLER is funded from the federal general treasury through annual appropriations to OSMRE. Kentucky AML has established a grant process using OSMRE guidance to distribute the funds.
In Person Assistance Dates and Locations
March 7 – 85 State Police Road, London, KY
Additional Help:
Samantha Johnson – samantham.johnson@ky.gov
Jordan Montgomery – jordan.montgomery@ky.gov
Barry Butcher – barry.butcher@ky.gov
Andrea Thacker – andrea.thacker@ky.gov
Kayla Thornsberry – kayla.thornsberry@ky.gov
Entity Type: Must be a nonprofit or governmental agency
Project Focus: AMLER funds focus on projects that promote Economic and Community Development. Projects will need to demonstrate how they will benefit the economy or communities through metrics such as number of students trained, jobs created, or increased tourism.
Required Nexus: In addition, to qualify for the grant, the site must have an AML Nexus, meaning a connection to historic mining (prior to May18, 1982). That Nexus could be previously reclaimed AML lands, land adjacent to unreclaimed AML land and/or the community impacted by historic coal production. AML cannot grant funds if the property is a permitted Title V site. The typical nexus eligibility search is a half-mile radius.
