Dear Mr. Lambert:
|
||
|
||
This letter is to inform you that the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
|
||
(OSM) has completed our internal vetting process for the Project Reclaim Phase II Pilot
|
||
application. We are satisfied with the concept of the project and that it meets the intent of the
|
||
program.
|
||
|
||
Please proceed with submitting the necessary documents for sub-recipient approval through the
|
||
OSM Pittsburgh grants office, if you have not already done so, being mindful no federal funds
|
||
can be expended without this approval.
|
||
|
||
Contingent upon sub-recipient approval you may authorize project development activities as
|
||
included in the Applicant’s submitted budget, however construction activities, including any
|
||
property purchases or equipment purchases, cannot be initiated until OSM issues an official
|
||
Authorization to Proceed. We also recommend scheduling a meeting with the project partners,
|
||
OSM, and your office ahead of project work to assist with coordinating the proposed up-front
|
||
expenditures, NEPA, and any other ESA requirements needed for this project.
|
||
|
||
If you have any questions, please contact me.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Sincerely,
|
||
|
||
