Evansville, IN – According to the state officials, the enhanced Abandoned Mine Land Inventory System, commonly known as e-AMLIS, is the publicly available central database for all AML problems and reclaimed sites.
Eligible states and Tribes will each receive nearly $300,000 to improve data collection processes, as well as data integrity, accuracy, reliability, and standardization.
Funds may also be used for field reconnaissance activities and the use of new technologies to efficiently collect and manage AML information.
President Biden’s Investing in America agenda delivers the largest investment in tackling legacy pollution in American history, including a $11.3 billion investment to remediate abandoned mine lands, which is enabling the remediation of the majority of currently inventoried abandoned mine lands.
