Some states have streamlined the reclamation process, supporting local groups limited by a lack of manpower.
EPA estimates up to 200,000 acres of formerly mined land need to be reforested in Pennsylvania .
The Department of the Interior has three programs states can use: abandoned mine land fund, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and AMLER fund.
Federal delays hamper states like Pennsylvania , but cleanup could pay dividends if officials make cleanup and development a priority.
States can set their own standards for what they want in an AMLER project.
A number of mine reclamation funds give money to small communities, but they don't always have grant writers on staff or full-time people.
