As we discussed, there are considerable opportunities to enhance aquatic habitat features on your property in order to provide high quality lentic and lotic aquatic habitat for various trout species and increase to value and marketability of the future tracts. Per your request, I am providing you with a breakdown of projects, associated tasks, and estimated costs for the prioritized items we discussed last weekend. The Salt River side channel project provides excellent potential to improve in-stream trout habitat and utilization, in addition to increased channel function and dynamics. Such potential is clearly not fully utilized in the current enhancement design you provided us for review. With several decades of experience designing, permitting, and constructing this type of project, Biota is confident that we can develop an enhancement and restoration plan that will utilize the full potential of the side channel. This work will, however, require the collection of topographic and flow data in order to facilitate hydrologic modeling of the proposed treatments and to ensure the long-term stability and maintenance of created features. Biota's thorough and professional methodologies have been recognized by the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and we have a long- standing history of completing projects in a timely fashion with the full cooperation of the ACOE and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. EXHIBIT 2 The water feature creation and enhancement projects that we discussed also provide great opportunities to increase fish and wildlife habitat while simultaneously providing excellent aesthetic and recreational values to the property. I do not anticipate any difficulty obtaining necessary permits for the wetland crossings necessary in order to provide access to the northwestern portion of your property. The attached scope of work (Exhibit A) and estimated costs (Exhibit B) should provide you with a clear understanding of what will be necessary in terms of data collection, design, construction, and costs in order to complete the projects that you prioritized during our meeting. Biota is very interested in providing our environmental consulting services to you. We are prepared to begin data collection and preliminary design immediately upon receiving your approval. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your project, please do not hesitate contacting me. I look forward to working with you on this project. Please execute the consulting agreement and return to me (fax is OK). Sincerely, 000479 ~C~f,...~ Thomas M.

Main, Suite 3, Victor, ID 83455; voice: (208) 787-4215· fax: (208) 787-4217 SALT RIVER SIDE CHANNEL ENHANCEMENT PROJECT Task 1 Site Assessments Document existing creek conditions (hydrological, biological, structural) a) Habitat Inventory - An accepted fish habitat inventory procedure will be used to survey sample areas and measure existing conditions. Data recorded for each habitat unit (run, glide, riffle, cascade, pool, etc.) within each sample area would characterize physical parameters (length, width, average depth), maximum and crest depths of slow water habitats, number of pocket and step pools, percent surface fines, bank characteristics, channel shape, stream bank vegetation, number and size of large woody debris pieces, substrate composition, and general observations. b) Hydrologic Analysis - Characterize and quantify the flow regimes within the project area. Instantaneous flow measurements collected through the project area at varying flow levels will facilitate analysis and collection of flow information. Observed discharge levels will be precisely quantified and the hydrograph will be characterized. c) Topographic Survey - A topographic survey will precisely characterize current morphologic conditions in the project area and will facilitate hydrologic modeling of both current and proposed conditions. d) Site Analysis - Characterization of site condition and identification of project goals based on analysis of all data collected in Task 1 (e.g., lack of in-stream fish cover habitat, lack of spawning habitat, large accumulation of sediments, low flow velocities, over-widened sections of stream). Task 2 Conceptual Design Phase Develop conceptual design that addresses and remedies problems identified in Task 1. Present treatment methodologies and general design that will enhance fish habitat, channel function, and riparian condition in the watercourse while maximizing recreational fishing opportunities and trout Exhibit A - June 15, 2007 Page 3 Biota, P.O. Box 8578, Jackson, WY 83002 spawning, over-winter, and cover habitat. Enhancement techniques wi'l focus on improving the aesthetic quality of surface water features while providing function and utility throughout the project area. Biota will ensure that the design addresses identified goals and objectives in the project area while not adversely affecting adjacent fish habitat. Task 3 Final Design Phase Develop a detailed fish habitat enhancement plan, incorporating all generated information. Final design will include all treatments and will quantify materials and activities. Design will be modeled using the Army Corps of Engineers' HEC-RAS software to ensure that flows and channel design function symbiotically in order to fully utilize opportunities to enhance habitat and function throughout the system. Final design will be prepared and presented in a final form that is understandable to the client and suitable for submittal to regulatory agencies for review and permitting requirements. c.Oû4S1. Task 4 Permitting Acquire authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality in order to implement the fish habitat enhancement plan. Submit the fish habitat enhancement plan and permit application(s) to the appropriate regulatory agencies; at a minimum, permits and/or project concurrence from the ACOE, DEQ, and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) will be required. Respond to requests from regulatory agencies concerning the fish habitat enhancement plan and provide any additional information regarding site conditions, construction plans, etc. Task 5 Construction Construct the approved and permitted fish habitat enhancement plan in a timely fashion. An experienced and qualified contractor will be contracted to perform all permitted creek work using heavy equipment (tracked excavators, front-end loaders, haul trucks, etc.). Task 6 Construction Supervision Supervise construction of the approved habitat enhancement plan. Construction supervision will be performed by Biota to ensure the contractor fully implements the enhancement plan and complies with all permit conditions. RECREATIONAL POND DESIGN Task 1 Site Assessment & Data Collection The current topographic, hydrologic, vegetative; and aesthetic conditions of the identified pond creation site will be assessed. Topographic data collected by Biota will facilitate design of the pond feature including inlet and outlet structures, pond perimeter, internal characteristics, and downstream in-channel flow conditions. Task 2 Design Develop conceptual design for pond that provides recreational opportunities and aesthetic value while providing fish habitat, wildlife habitat, and wetland development. The pond will be designed to function properly with the hydrologic support provided by the existing channel under the assumption that flows will increase as the result of varied upstream practices and water management techniques. Aeration and subsequent water quality treatments will be presented in an Exhibit A - June 15, 2007 Page 4 Biota, P.O. Box 8578, Jackson, WY 83002 effort to develop a long-term pond maintenance strategy that will ensure that the water feature provides high quality habitat, recreational opportunities, and aesthetic value into the future. Task 3 Permitting It is assumed that some minor permitting through the Army Corps of Engineers will be necessary in conjunction with this pond creation project. Biota will assess the wetland delineation report and ACOE determination in order to determine whether permitting is, in fact, necessary. Water rights permitting for the pond will be required and Surveyor Scherbel is capable of providing these serVIces. ('Oû482 Task 4 Construction A qualified contractor will be hired to construct the water feature per the design specification and requirements of issued permits or regulatory agencies. Meetings with the contractor may be necessary and construction supervision may be required to some degree in order to ensure that the water feature is constructed in a proper fashion and according to the design. Task 5 Revegetation Optional revegetation techniques, areas, and treatments will be presented in conjunction with the pond design and construction outline. Revegetation treatments will be discussed and proposed in order to provide the most economical and timely advantages in terms of water feature aesthetic values, function, wildlife and wetland habitat, and construction reclamation. EXISTING FISH POND ENHANCEMENT Task 1 Site Assessment & Data Collection The current topographic, functional, and vegetative conditions of the existing fish pond will be assessed. General topographic data collected by Biota will facilitate design of habitat enhancement treatments that will increase functionality of the pond by providing productive aquatic wetland habitat while developing shoreline and shallow water habitat of critical value to closed fishery systems. Task 2 Design Develop conceptual design for pond enhancement that provides recreational opportunities and aesthetic value while maximizing fish habitat, wildlife habitat, and wetland development. The pond enhancement treatments will be designed to function properly with the hydrologic support provided, will function with existing vegetation, will improve and increase productive wetland habitat, and will include increasing the water surface elevation via development of a natural appearing impoundment structure. Task 3 Permitting Permitting through the Army Corps of Engineers mayor may not be necessary in conjunction with this pond enhancement project. Biota will assess previously issued permits, the wetland delineation report, and the ACOE determination in order to determine whether permitting will be necessary. If permitting is required, Biota will complete such permitting in a timely fashion in order that enhancement construction can occur in conjunction with other projects on the property. Task 4 Construction Exhibit A - June 15,2007 Page 5 Biota, P.O. Box 8578, Jackson, WY 83002 A qualified contractor will be hired to construct the water feature enhancements per the design specification and requirements of any issued permits or regulatory agencies. Meetings with the contractor may be necessary and construction supervision may be required to some degree in order to ensure that the water feature is constructed in a proper fashion and according to the design. Task 5 Revegetation Optional revegetation techniques, areas, and treatments will be presented in conjunction with the pond enhancement design and construction outline. Revegetation treatments will be discussed and proposed in order to provide the most economical and timely advantages in terms of water feature aesthetic values, function, wildlife and wetland habitat, and construction reclamation. (;Oû4S3 WETLAND CROSSINGS Task 1 Site Assessment Site assessment will identify wetland crossing needs, existing topography, wetland characteristics, and wetland impacts. These assessments and data collection will facilitate the development of a submittal to the Army Corps of Engineers. Task 2 Permitting Biota will develop a plan and submit to the Army Corps of Engineers in order to obtain permits necessary for developing the wetland crossing. The submittal will be completed in a timely fashion in order that construction associated with the crossing could occur relatively soon in order to provide access to the western portion of the property.
