Estimated cost <br />including reviews and revisions is between $3.0 and $5.0 million. Contributions by the states <br />will include their costs in providing information and data requested by DOI for NEPA review <br />and ESA consultation. The remaining state and federal funds will be available for <br />implementation of research, analysis, and other measures that will benefit the target species <br />and the associated habitats, as set forth in these Milestones for the Cooperative Agreement. It <br />is anticipated that the combined cash and non -cash contributions from the non - federal parties <br />will be equal to the DOI share for all three years. <br />7 <br />
