KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT:
WHEREAS, the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-32-101 et seg. (the "Act"), as
amended, and the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials,
C.R.S. 34-32.5-101 et sue. (the "Act"), as amended, provides that no permit may be issued under the Act until the
Mined Land Reclamation Board (the "Board") receives a performance warranty (or warranties) that is a written
promise to comply with all applicable requirements of the Act.
WHEREAS, EnCana Oil & Gas (USA), Inc. (the "PerTnittee"), has applied for a permit to conduct a
mining operation known as West Fork Pit (the "Operation") on certain lands in Garfield County, Colorado. These
lands are described in the permit application, as amended and supplemented, and are referred to herein as the

WHEREAS, in its application for the permit, the Permittee has agreed to be bound by all requirements of
the Act and all applicable rules and regulations of the Board, as amended from time to time.
WHEREAS, the Board has determined, in accordance with the Act, that the estimated costs of
reclamation with regard to those affected lands in Garfield County which are now or may become subject to the
permit are those amounts for the stated periods of time as set forth in the financial warranty, which may be
amended from time to time to reflect revised estimates of said costs of reclamation.
