This coal will <br />be loaded at the Bowie No. 1 Mine loadout. These changes increase the predicted flow <br />depletion in the Colorado River by 155.6 acre feet per year. This additional depletion may <br />affect four endangered species of fish in the Colorado River. <br />Bowie Resources Limited hereby commits to implement the conservation measures the U. <br />S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes are necessary to mitigate the affect the depletion <br />may have on the four endangered species. The conservation measures inGude a one time <br />contribution of $2,234.42 to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The amount of the <br />contribution is calculated by multiplying the estimated annual depletion of 155.6 acre feet <br />by a contribution factor of $14.36 per acre foot of depletion. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ <br />" J.
