Miner Creek water rights irrigate the north/northwest end of the Ranch and is a good consistent flow of irrigation water. Englejard Creek water is utilized to irrigate the central core and the western end of the Ranch. Hamby Creek water is diverted to irrigate the southern end of the Ranch. Though Hamby Creek does not flow through the Ranch, the Ranch controls two higher-priority diversion points out of the creek – the upper and lower diversions. Hamby Creek water can be diverted into Englejard Creek to supplement irrigation in the core of the Ranch or it can be utilized exclusively to irrigate the meadows on the southern end of the Ranch. The extensive water rights which the Ranch controls are reliable and can be diverted to supplement other water rights within the Ranch. Because the Ranch does not rely on only one drainage for irrigating their meadows, the three mountain streams eliminate risk of loss and provide a strong sense of security knowing there will be water into September. A limited flow is maintained in many of the ditches well into the fall for livestock purposes. All water rights in Montana are subject to eventual re-adjudication by the Montana Water Court and, as a result of that process, may be changed as to validity, amount, priority date, place of use and other such changes as the Court determines. The Seller has made all of the filings currently required and will transfer the water rights as they currently stand with no warranty of future viability. For a complete water rights report, please contact listing broker Mike Swan in our Bozeman office. — 14 —
ARCTIC GRAYLING AGREEMENT The Ranch voluntarily participates in the Arctic Grayling Program. Though Arctic grayling have never been seen in any of the Ranch streams, the Ranch does control a large amount of water that can aid with the instream flows of the Big Hole River. On a typical year, this only impacts the river during mid to late summer as the Montana Fish and Game attempt to retain enough flow to maintain a healthy grayling population. When flow rates drop at the measuring station located east of the Ranch on the Miner Creek Road where it crosses the Big Hole River, FWP asks those ranchers participating in the program to voluntarily reduce irrigation flows. According to the Ranch Manager, this has not significantly impacted the irrigation of the Ranch. Through this program, the State of Montana has assisted with several conservation cost-share projects, such as on several headgates and “fish passages” on many of the headgates that divert water out of the streams to irrigation ditches. — 15 —
