Exhibit K-1 State Provisions is a document related to a contract opportunity involving Trout Unlimited (TU) for engineering design and permit services for abandoned mine land (AML) reclamation in Centre County, Pennsylvania. The project focuses on reclaiming abandoned mine features at a specific discharge area (105D) located at coordinates 41.061927, -77.898399 in Snow Shoe Township, which includes designing and permitting the restoration of high walls, spoils, pits, and underground mine entrances. The contract is contingent upon TU receiving a grant from the Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation (BAMR) AML/AMD Grant Program and must meet Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) and BAMR design requirements.

The project's funding is specifically tied to a grant application, with the final contract dependent on grant award approval. TU has obtained a BAMR Consent for Right of Entry form signed by the primary property owners and is seeking to coordinate potential reclamation activities that might extend slightly onto a neighboring parcel. While the primary focus is on the single property, TU will be responsible for securing additional landowner permissions. If the neighboring landowner declines participation, the project will proceed with the currently signed landowners. The project's design must balance restoration of approximate pre-mining grades with the goals of the current landowners and regulatory requirements.
