This is a Cooperative Stewardship Agreement for Habitat Improvement between TV Ranch LLC and the Arizona Game and Fish Department, specifically the Arizona Game and Fish Commission. The agreement is authorized under Arizona Revised Statutes and involves a collaborative project to enhance wildlife habitat on lands owned or controlled by the Bureau of Land Management.

The project, called the "Menges Ranch Water Enhancement", involves installing water infrastructure at two sites: the Farrel Mountain site (with a 10,000-gallon storage tank and 650-gallon water trough) and the Lee Trail site (with a 5,000-gallon storage tank and 650-gallon water trough). The Arizona Game and Fish Department will reimburse TV Ranch LLC up to $12,300 for materials and labor to complete the habitat improvements. The agreement extends for a period of ten years, with the goal of providing a permanent water source for wildlife in a half-mile radius. The project is designed to make water dinkers wildlife-friendly and available year-round, with the cooperative's primary purpose being to benefit wildlife populations and public interests in Arizona.
