This document is a Landowner Relations Program Cooperative Stewardship Agreement for Habitat Improvement between Goodwater Ranch LLC and the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The agreement is specifically for the Taylor Tank Pipeline project, involving the State of Arizona through its Game and Fish Commission and Department. The parties are entering into a collaborative effort focused on wildlife habitat conservation and improvement in Arizona.

The project involves providing reimbursement to Goodwater Ranch LLC for five miles of 1.25" poly pipe, purchase and installation of two 5,000-gallon storage tanks from Taylor Well, and wildlife-friendly tire drinkers. The Arizona Game and Fish Department will reimburse the Cooperator up to $40,500.00 for materials and labor to perform habitat improvements. The agreement is set for a ten-year term, with annual monitoring and evaluation of project effectiveness. The Cooperator is responsible for operating and managing the water infrastructure to provide year-round water access for wildlife, including ensuring escape ramps and accessibility. The project aims to address grassland habitat decline and support various wildlife species in Arizona, including prairie dogs, antelope, burrowing owls, and other grassland-dependent animals.
