[#1, #2, #3] Purchase of Area-7418-1 property (~$200k assumed) plus site hardening/structural conversion (~$60k) and perimeter fencing/gates/signage (~$15k). Decommissioning handled in separate line. Purchase chosen over lease to reduce legal/secrecy risk.

[#6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #13, #14, #15] Thermal imaging systems, drone(s), ground sensor network (moderate acoustic/DAQ), server/NVR analytics, freezer/cold storage, initial PPE stock, generator + UPS, and vehicle purchase aggregated here.

[#19, #20] Initial study and experimental containment/materials testing budget (lab access, CT scans, soil/core analysis, prototype trials).

[#30] Reserve estimate for potential site decommissioning/relocation, environmental remediation and transport if required.

[#21] One-time legal/cover-story setup fees (initial retainers, NDAs, one-off counsel) to establish covert arrangements for a civilian residence.

[#22] Initial compensation/assurances/indemnity (small buyout/stipend or housing modifications) to secure cooperation.

[#26] One-time purchase of portable decon showers, chemicals, quarantine materials and initial training/equipment.

[#28] Initial compensation/rights payments to neighbors for access or disruption where needed.

[#12, #27] One-off permit/application fees (animal/transport/excavation-related) and initial veterinary/animal-welfare administrative fees.

[#4, #24] Continuous on-site operatives (two on-site at all times → ~8–10 FTE; budget assumes ~9 FTE) plus monitoring analysts (1–3 FTE folded into total), MTF-level pay, benefits, payroll taxes, overtime and administrative overhead.

[#29] Contingency reserve (15% of base annual operating budget) for unpredictable escalations, applied as recurring reserve.

[#9, #19, #20] Ongoing research/R&D program and monitoring costs (cloud storage/licenses, analytics, continued experiments and materials testing).

[#5] Retainer/standby and expected variable deployment costs for rapid-response/search teams (K-9, excavation specialists, drones).

[#21, #22, #27, #28] Annual legal/PR retainer, permit renewals, ongoing liaison/assurances to Dr. Santos (stipend/medical surveillance), and neighbor/community mitigation payments.

[#17] Annual reserved fund for geotechnical repairs, underpinning and sinkhole remediation due to burrowing activity.

[#3, #6, #8, #14, #16, #26] Ongoing maintenance/calibration for perimeter, thermal cameras, ground sensors, generator fuel/maintenance, utilities (power/internet/heating) and decon equipment maintenance.

[#10, #11, #13, #25] Feed program (~$24k/yr assumed), authorized lure supplies, PPE consumables, and biohazard/waste disposal contracts.

[#18] Covert contracts/retainer for rapid utility mitigation and coordination with public utilities.

[#23] Regular operational training, emergency drills, and recordkeeping/audits.

[#7, #15] Vehicle operating costs (insurance/maintenance/fuel) and drone insurance/maintenance for mobile thermal search capability.
