The United States' Grimmett Lateral lies within the above-mentioned location. The
easement for this lateral is held in the name of the United States through the Bureau of
Reclamation under the authority of the Act of August 30, 1890. (26 Stat. 391; 43 U.S.C.
945)
The Boise Project Board of Control is contracted to operate and maintain this lateral. We
assert this federal easement 20 feet westerly and 20 feet easterly of the lateral's
centerline. Whereas this area is for the operation and maintenance of our facility, no
activity should hinder our ability to do so.
The Boise Project does not approve landscaping (other than grass) within its easements,
as this will certainly increase our cost of maintenance.
The construction of any roadway crossings must be conducted only during the non -
irrigation season when the lateral is dewatered. In any case no work shall take place
within the easement before the proper crossing agreements have been secured through the
Bureau of Reclamation and the Boise Project Board of Control.
Utilities planning to cross any project facility in order to service this development must
do so in accordance with the master policies now held between the Bureau of
Reclamation and most of the utilities. In any case no work shall take place within the
easement before proper crossing agreements have been secured through both the Bureau
of Reclamation and the Boise Project Board of Control.
Crossing agreements must be secured and signed by all parties prior to March 1St of each
year. A time schedule for the construction to be done during the non -irrigation season
must be approved by Boise Project prior to any activity within Project easements. No
construction will be allowed within the easement boundaries of the Boise Project Board
of Control facilities after March 151h of each year. However, on a case by case basis,
overhead utilities and utilities boring underneath a Project facility may be allowed after
March 15"' if reviewed and approved by the Boise Project.
Storm Drainage and/or Street Runoff must be retained on site.
Local irrigation/drainage ditches that cross this property, in order to serve neighboring
properties, must remain unobstructed and protected by an appropriate easement.
Wording on the preliminary and final recorded plat needs to state that any proposed
and/or future usage of the Boise Project Board of Control facilities are subject to Idaho
Statutes, Title 42-1209.
This development is subject to Idaho Code 31-3805, in accordance, this office is
requesting any copies of the irrigation and drainage plans.
Whereas this development is in its preliminary stages, Boise Project Board of Control
reserves the right to review plans and require changes when our easements and/or
facilities are affected by unknown factors.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact me at (208) 344-1141.
Sincerely,
Bob Carter
