The United, States' Farr Lateral lies within the boundary of the above -mentioned location.
The casement 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 Slat. 391; 43
U.S.C.945)
The Boise Project Board of Control i.s contracted to operate and maintain this lateral.. We
assert this -federal easement 20 feet southwesterly and. 20 feet northeasterly 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.
Fencing (as may be required) must be constructed just off the lateral easement, to insure
public safety and prevent encroachments.
Utilities planning to cross any project facility must do so in accordance with the plaster
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.
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 Soise: Project Board ofControl.
