No Irrigation District Water Rights Grimmett Lateral approx.Sta. No. 26+70 Sec. 32, T3N, R1E, BM. C. Jay Coles, City Clerk: OPERATING AGENCY FOR 167,000 ACRES FOR THE FOLLOWING IRRIGATION DISTRICTS NAMPA-MERIDIAN DISTRICT BOISE-KUNA DISTRICT WILDER DISTRICT NEW YORK DISTRICT BIG BEND DISTRICT TEL: (208) 344-1141 FAX: (208) 344-1437 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 easement needs to remain a flat driveable surface. 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 15th of each year. However, on a case by case basis, overhead utilities and utilities boring underneath a Project facility may be allowed after March 15th if reviewed and approved by the Boise Project. Project facilities and/or easements that parallel, and are within and/or intended to be within road right-of-ways due to any development of this property must be relocated outside of road right-of-ways. The easements of Boise Project facilities will remain the same unless agreed upon and/or approved with written permission from Boise Project Board of Control. Any proposed piping of the Grimmett Lateral (to include all appurtenant boxes and/or structures) must be warranted by the land owner for a period of (5) five -years. The Warrantee Agreement must be secured prior to ANY disturbance of that facility. In order to relocate the Grimmett Lateral, as proposed, a relocation agreement must be secured through the Bureau of Reclamation with Boise Project's approval prior to any work within Project easements. It is Boise Project's understanding that this process may take from 6 months up to a year to obtain. 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 15th of each year. 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.
