The United States' Tumbler Lateral lies within the boundary of 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 East and 20 feet West of the lateral's centerline and 20 feet in all
directions from any concrete irrigation Structures. 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 including trees and/or shrubs (other than grass or
gravel) within its easements, as this will certainly increase our cost of maintenance. All easements
must remain a flat drivable surface.
Any fencing/pathways, as may be required, must be constructed off of any Boise Project
Easements.
Parking lots, curbing, light poles, signs, etc. and the placing of asphalt and/or cement over Project
facility easements must be located outside of these easements.
Utilities planning to cross any project facility 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.
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.
Boise Project is also under the understanding that the Home Owners Association will own
and operate any pump station that is associated with this project.
This development is subject to Idaho Code 31-3805, in accordance, this office is requesting a copy
of the irrigation and drainage plans.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (208) 344-1141.
Sincerely,
omas Ritthaler
