The United States' Grimmett 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 the federal easement 20 feet west and 15 feet east 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 including trees and/or shrubs (other than
grass or gravel) within its easements, as this will certainly increase our cost of
maintenance. Easements must remain a flat drivable surface.
Please note the appropriate easements on all future preliminary/final plats.
Boise Project Board of Control must also review and approve any final plats prior to
recording.
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
Statues, Title 42-1209.
