Boise-Kuna Irrigation District Belle Lateral 00+50 Sec. 36, T3N, Rlw, BM, Joseph Dodson, Planner: 2465 OVERLAND ROAD BOISE, IDAHO 83705-3155 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 R E ^ E T T ' E ': (208) 344-1437 09 April 2021 (�"' V APR 12 2021 CITY OFCtifE TANJ, CITY CLERKS OFFICE AZ, PP H-2021-0021 The United States' Belle/Carlson 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) if approved. The Boise Project Board of Control is contracted to operate and maintain this lateral. We assert this federal easement of 25 feet north and 25 feet south 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 or gravel) within its easements, as this will certainly increase our cost of maintenance. Easement must remain a flat drivable surface. Fencing and Pathways (as may be required) must be constructed just off the lateral easement, to ensure public safety and prevent encroachments. 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. 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. 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. Crossing agreements must be secured and signed by all parties prior to March lst 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 15th if reviewed and approved by the Boise Project. Any proposed piping of the Belle/Carlson Lateral (to include all appurtenant boxes and/or structures) must be approved by the Boise Project Board of Control prior to any approval of a final plat. If approved by the Boise Project, the pipe and 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. Storm Drainage and/or Street Runoff must be retained on site. NO DISCHARGE into the live irrigation system is permitted. 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. Whereas this property lies within the Boise-Kuna Irrigation District it is important that representatives of this development contact the BKID office as soon as possible to discuss the pressure system prior to any costly design work. If applicable, the irrigation system will have to be built to specific specifications as set by the District / Project. Boise Project Boarcl of Control must receive a written response from the Boise-Kuna Irrigation District as to who will own and operate the pressure irrigation system prior to review and approval of an irrigation plan by Boise Project Board of Control. This development is subject to Idaho Code 31-3805, in accordance, this office is requesting any copies of the irrigation and drainage plans. Local irrigation/drainage ditches that cross this property, in order to serve neighboring properties, must remain unobstructed and protected by an appropriate easement. 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 fiirther questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (208) 344-1141 a Sincerely, Thomas Ritthaler Assistant Project Manager, BPBC for/tr cc: Clint McCormick Alicia Flavel File Watermaster, Div; 2 BPBC Secretary — Treasurer, BKID
