Meridian Boise -Kona Irrigation District BK404 McBirney Lateral 73+20 Sec. 36, T3N, R1 W, BM, Joe Dodson: OPERATING AGENCY FOR 161,000 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' McBirney Lateral lies within the boundary of the above -mentioned location. The easement for this canal 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. 3916, 43 U.S.C. 945) The Boise Project Board of Control is contracted to operate and maintain this lateral. We assert the federal easement 25 feet both directions 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. All fences/pathways must be just off the edge of all Boise Project easements. Easements must be a flat drivable surface the whole width of the easement. Parking lots, curbing, light poles, signs, etc, and the placing of asphalt and/or cement over Project facility easements must be approved by Boise Project Board of Control prior to construction. 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. The construction of any roadway crossings must be conducted only during the non - irrigation season when the canal 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 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 1 sc 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 15t' of each year. However, on a case -by -case basis, overhead utilities and utilities boring underneath a Project facility may be allowed after March 15t` if reviewed and approved by the Boise Project. The piping and relocation of any Lateral, Canal and/or Drain must be reviewed and approved by the Project and the Bureau of Reclamation, prior to any plans being approved, and is (to include all appurtenant boxes and/or structures) and must be warranted by the landowner for a period of (5) five -years. The Warrantee Agreement must be secured prior to ANY disturbance of that facility. A relocation agreement must also be procured through the Bureau of Reclamation prior to any construction within the above -mentioned easement. Boise Project Board of Control must approve any requests and/or relocation of delivery points prior to construction. Storm Drainage and/or Street Runoff must be retained on site. NO DISCHARGE into any live irrigation system is permitted. Per Idaho State Statutes, Title 42, local irrigation/drainage ditches that cross this property, in order to serve neighboring properties, must remain unobstructed and protected by an appropriate easement by the landowner, developer and contractors. RECEIVED JUL 12 2022 CITY OFCuP�Rror�� CITY CLERKS OFFICE Should there be any small (neighborhood) irrigation ditches on this site, the developers and/or landowners will be obligated to protect them and allow water to pass to downstream neighbors. This development is subject to Idaho Code 31-3805, in accordance, this office is requesting a hard copy of the irrigation and drainage plans. Whereas this property lies within Boise-Kuna Irrigation District it is important that representatives of this development contact the BKID office as soon as possible to discuss a 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 Board 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. 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 424209. Future preliminary and final plats must call out the Project easements and the plats must also note, which lots have surface irrigation water rights and which lots do not. 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 or contractors not following the plans. If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (208) 3444 141 0 Since�.l� ; Ritthaler Assistant Project Manager, BPBC for/tr cc: Clint McCormick Watermaster, Div; 2 BPBC Alicia Flavel Secretary -Treasurer BKID File RECEIVED JUL 12 2022 CITY OFG4N4=V.- CITYCLERKS OFFICE
