Sec. 25 , T3N, R1 W, B .M .
Sonya Allen :
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 any landscaping other than gravel within its easements,
as this will certainly increase our cost of maintenance. All easements must remain a flat
drivable surface.
Any fencing, gates , pathways and pressurized irrigation lines , 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 .
Per Idaho 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 land owner, developer and contractors .
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
hard copy of the irrigation and drainage plans .
Whereas this development is in its preliminary stages , Boise Project Board of Control
reserves the right to require changes when our easements and/or facilities are affected by
unknown factors even during the construction phase.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (208) 3444141 .
