The United States' Farr 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, 18909 (26 Stat. 3919 43 U.S.C. 945)
The Boise Project Board of Control is contracted to operate and maintain this lateral. We assert
this federal easement of 25 feet north and 30 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 gravel) within its easements, as this
Will certainly increase our cost of maintenance. All easements must remain a flat drivable surface.
No variances will be given.
Fencing, gates, pathways and pressurized ii�igation lines (as may be required) must be constructed
just off the easement, to ensure public safety and prevent encroachments. No variances will be
given.
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 fiom 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 facty must get the proper crossing agreements from the
Bureau of Reclamation. 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.
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.
Storm Drainage and/or Street Runoff must be retained on site.
NO DISCHARGE into any live irrigation system is permitted.
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 landowner, developer and contractors.
This development is subject to Idaho Code 31-3805, in accordance, this office is requesting afull-
size hard copy of the plans to include irrigation and drainage plans.
Whereas this property lies within the New York Irrigation District it is important that
representatives of this development contact the NYID 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 New York 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 42-1209.
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 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
