The United States' Rawson Canal and Beckdolt Lateral lie within the boundary of the above -
mentioned location. The easement for this canal and 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 canal and lateral.
We assert this federal easement 40 feet both directions of the Rawson Canal centerline and 25 feet
both directions of the Beckdolt Lateral 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. The easement must remain a flat drivable surface.
All public roadways must be outside of this easement. No variances will be granted.
Fencing, gates and pathways (as may be required) must be constructed just off the lateral easement,
to ensure public safety and prevent encroachments. No variances will be granted.
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.
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 1st 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 lst of
each year. However, on a case -by -case basis, overhead utilities and utilities boring underneath a
Project facility may be allowed after March lst if reviewed and approved by the Boise Project.
Storm Drainage and/or Street Runoff must be retained on site.
NO DISCHARGE into the 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 a fiill-
size hard copy of the irrigation and drainage plans.
Wording on the preliminary and final recorded plat needs to state that any proposed and/or fixture
usage of the Boise Project Board of Control facilities are subject to Idaho Statutes, Title 42-1209.
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 approved construction phase.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (208) 344-1141.
