The easement for this can 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. 3910 43 U.S.C. 945) if approved. The Boise Project Board of Control is contracted to operate and maintain this canal. We assert this Federal easement of 40 feet both directions of the Rawson Canal 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 (gravel only) within its easements, as this will certainly increase the cost of maintenance. The easement must remain a flat drivable surface. All public roadways must be outside of this easement. Easement must remain a flat drivable surface. No variances will be granted. Fencing, gates, pathways and pressurized irrigation lines (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.
