McBirney Lateral 27+90
Sec . 31 , T3N, RI E. BM .
Nick Napoli,
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. 391 ;
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 other than gravel within its easements, as
this will certainly increase our cost of maintenance. Easements must be left a flat
drivable surface. No variances will be granted .
All fences, gates, pathways and pressurized irrigation lines must be just off the edge of all
Boise Project easements . No variances will be granted .
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 I " 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 1st of each year. However, on a case-by-case basis,
overhead utilities crossing a Project facility may be allowed after March lst 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 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 to that facility . A relocation
agreement must also be procured through the Bureau of Reclamation prior to any
construction within the above-mentioned easement.
Boise Pro ' ect Board of Control must approve any requests and/or relocation of delivery
J
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 Statutes , Title 42 , local irrigation/drainage ditches and pressurized irrigation
lines that cross this property, 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 -3 805 , in accordance, this office is
requesting a 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 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 .
