Cunningham Lateral 128+00
Sec . 33 , T3N, R1E, BM .
Linda Ritter, Associate Planner :
The United States ' Cunningham 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) if approved .
The Boise Project Board of Control is contracted to operate and maintain this lateral . We assert
this federal easement 25 feet north and east and 25 feet south and west 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.
Fencing, gates , pathways and pressurized irrigation lines (as may be required) must be
constructed _lust off the lateral easement, to ensure public safety and prevent encroachments .
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 . 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 .
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 15th of
each year. However, on a case-by-case basis, overhead utilities crossing a Project facility may be
allowed after March 15th if reviewed and approved by the Boise Project.
Any proposed piping of the Cunningham Lateral (to include all appurtenant boxes and/or
structures) must be approved by the Boise Project Board of Control prior to any approval of a final
plat. If approved by the Boise Project, the pipe and all appurtenant boxes and/or structures must
be warranted by the land owner for a period of (5 ) five-years . The Warrantee Agreement must be
secured prior to ANY disturbance of that facility .
Storm Drainage and/or Street Runoff must be retained on site .
NO DISCHARGE into the live irrigation system is permitted.
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 Statutes, Title 424209 .
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 the
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 / Proiect.
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.
This development is subject to Idaho Code 31 -3805, in accordance, this office is requesting a
hard copy of all plans to include irrigation and drainage plans.
Per Idaho Statutes, Title 42, local imgation/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 .
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) 344 - 1141 .
Sincerely,
A
