Dear Mr.Napoli:
Boise-Kuna Irrigation District as the entity that holds the water right for this property
would like to reiterate the Boise Project Board of Control letter January 20, 2026,referring to
Idaho Statutes,Title 42,also 31-3805. Local irrigation and drainage ditches that cross this
property are essential for operations and must remain unobstructed and protected by an
appropriate easement by the landowner,developer, and contractors.
We would like the County/City to require the following:
1. A design of irrigation deliveries and drainage ditches on both existing and proposed
development.
2. Irrigation design for delivery to any adjoining properties that are impacted by the
change.
3. GIS map of existing conveyance systems; irrigation easements and drainage ditches,
on proposed development as well as adjoining properties.
4. GIS maps for any newly installed conveyance systems or drain ditches.
5. Engineer's certificate that new irrigation and drainage conveyance systems capacity is
adequate to supply the water rights and drain the land.
6. Engineer's certificate stating the capacity on any new conveyance and drainage
system.

Our purpose is to ensure our patrons have use of their water as they have historically and
that no harm is being incurred from the newly proposed development. Adjoining landowners
will not have their conveyance ditches (live water and drainage)altered or restricted regarding
water entering or departing their respective properties.
If you have any questions,please feel to contact our office at 208-922-5608.
Si r y,
David Reynolds
Chairman
