D-1, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. The trees shall only be located only on the
northeast side of the Rutledge Lateral and the drip area for said trees shall be located away from the top of
the bank for the Rutledge Lateral.
b. Because of the location of the landscaping and sprinklers and the fact that the District will
continue to need access to Rutledge Lateral and the weed rack at Meridian Road, the City acknowledges and
agrees that the District will need to routinely drive upon the landscaped area with the District's personnel and
equipment, and that the District shall not be liable for any damages which shall occur to the landscaping or
sprinklers in the reasonable exercise of the rights of the District in the course of performance of access to,
operation, maintenance or repair of the Rutledge Lateral. Further, should the trees or landscaping need to be
trimmed or removed in order for the District to access, operate, maintain or repair the Rutledge Lateral, it
shall be the City's obligation and cost of removing or replacing the trees or landscaping.
C. The City represents that City has complied with all federal, state or other laws, rules,
regulations, directives or other requirements in any form regarding environmental matters, and specifically
those relating to pollution control and water quality, as may be applicable under the subject matter, terms or
performance of this agreement broadly construed. The City recognizes its continuing duty to comply with
all such requirements that now exist or that may be implemented or imposed in the future. By executing this
agreement the District assumes no responsibility or liability for any impact upon or degradation of water
quality or the environment resulting from the discharge or other activity by the City which is the subject of
this agreement.
d. The City hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and shall defend the District from any and all
penalties, sanctions, directives, claims or any action taken or requirement imposed by any party or entity,
public or private, with respect to environmental matters relating to the subject matter, terms or performance
of this agreement unless the District shall be solely responsible for the condition or activity which gives rise
to any such penalty, sanction, directive, claim , action or requirement.
e. In the event the District is required by any governmental authority to acquire or comply with
any permit or other operational requirements associated with the City's discharge and other activity which
is the subject of this agreement, the City shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the District from all costs
and liabilities associated with such permit and other requirements, including but not limited to all costs

associated with all permit acquisition, construction, monitoring, treatment, administrative, filing and other
requirements.
f. The parties to this agreement recognize that this agreement is an accommodation to the City.
The District by this agreement does not assume, create, or exercise legal or other authority, either express or
implied, to regulate control, or prohibit the discharge or contribution of pollutants or contaminants to the
District's facilities or to any groundwater, waters of the State of Idaho or the United States, or any other
destination. Such authority, to the extent that it exists, is possessed and exercised by governmental
environmental agencies.
g. Construction shall be completed one year from the date of this agreement. Time is of the
essence.
