Ctr. Phase 3 vacation) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: A District All existing easements, right-of-ways, and other means used to honor the water rights to downstream waterusers must be maintained and allowed to continue to exist. It is imperative that no one disrupt the delivery of water to a downstream water user. Any lateral, canal, drain or other means used to deliver water, along which there is a right-of-way or easement; must have the same kept clear of all obstructions at all times. No fences, structures, or other materials are allowed on any of the District's easements or right-of-ways AND they must be recorded on the final plat. Storm water discharge will not be accepted into Pioneer Irrigtion District's facilities. The A -Drain Has a 66 foot easement extending from center line of the drain along both sides. There are to be no pathways within Pioneer Irrigation District easements. Any discharge or run-off into a federal drain must meet the approval of Lupe Rodriguez of the Bureau of Reclamation. Pioneer Irrigation District does not assume any responsibility for such an approval. Her telephone number is 383-2221. Please be advised that NO change to or crossing of a District facility can take place unless a License Agreement or Crossing Agreement between the District and the ownerldeveloper of the property has been signed and recorded. Please contact the District's Attorney, Scott L. Campbell, in writing if you need to obtain such an agreement. His contact information is: Scott L. Campbell, Moffatt Thomas Barrett Rock & Fields, Chtd., 101 S. Capitol Blvd., 101h Floor, Boise, Idaho 83702, phone: (208) 345-2000, fax: (208) 385-5384. A License Agreement or Crossing Agreement must be written up and recorded at the expense of the Developer and/or owner. All agreements must be reviewed by and approved by Mr. Campbell. The least expensive way to have an agreement drawn up which meets the need of the District is by having Mr. Campbell himself draw it up. Otherwise there will be two attorney fees for said developer and/or owner to pay. A deposit of $1000.00 must be paid to Moffatt, Thomas to cover the attorney fees before the work can begin. Any unexpended portion of the deposit will be refunded. Pioneer Irrigation District will recommend disapproval of the final plat approval, until the agreement has been executed and recorded. If construction begins without the required agreement, Pioneer Irrigation District will pursue judicial relief to stop the construction. Note: The construction time frame to accept plans for construction has been missed. Plans must be received by Pioneer Irrigation District by December 16th, 2012. All construction which may impact District facilities must be completed prior to the March 16th, 2013 deadline. The co ion ti�te- frame which Pioneer Irrigation DiP`ict allows is November let of the ` ?nt year to March 15th of the following year. Ten percent (10%) of the PID project costs, as determined by Pioneer Irrigation District's engineer, shall be deposited with Pioneer, in the form of a cashier's check, payable to Pioneer Irrigation District, at the time of execution of the agreement by the Developer/Land Owner. Pioneer shall refund this deposit if the construction is completed by March 15th, and in accordance with the terms of the agreement, otherwise the deposit shall be forfeited to Pioneer Irrigation District. If construction is not completed by March 15th in a manner which allows for adequate delivery of water, Pioneer will intervene and perform whatever work is necessary to allow adequate delivery of water to patrons. This work will be performed at the convenience and discretion of Pioneer Irrigation District. The Developer/Land Owner shall pay the costs of this remedial work. Any proposed development which will have downstream waterusers using gravity flow irrigation must develop their irrigation system in a manner which will insure the downstream waterusers the ability to acquire at least as much irrigation water for gravity flow irrigation as what they received prior to any development or construction taking place. The gravity flow irrigation system must be totally separate from the proposed pressurized irrigation system within a subdivision. Please be advised, the developer shall submit detailed drawings of any proposed relocations of Pioneer Irrigation District's facilities, prior to preliminary plat approval. Any said relocations are subject to approval from the Superintendent and/or the Board of Directors of Pioneer Irrigation District Any construction that impacts Waters of the United States may require obtaining a 404 permit from the Corp of Engineers. Greg Martinez of the Corp of Engineers can be contacted at 345-2154. Prior to finalization of any Agreements with Pioneer Irrigation District, Pioneer Irrigation District must receive a copy of a 404 permit that has been properly executed. If it is determined by the Corp of Engineers that a 404 permit is not required, Pioneer Irrigation District must be notified in writing by the Corp of Engineers that said 404 permit is not required. NOTE: This letter does not authorize any construction to commence until all the necessary agreements with Pioneer Irrigation District have been executed and recorded. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, r� Carl Hayes Asst. Superintendent r r Anne Marie.
