Pioneer Irrigation District's main concern is that all water rights within the District be honored, and that access to irrigation water be provided to every parcel of land. Delivery point for said property is headgate 16 on the le St. Lateral. 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. The easement for the 10t' St. Lateral where it remains open is 16 feet from top of bank and in the section that is piped it is 20 feet centered over the center of the pipe. 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. 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 owner/developer 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., 10`h 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. Plans must be received by Plone("'--•rigation District by December 15th, C2. All construction which may Impact District facilities must be completed prior to the March 15th, 2013 deadline. The construction time - frame which Pioneer Irrigation District allows is November Vt of the current year to March 151h 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.
