c) All survey data on the Bureau of Reclamation Farm Unit Maps pertaining to
Reclamation facilities, associated nghts-of-way, and farm unit boundaries within
the area being subdivided must be included on the plat.
d) Landowners should be aware of existing Reclamation and District rights to
construct, reconstruct, operate and maintain Project facilities as necessary. Any
work that will involve theses facilities or the existing rights-of-way must be
reviewed and approved by Reclamation and the District prior to proceeding.
Structures are prohibited from encroaching upon existing nght-of-way corridors
without Reclamation and District's prior approval. This includes but is not
limited to temporary improvements such as paving, fencing and landscaping.
e) It appears that a number of structures associated with this subdivision may be
situated within Reclamation lands or nghts-of-way. Any encroachments upon
Reclamation land or rights of way will have to be resolved before the final plat is
signed. Reclamation's approval of this proposal will be conditioned upon the fact
that there are no encroachments or unauthorized uses of Reclamation's land
interest. The proponent should contact Reclamation so that work can begin on
resolving any possible issues.
f) The proposed plat is located within the Quincy Ground Water Subarea
(QGWSA). Should the proponents desire to use ground water for other than
domestic purposes (5,000 gals per day/imgation of i/2 acre per dwelling, as
established in WAC 173-134A), they will be required to obtain both a Grown
Water Permit from the WA State Dept. of Ecology and the QGWSA license from
Reclamation.
g) Lots 3 & 4 of the proposed short plat consist of less than 10 acres and will be
separate and individual sites. It is our recommendation that the agricultural water
supply be released from those portions of land. As a result, landowners would be
relieved of future obligations for payment of annual assessments to the District for
those acres. The proponent can initiate this process by contacting the District
headquarters in Othello. Washington.
14) Development shall comply with all requirement of the East Columbia Basin
Irrigation District including but not limited to:

Reclamation statements and approval blocks need to appear on the final plat.

several on this property.
b) The USBR drain easement between the East Low Canal and Road 8.5 SE needs to
be labeled. The easement through proposed Lot 7 and extending into proposed
Lot 6 up to the convergence point of L2. L34, L5 and L6 should be labeled D44-
188-2 Drain. The easement to the east of that point (N77°02'00"W, etc) should
be labeled D44-188-1 Drain The easement that extends to the east of that point
and into proposed Lot 5 (N79015'22"E, etc ) should be labeled DE57 8 Drain.
The tangents L3 and L4 should also be labeled DE57 8. Drain and the easement
