Subject: 63-34348 Condition 23: State Lands Underlying Little Camas and Long Tom Reservoirs

Dear Nick:

On behalf of the Elmore County Board of Commissioners (Elmore County), SPF Water Engineering has prepared this letter to address Condition 23 associated with the approval of water application 63-34348. Condition 23 states:

"Prior to the diverting of water under this permit [63-34348], the permit holder shall submit to IDWR authorization from the Idaho Department of Lands to use state land underlying Little Camas Reservoir and Long Tom Reservoir, or proof from Idaho Department of Lands that such authorization is not necessary."

Elmore County has contacted the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) regarding the status of State lands underlying the two reservoirs. Michele Anderson from IDL provided a response stating that the State-owned land under Little Camas and Long Tom reservoirs was condemned in 1913 and conveyed to the Mountain Home Co-Operative Irrigation Company. A copy of the condemnation judgment describing the affected lands was also included with the response.

Using the information and documents provided by IDL, SPF prepared maps depicting the State land condemned to Mountain Home Co-Operative Irrigation Company. The legal land descriptions provided in the condemnation documents were traced onto the maps in order to depict the land ceded by the State as accurately as possible. The resulting maps show that there is no State land underlying either the Little Camas or Long Tom reservoirs. Based on this, Condition 23 on 63-34348 appears to be satisfied since IDL has provided proof in the form of condemnation documents that State authorization to use lands underlying the reservoirs is not necessary. Copies of the above-mentioned maps and condemnation documents are included as attachments with this letter.
