F-3. AGREEMENTS AND EASEMENTS WITH THE BUCKEYE WATER CONSERVATION AND DRAINAGE DISTRICT FOR THE LOOP 303 OUTFALL DRAINAGE SYSTEM PROJECT Approve IGA 2013A008, Development Agreement between the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC) and the Buckeye Water Conservation and Drainage District (BWCDD) for the Loop 303 Outfall Drainage System, and the following attachments: Facilities and Access Easement Agreement, Discharge Easement Agreement, Ingress and Egress Easement Agreement, and Easement and Agreement for Flood Control Purposes. IGA 2013A008 and its attachments establish the related construction improvements, establish operational and access rights for both parties, and authorize the District to include three upgraded BWCDD canal control gates at BWCDD’s cost. The Loop 303 Outfall Drainage System Project (PROJECT) of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC) crosses irrigation facilities of the Buckeye Water Conservation and Drainage District (BWCDD), is aligned along a segment of the existing BWCDD wasteway ditch for canal excess flows, and will provide conveyance for future excess flows. Features have been incorporated into the PROJECT design to mitigate the effects of the crossings and to maintain the functions of the facilities of both agencies. The related project features include a “shoe fly” style of irrigation canal realignment, canal lining, and structures for delivery, check, and overflow functions. BWCDD has requested and will fund an $80,000 upgrade of three control gates of the canal. Access for the operation and maintenance activities of both agencies will be established by these easement agreements. This item impacts Supervisorial District 4. (C-69-14-008-3-00)
