Application
27 - Agricultural Water User Facilities
Please see the responses below to the items in Section 38.220.060 – Additional Subdivision
Preliminary Plat Supplements in the Bozeman Municipal Code.
a. Type, description, ownership, and users of facilities.
Two watercourses run south to north through the property: East Catron Creek and West
Catron Creek. The property owner believes that West Catron Creek may function as an
irrigation ditch maintained by Farmer’s Canal. A Farmer’s Canal representative, Dan
Triemstra, confirmed that one of the creeks on the property is used for Farmer’s Canal
irrigation services.
b. Written documentation demonstrating active use of the facilities, for example the delivery of
non-potable water supplies for irrigation, conversion to storm water facilities, or other use. If a
facility is not being actively used nor intended to be used in the future, include a written plan for
discontinuance including all documentation required pursuant to Montana Law.
An authorized representative of Farmer’s Canal, Dan Triemstra, was contacted to provide
comments on the proposed subdivision and to identify any known water users who should
be notified. Mr. Triemstra responded, stating that he does not anticipate any adverse
impacts to the ditch infrastructure or operation from the subdivision improvements. He did
not identify any downstream water users to be notified. The Farmer’s Canal
correspondence is included in this section.
A water rights search was conducted using the DNRC Water Rights Query System to
identify any owners associated with the property. Two Statements of Claim were found,
both listing the same owners. The DNRC Water Rights Statements of Claim are included in
this section. In compliance with BMC Section 38.360.280, water rights owners were notified
of the proposed subdivision by mail sent to the addresses listed in the Statements of Claim.
Copies of the water rights owner correspondence are included in this section. No comments
have been received from the contacted owners.
c. Describe any proposed realignment. All realignments must comply with all relevant
requirements of Montana Law.
No realignments are proposed with the subdivision.
d. Information from the owner(s) of the facility concerning the proposed use or discontinuance of
the facility.
The water rights owners did not provide any comments during the 45-day notice period,
which terminated on June 2, 2025. A Farmer’s Canal representative, Dan Triemstra stated
that he does not anticipate any adverse impacts to the ditch infrastructure or operation
from the subdivision improvements.

Dan,
Great to speak with you again. As part of this project, we are now proposing to replace the existing 24” x 36”
RCP culvert with a larger pipe to provide adequate conveyance during major flood events and to comply with
City of Bozeman standards. The culvert is located just west of the existing Rawhide Ridge Road at the
proposed West Catron Creek crossing.
An exhibit is attached highlighting the culvert location proposed for replacement.

Per City of Bozeman regulations, we are requesting your approval to proceed with this culvert replacement as
part of the Rawhide Ridge Road extension construction, since West Catron Creek is believed to function as a
Farmer’s Canal irrigation lateral.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.

As part of the Bozeman Municipal Code noticing requirements, we are providing this notification letter on
behalf of our client, Gallatin Center Limited Partnership, LLC. The proposed Gallatin Center Subdivision aims
to create 6-lots from the existing property. The subdivision is located just west of North 19th Avenue, south of
Cattail Street, east of Thomas Drive, and north of Baxter Lane. The property owner believes that the ditch
lateral on the property is maintained by Farmer’s Canal. We are not proposing to disturb the lateral with the
subdivision or improvements.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,

RE: Gallatin Center Major Subdivision – Water Rights Owner Notification
Dear Recipient,
On behalf of our client, and as part of the subdivision review process, we are providing this
written notification to inform you of the presence of a watercourse tied to your water right near
or within the proposed Gallatin Center Subdivision boundaries, and to request any comments you
may have regarding the proposed development.
The project site is situated south of Cattail Street, west of North 19th Avenue, north of Baxter
Lane, and east of Thomas Drive. The current legal description of the property is Minor
Subdivision 210, S35, T01 S, R05 E, Lot 3. The geocode listed on the Montana Cadastral
website is 06-0904-35-1-05-01-0000. Two water courses run south to north through the property.
A search on the DNRC Water Rights Query System was used to identify any known water rights
owners.
As part of the proposed subdivision, Rawhide Ridge Road will be extended west from Max
Avenue to Thomas Drive (future North 27th Avenue). This extension will cross the watercourse
on the west portion of the property at an existing, permitted crossing. Additionally, a public trail
is proposed that will also cross the watercourse at an existing, permitted location. No impacts to
the watercourses are proposed as part of this development phase. There will be no
modifications or alterations to the permitted crossings or watercourses with these initial
improvements.
A layout of the proposed subdivision and associated improvements is attached for your
reference. Please note that the only roadway extension included in this phase is the extension of
Rawhide Ridge Road. All other roadway extensions are planned for future development phases
and will be subject to separate review and comment solicitation.
Please respond at your earliest convenience with any comments or questions to the email
provided below, or feel free to contact me directly at 406-586-0262. Please note that you will
have 45 days to respond to this notification per BMC Section 38.360.280.B.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
