The <br /> project site is located on the west side of State Route 88, one-half mile north of Harney Lane, <br /> east of Lodi. Our Traffic Operations Branch, has reviewed the above referenced application and <br /> offers the following comment: <br /> + An Encroachment Permit will be required to upgrade the existing driveway to <br /> commercial standards in order to handle truck turning movements. Please direct the <br /> applicant to include the affected portion of the State right of way in their environmental <br /> studies. This avoids the delay of a separate environmental review of the encroachment <br /> permit. You and the applicant should review the need for cultural resources, biological <br /> resource, and hazardous waste studies in our right of way. Review agencies and interest <br /> groups frequently challenge Caltrans permits on these issues. Please provide Caltrans <br /> with either 1.) appropriate studies done by qualified professional staff, or 2.) the rational <br /> for CEQA determination that those issues are not of concern in the State right of way. <br /> This will expedite our review of the encroachment permit. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity- to review and comment on the above referenced project. <br /> Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this project further please contact Chris Sayre <br /> of my staff at ('209) 948-7112. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> C~ <br /> CAR-LOS P. YAMZON, Acting Chief <br /> Transportation Planning Branch B <br />
