The project is located on the south <br /> side of State Route 88, 150 feet east ofPiccoli Road in Stockton. We offer the following <br /> comments: <br /> - The existing site grading has a portion of the onsite drainage directed <br /> into State right of way. This is not allowed and additionally was a condition <br /> of the original Caltrans permit issued to Standard Oil Company in 1965. The <br /> reconstruction of this station should be redesigned so that no onsite drainage is <br /> directed into State right of way. <br /> i <br /> - The project proponent will be required to obtain an encroachment permit <br /> from Caltrans as the site plan proposes to enlarge the existing easterly <br /> driveway. , <br /> To expedite the review of the encroachment permit by Caltrans, thero nent <br /> should evaluate potential environmental impacts within the State right of way. The right of way that <br /> may be impacted should be included within the area studied for the local lead agency environmental <br /> review. Caltrans has asked for cultural resource,biological resource and hazardous waste <br /> investigations when these Lssues have not been adequately addressed for our right of way by the a <br /> lead agency review. The lead agency should review the need for those and other studies with the <br /> applicant and provide Caltrans with either;I) appropriate studies done by qualified professional staff; <br /> or 2) the estimate for the it CEQA determination that these studies are not of concern in State <br /> right of way. <br /> If you have any questions regarding our review,please contact Chris Sayre of my <br /> staff at (209) 948-7142. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> EDWIN J.ERWIN <br /> Chief,Transportation <br /> Planning Branch <br />
