b I 4 ! 4 I ` ENVIRONMENTAL ATTACHMENT f If an encroachment permit will be required from Caltrans the environmental document prepared for the project that includes Caltrans right-of-way must be submitted with the encroachment permit application. Caltrans also requires documentation that cultural, (archaeologicaI), biological, 'and hazardous waste surveys have been conducted within Caltrans right-of-way. ' For cultural surveys a recent record search from the information center and an Archaeological Survey Report are required. A Natural Environment Study report shall be written documenting the results of biological surveys and the record search from the California Department of Fish and Game Natural Diversity Database. A qualified biologist should conduct surveys at the appropriate time of year to determine if listed plant or animal species or wetlands occur in the area. Surveys should meet the protocol standards of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife } Service and the California Department of Fish and Game. If right-of-way is being dedicated to Caltrans, the applicant is required to submit a copy of Attachment A, confirming that the land to be dedicated to Caltrans is free of hazardous waste. Even if right-of-way is not being dedicated to Caltrans it is a good practice to conduct a record search to obtain known hazardous waste locations. i It is highly recommended to contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The results of the information from NAHC should be used to consult with Native American Tribes and groups regarding concerns within the project area.
