The application must include the environmental document prepared for the <br /> project that addresses Caltrans right of way. At a minimum, documentation of <br /> cultural, biological, and hazardous waste studies within Caltrans right of way is <br /> required. <br /> For cultural studies, at the minimum, a recent record search from the information <br /> center and an Archaeological Survey Report (ASR)is required. <br /> A Natural Environment Study report shall be written documenting the results of <br /> biological surveys, this should include a record search from the California <br /> Department of Fish and Game Natural Diversity Database. A qualified biologist <br /> should conduct surveys at the appropriate time of year to determine if listed species <br /> or wetlands occur in the project area. Surveys should meet the state and federal <br /> protocol standards. <br /> i <br /> If right of way is being dedicated to Caltrans, the applicant is required to submit a i <br /> copy of Attachment A, confirming that the land to be dedicated to Caltrans is free of <br /> hazardous waste. Even if right of way is not being dedicated, it is a good practice to <br /> conduct a record search to obtain known hazardous waste locations. <br /> Caltrans encourages contacting the Native American Heritage Commission 915 i <br /> Capitol Mall, Room 364, Sacramento California 95814, (916) 653-4082, (916) 657- <br /> 5390 [FAX] for advice on consulting with Native Americans regarding any cultural <br /> concerns within the project area. i <br /> For more information on encroachment permits, please visit our webpage at <br /> http://w-ww.dot.c�i.gov/doingbusiness.litniI then click on encroachment permits. <br /> ! <br /> I <br /> 'Galsrans vr�prnvrc mobility across calrjuraur' i <br /> s <br />
