The application must include the environmental document prepared for the project that addresses Caltrans right of way. At a minimum, documentation of cultural, biological, and hazardous waste studies within Caltrans right of way is required. For cultural studies, at the minimum, a recent record search from the information center and an Archaeological Survey Report (ASR)is required_ A Natural Environment Study report shall be written documenting the results of biological surveys, this should include a 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 species or wetlands occur in the project area. Surveys should meet the state and federal protocol standards.. 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, it is a good practice to conduct a record search to obtain known hazardous waste locations.
