A Caltrans Encroachment Permit will be required for any work done within the right <br /> right of way, <br /> The use of California State highways for other than normal transportation purposes may require <br /> written authorization from Caltrans in the form of an encroachment pen-nit. The application must <br /> include the environmental document prepared for the project that addresses Caltrans right of <br /> way. At a minimum, documentation of cultural, biological, and hazardous waste studies within <br /> Caltrans right of way is required. <br /> For cultural studies at the minimum, a recent record search from the information center and an <br /> Archaeological Survey Report (ASR)are required. <br /> A Natural Environment Study report shall be written documenting the results of biological <br /> surveys, this should include a record search from the California Department of Fish and Game <br /> Natural Diversity Database. A qualified biologist should conduct surveys at the appropriate time <br /> of year to determine if listed species or wetlands occur in the project area. Surveys should meet <br /> the state and federal protocol standards. <br /> If right'of way is being dedicated to Caltrans, the applicant is required to submit a copy of <br /> Attachment A, confirming that the land to be dedicated to Caltrans is free of hazardous waste. <br /> Even if right of way is not being dedicated it is a good practice to conduct a record search to <br /> obtain known hazardous waste locations. <br />,A Caltrans encourages contacting the Native American Heritage Commission 915 Capitol Mall, <br /> Room 364, Sacramento, California 95814, (916) 653-4082, (916) 657-5390 [FAX] for.advice on <br /> consulting with Native Americans regarding any cultural concerns within the project area. <br /> For more information on encroachment permits, please visit our WebPage at <br /> http://www.dot.ca.gov/doingbusiness.html then click on encroachment permits. <br /> Furthermore, if engineering plans or drawings-will be part of your permit application, they must . <br /> be prepared in metric units. <br /> If you hav_- any questions or would like to discuss our comments in more detail, please contact <br /> Ken Okereke at(209) 942-6022 (email: kokereke@dot.ca.gov). <br /> Sincerely, <br /> TO DUMAS, Chief <br /> Office of Intermodal Planning <br /> "Caltrans improves mobility across California", <br /> 606700.SJ.J0LLEYI0CKEF0RD OAKS SUBDIVISION <br /> OKEREKE.mec <br />
