Mr. Rubianes "f <br /> April 22, 2002 <br /> Page 2 <br /> For cultural surveys a recent record search from the infonnation center and an <br /> Archaeological Survey Report are required. <br /> A Natural Environment Study report shall be written documenting the results of <br /> biological surveys and the record search from the California Department of Fish and <br /> Game Natural Diversity Database. A qualified biologist should conduct surveys at the <br /> appropriate time of year to determine if listed plant or animal species or wetlands <br /> occur in the area. Surveys should meet the protocol standards of the U.S. Fish and <br /> Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game. <br /> If right of way is being dedicated to Caltrans, the applicant is required to submit a <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 to Caltrans it is a good <br /> practice to conduct a record search to obtain known hazardous waste locations. <br /> It is highly reconunended to- contact the Native American Heritage Commission <br /> (NAHC). The results of the information from NAHC should be used to consult with <br /> Native American Tribes and groups regarding concerns within the project area. <br /> For more infonnation on Encroachment Permits and their requirements, please visit our <br /> web page at www.dot.ca.gov. <br /> If you have any questions or would like to discuss these comments in more detail, please <br /> contact Mike Higgins at (209) 948-3996 (e-mail: mhigginsnadot.ca.gov). <br /> Sincerely, <br /> TOM DUMAS, Chief <br /> Office of Intermodal Planning <br /> "Caltrans improves mobility across California" <br /> 606700.SIRUHIANES.IOSEPH&SUSAN GIULIAN <br /> HIGGINS.n <br />
