Advanced Acquisition of Right-of-way

Advanced acquisition may allow preventive or corrective action activities to be completed prior to construction in a more cost-effective manner. The advanced acquisition of a hazardous material site does not necessarily mean that TxDOT will assume responsibilities for corrective action or cleanup. ENV should be contacted for site-specific guidance when the advanced acquisition of parcels with hazardous materials or contamination is considered. ROW can provide additional information regarding procedures for advanced acquisition and corridor preservation.
