A local public agency may acquire right-of-way and easements. Before transferring a title to the State, TxDOT should obtain confirmation that hazardous material concerns have been addressed from the acquiring agency. TxDOT should review documentation of appropriate inquiry, reports or checklists. The transfer of the title may need to be postponed until corrective action, closure and/or post-closure care issues are resolved. TxDOT may need to enter agreements with the local public agency and other parties regarding acquisition of right-of-way and easements. Additional information about local public agency acquisition should be obtained from ROW.
