State Lead Agreement

In a "state lead" investigation/remediation, TxDOT determines when such entry is in the public interest and will not damage the highway facility, impair safety, impede maintenance, or in any way restrict the operation of the highway facility.
In order to request access to state highway rights of way, TCEQ contractors need to furnish the appropriate district office with:
  • a completed "Request For Access to TxDOT Right of Way For State Lead Petroleum or Hazardous Substance Investigation and/or Remediation" (Form
    2034
    )
  • a written project authorization from the TCEQ (work order form)
  • a completed Certificate of Insurance (Form
    1560
    )
  • a completed TxDOT Right-of-Entry Agreement (Form
    2035
    )
  • a site plan
  • a traffic control plan.
The "State Lead Master Agreement" with the TCEQ along with the following documents will constitute the project agreement:
  • Exhibit A, "Request For Access to TxDOT Right of Way For State Lead Petroleum or Hazardous Substance Investigation and/or Remediation" (Form 2034)
  • Exhibit B, "Right of Entry" (Form 2035) (The Right-of-Entry form is executed by and between TxDOT and TCEQ's contractor.)
  • Certificate of Insurance (Form 1560) (The policy should remain in effect for the duration of the investigation and/or remediation.)
  • site plan (specifically identifying the location) and proposed activity
  • traffic control plan.
