Section 13: Debris on Private Property
General Overview
Dumping of materials from TxDOT projects on private property
is prohibited as it raises concerns about environmental implications
and proper disposal of debris. Utilization of private property as spoil
sites shall not be allowed on TxDOT construction projects or routine
maintenance.
Exceptions
In cases where no practical options exist, the District Engineer
may enter into an agreement with an adjacent property owner to deposit
soils; the use must be limited to soil, concrete and other inert materials.
Items such as sweeping debris, limbs, brush, stumps or other work-related
waste, if not properly disposed of on TxDOT right of way must be
taken to landfills authorized to accept the material. Please see
example agreement template
on E-Forms
