State Process A brief description of Land Access process in California.
The California State Lands Commission has jurisdiction over state sovereign lands (4 million acres of land underlying the state's navigable and tital waterways) and over state school lands (5.5 million acres of land granted to California by Congress in 1853). '''State Land Right of Way Lease Agreement''' If any portion of the transmission line crosses state lands under the jurisdiction of the California State Lands Commission (CSLC), the developer will need to obtain a Right of Way Lease Agreement by submitting a complete [[CSLC ROW Forms | Application Form]] to the CSLC.[[ Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 6224.3 ]] The CSLC has jurisdiction and management control over sovereign state land and California school lands (school lands). The Right of Way Lease Agreement for a transmission line project is subject to CEQA review, and it is recommended that most coordination should be done concurrently with the CEQA process to ensure that any CSLC required issues are addressed under CEQA. If another governmental agency has jurisdiction over some part of the project, the CSLC may allow the other agency to act as the lead agency for CEQA. '''Encroachment Permit''' If components of the project will encroach on existing state highway or other ROWs, the developer must obtain permission from the [[California Department of Transportation]] (Caltrans) by submitting a complete [[CDOT Applications and Forms | Application TR-0100]]. [[ Cal. Sts. & High. Code § 670(a) ]] Cities and counties may issue routine State highway encroachment permits on specified state highway facilities located within their boundaries if authorized by Caltrans. [[Cal. Sts. & High. Code § 676 ]] Caltrans will approve or deny an encroachment permit within 60 days of receipt. [[Cal. Sts. & High. Code §671.5 ]]
