Agencies are required to submit any proposed acquisitions of easements requiring execution or approval by the Director of DGS to RPSS.

Requests to grant easements across state property generally require execution or approval of the Director of DGS. When such approval is required agencies should not negotiate with the grantee about the terms and conditions of the proposed grant until the RPSS determines the consideration for the grant.

Landholding agencies shall consider the effect of the proposed grant upon the environment and provide RPSS with the appropriate environmental document (s). RESD can assist agencies in developing the necessary environmental documents. Agencies shall not permit potential grantee use of state lands until authorized by an executed document.
