Job Description and Duties

Under close supervision of the Senior Right of Way Agent, a Right of Way Agent in the Encroachment Permits Unit of the Real Estate Branch, is responsible for routinely resolving non- complex technical issues regarding the use by others of State Water Project (SWP) lands and rights of way. This position will primarily support the Encroachment Permit program. As the Branch workload changes, work in other Real Estate Branch Sections and Units may be performed on a temporary basis. Please refer to the attached duty statement for more details regarding the Right of Way Agent or the Associate Right of Way Agent’s specific responsibilities.

Water Code Sections 250 and 11580, for SWP purposes, and Section 8550, for Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB) purposes, constitute the basic State statutes that authorize the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to acquire land and other property necessary in support of SWP and CVFPB programs. The acquisition, appraisal, negotiation, condemnation, utility relocation, property management, and encroachment permitting tasks of the Right of Way Agent classification series are necessary to support DWR’s sanctioned SWP and CVFPB goals and objections.

You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement.
