PUBLIC NOTICE
Department of State F-2014-0788 (DA) Date of Issuance - February 04, 2015
The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) has determined that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program. The Corps’ consistency determination and interim feasibility study are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, in Albany, New York.
In F-2014-0788 (DA), the United States Army Corps of Engineers – New York District is proposing the South Shore of Staten Island Coastal Storm Risk Management Project (or SSSI). With the passage of the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-2), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been given the authority and funding to complete ongoing coastal storm risk management projects and studies in the Northeast. As part of the planning and implementation process for the South Shore of Staten Island Coastal Storm Risk Management Project, the New York District will be completing the Feasibility Study and environmental compliance. A draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) is undergoing internal review by the Corps and is anticipated to be available for public and agency review during February 2015.
According to the information provided to the Department of State, the Corps has determined that the selected alternative, which consists of the establishment of a line of protection (LOP) -- a series of structural shoreline protections extending over 22, 700 linear feet along the Raritan Bay fronting shoreline from Fort Wadsworth south to Oakwood Beach and flanking the Oakwood Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant – is consistent with the policies of the New York State Coastal Management Program and with those of the New York City Waterfront Revitalization Program (WRP). The structures proposed include a continuity of buried seawall, earthen levees, and planted dune structures reaching a crest elevation of approximately 18 to 22.5 feet in height and from 10-17 feet in width. The structure along this reach will accommodate a paved promenade and will be publicly accessible at approximately every.5 mile for pedestrians and other low impact users. The existing timber boardwalk will be demolished and replaced with the paved promenade. Additional structural fortifications (levees/ berms) are proposed for three engineering reaches surrounding the wastewater treatment plant. A stoplog structure or other type of water control closure is being proposed at Hylan Boulevard. The LOP is being considered in conjunction with other improvements already planned or underway for five upland drainage areas comprising the Staten Island Bluebelt Plans under the purview of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning any of the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 30 days from the date of publication of this notice or March 04, 2015.
Comments should be addressed to: Department of State, Office of Planning and Development, One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Ave., Albany, NY 12231, (518) 474-6000, Fax (518) 473-2464
This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.
