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 applicant has certified that the proposed activities comply with and will be conducted in a manner consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the federally approved New York State Coastal Management Program (NYSCMP). The applicant's consistency certification and accompanying public information and data 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-2016-0472-0474, or the “New York City Citywide Ferry Service – 2017 Routes”, the applicant, New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC or EDC) is proposing to carry out construction of several new ferry landing facilities and/or upgrades to existing ferry landing facilities at the following locations and routes:

• Rockaway Route –

o Beach 108th Street, Rockaway, Queens

• Astoria Route

o Hallets Cove, Astoria, Queens

o East Side of Roosevelt Island, Manhattan

o Gantry State Park, Center Boulevard, Queens

• South Brooklyn Route –

o American Veterans Memorial Pier, 69th Street, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn

o Atlantic Basin, Red Hook, Brooklyn

o Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 6, Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn

The proposed Citywide Ferry Service (CFS) would expand the existing East River Ferry (ERF), a privately operated commuter and recreational transit service paid for by the City of New York and NYCEDC and managed by EDC. The proposed new routes (three by 2017 and two additional by 2018) are anticipated to ensure the continuity of the East River Ferry service and create a unified system.

The CFS would include 21 new landings, requiring construction of 10 new ferry landings, upgrades to five existing landings, and the use of six existing landings. Upgrades to existing landings would be intended to increase capacity for ferry landings and/or accommodate additional passenger circulation. The majority of new landings would feature a barge (35′ x 90′) that would be connected to shore by a gangway in order to accommodate passenger queuing and shelter, a ticket machine, and information kiosk, lighting, and static or digital signage. All landings would be constructed to be ADA compliant and would install berthing infrastructure in accordance with best practices for maximum safety.

Additional project information and reports may be referenced on line at http://www.nycedc.com/resource/citywide-ferry-study-2013.

The proposed activities would be undertaken within the New York City Waterfront Revitalization Program (WRP) planning area. As the WRP is a component of the NYSCMP, activities under federal permitting authority are also subject to review for their consistency with the local program and its specific provisions and policies.

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 November 11, 2016.

Comments should be addressed to the Department of State, Office of Planning and Development, ATTN: Consistency Review Unit, One Commerce Plaza, Suite 1010, 99 Washington Ave., Albany, NY 12231, (518) 474-6000; Fax (518) 473-2464. Comments can also be submitted electronically via e-mail to: [email protected].

This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.
