8. Natural resources (Refer to Chapter 3I of CEQR technical Manual)
The Consultant shall examine the potential impacts of the proposed plan on natural resources including wetlands
and upland areas. This effort shall include detailed tree inventory report for the project area and an assessment
of tree loss as an environmental impact.
The Consultant shall examine the potential impacts of the proposed plan on existing natural habitats and wildlife
within all the wooded areas surrounding the project site.
The Consultant shall identify any permits or other regulatory approvals, which may be required to facilitate the
proposed plan, contact the respective agencies, and secure information on the applications and supporting
materials. These permits may include the following:
Wetland Permits (NYSDEC), and Army Corps of Engineers.
Authorizations and other approvals under the City Planning Commission.
9. Hazardous materials (Refer to Chapter 3J of CEQR technical Manual)
The Consultant shall incorporate the results of the “Preliminary Investigation and Assessment of Site
Contamination” with regard to Hazardous Waste within the Project Streets. For those locations, the Consultant
shall conduct a Phase I analysis. The Phase I analysis will be based on historical and current land use patterns
along with site surveys. Once locations are identified where hazardous materials may be an issue, the Consultant
shall propose a site-sampling program in order to characterize the potential for significant impact. The Consultant
shall propose a sampling program for the hazardous materials sampling along with the development of a
conceptual mediation approach.
10. Waterfront revitalization program (Refer to Chapter 3K of CEQR technical Manual)
The Consultant shall verify if the project limits are situated within the designated boundaries of New York City’s
Coastal Zone. If this is the case, the Consultant shall examine the potential impacts of the proposed action for
their consistency with the City’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP). The WRP consistency
assessment form, which is included in the CEQR manual, shall be utilized for this purpose. For a detailed

including the installation of new sanitary and storm sewers and the reconstruction of the Project Streets, on the
existing infrastructure facilities such as the water supply system, sewage treatment and storm water systems.
b) The Consultant shall examine the potential impacts of the proposed plan upon public and private utilities in the
Project Streets.
c) The Consultant shall assess the potential environmental impacts of any growth-inducing aspects of the proposed
plan including, but not limited to, the construction of new storm water and sanitary sewer system, street
reconstruction and the impact of change in grade if any. The Engineer shall estimate the additional demand flow
created by the proposal based on current formulas provided by the Department.
d) The Consultant shall examine the potential impacts on City Water Pollution Control Plants (WPCPs) from
additional sanitary flow collected by the sanitary system proposed as part of the project. In accordance with State
Pollution Discharge elimination Permits and applicable water quality standards, the potential effects of the greater
sanitary flow on water quality of receiving bodies should be analyzed.
12. Solid Waste and sanitation services (Refer to Chapter 3M of CEQR technical Manual)
The Consultant shall examine the potential impacts of the proposed plan upon solid waste generation and
sanitation services.
