Bruckner-Sheridan Expressway Interchange and Hunts Point Peninsula Access EIS (Design Phases I-IV). NEPA Scoping Report

This report summarizes the scoping process, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), for the New York State Department of Transportation Bruckner-Sheridan Interchange Reconstruction and Hunts Point Peninsula Access Improvement environmental impact statement (EIS). It concludes with the selection of alternatives which will be included in the project's draft EIS (DEIS) and therefore the report also serves to document the closing of the scoping process. The NEPA scoping process began on February 20, 2003 when a notice of intent to prepare an EIS was published in the Federal Register by the Federal Highway Administration. A draft briefing document for the project was published and made available to the public and other interested groups and public agencies in March 2003. The draft briefing document included an initial purpose and need statement as well as a preliminary set of goals and objectives, project alternatives and environmental analyses to be conducted in the EIS. Two public scoping hearings were held in March 2003 and, as discussed below, public participation and agency coordination has continued throughout the scoping process. A final briefing document, which responded to comments received during the scoping hearings and subsequent comment period, was issued on August 7, 2003. It is currently posted on the project's website.
