Milestone Extension: Endangered Species Act Consultation (NOAA-NMFS)
NMFS consulted twice on this project in the past and completed our consultations within the required timeframes. However, the project was put in “Paused” status in August while NYC DDC re-evaluated the project design. That re-evaluation is complete and a new preferred alternative developed which HUD presented at the February 7, 2019 SRIRC meeting. HUD has also finalized the DEIS and a Notice of Availability of the DEIS was scheduled to be published in the April 5, 2019 Federal Register.
