Withdrawal of Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Lower
Passaic River Ecosystem Restoration
Project, Essex, Hudson, Passaic, and
Bergen Counties, NJ: Feasibility Phase
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of Intent; Withdrawal.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, New York District (NY
District), is withdrawing its intent to
prepare a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the Study. The
Notice of Intent to prepare the Draft EIS
was published in the Tuesday,
December 28, 2004 issue of the Federal
Register (69 FR 77744).
ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, New York District, Planning
Division, Environmental Analysis
Branch, 26 Federal Plaza, Room 2151,
New York, NY 10278–0090.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, NY District
published a notice of intent to prepare
a Draft Environmental Impact Statement
in the December 28, 2004 issue of the
Federal Register (FR Doc. 2004–28332).
In an effort to streamline work in early
2015, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
New York District, consolidated
multiple parallel USACE ecosystem
restoration feasibility studies into the
Hudson Raritan Estuary Ecosystem
Restoration Feasibility Study (HRE)
Study.
This streamlining is consistent with
the Civil Works Transformation
Initiative and Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Risk Informed, Timely
(SMART) Planning principles, and
maximizes efficiencies, resources and
benefits. The other feasibility studies
include:
• HRE—Lower Passaic River
Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility
Study;
• HRE—Hackensack Meadowlands
Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility
Study;
• Flushing Creek and Bay Ecosystem
Restoration Feasibility Study;
• Bronx River Basin Ecosystem
Restoration Feasibility Study;
• Jamaica Bay, Marine Park, Plumb
Beach Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility
Study.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
As such, a Draft EIS is no longer
necessary. Each Feasibility Study was at
a different stage prior to the decision to
consolidate into the HRE Feasibility
Report/Environmental Assessment (FR/
EA). The planning was conducted
independently with their non-federal
sponsor and resulted in the selection of
specific recommendations within each
watershed. These combined efforts
resulted in the recommendations
included in the broader HRE FR/EA.
The HRE FR/EA will be prepared and
circulated for review by agencies and
the public. The New York District
invites participation and consultation of
agencies and individuals that have
special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or
interest in the preparation of the draft
environmental assessment. Comments
received, including the names and
addresses of those who comment, will
be considered part of the public record
for this proposal. As a result of the
process, if it is determined that the
project may have significant impacts,
the EIS process will be reinitiated and
a NOI published.
