The Draft EIS was prepared by the City of Yonkers, NY acting under its authority as the Responsible Entity for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) in accordance with 24 CFR 58.4. The Draft EIS has been prepared to satisfy the requirements of both NEPA and the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act of 1978, as amended (6 NYCRR part 617). The EIS and NEPA process will also be used to address historic preservation and cultural resource issues under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 470f. This notice is given in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality regulations at 40 CFR parts 1500-1508. The Draft EIS analyzes two interrelated actions: (1) The Ashburton Avenue Master Plan and Urban Renewal Plan and (2) the Mulford Gardens HOPE VI Revitalization Plan. The analysis of the Ashburton Avenue Master Plan and Urban Renewal Plan consists of a broad or generic discussion of the potential impacts resulting from the adoption of the two broad planning documents. The analysis of the Mulford Gardens HOPE VI Revitalization Plan, which is geographically contained within the Master Plan and Urban Renewal Area, is a site-specific analysis. Due to the timing of these two actions, both the generic Draft EIS for the Master Plan and Urban Renewal Plan and the site-specific EIS for the HOPE VI Revitalization Plan are contained in this one document. Each of the chapters in the document contains discussion and analysis for both the generic Master Plan and Urban Renewal Plan and the site-specific HOPE VI Revitalization Plan.
