Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 39, September 25, 2024
(a) Upon initiation of a type I project, the SUCF general manager shall direct that an environmental impact assessment form be prepared. The completed environmental impact assessment form shall be reviewed by an environmental quality review committee (hereinafter referred to as "the committee"), whose membership shall include: one appointee of the SUNY vice chancellor for capital facilities and two appointees of the SUCF general manager.
(b) The environmental impact assessment form shall contain sufficient information for the committee to conduct an environmental analysis to determine whether the project may or will not have a significant effect on the environment, and will include identification of those other agencies, including Federal agencies, which have a relationship to the project.
(c) Programmatic or generic environmental impact statements, master or campuswide statements or statements for comprehensive campus plans may be appropriate for use by the committee to assess the environmental effects of (1) a number of separate projects in a given campus area which, if considered singly may have minor effects, but if considered together may have significant effects, (2) a chain of contemplated projects, (3) separate projects having generic or common impacts, or (4) programs or plans having wide application or restricting the range of future alternative policies or projects. Such statements will eliminate multiple sequential reviews of the same or similar actions. No further EIS's need be prepared for projects which are included in such a statement.
(d) However, amendments or supplements to such statements must be prepared to reflect impacts which are not addressed or adequately analyzed in such a statement as initially prepared. The public and other agencies shall be informed of such additions through the same notification channels specified in section 1551.6 of this Part.
