PUBLIC NOTICE

Department of Environmental Conservation

Pursuant to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and the implementing regulations in 6 NYCRR Part 617, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation hereby gives notice of the following:

Notice of Completion of the Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement associated with the New York State Hazardous Waste Facility Siting Plan

A Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement has been completed and accepted by the new York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) as lead agency, located at 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-7252, for the action of issuance of the New York State Hazardous Waste Facility Siting Plan (Siting Plan). A positive declaration was initially issued for this project which provided a mechanism, through the development of the GEIS, to evaluate and address any potential impacts the draft plan may have on the environment. Prior to this Notice of Completion, DEC issued two drafts of the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for public review.

The Siting Plan, required by ECL Section 27-1102, is primarily intended to assess the State's capacity for managing hazardous waste in accordance with State and Federal law, and to assure adequate availability of industrial hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities into the future. The final adoption of a Siting Plan is a prerequisite for the siting or significant expansion of certain new hazardous waste facilities in New York.

Potential Environmental Impacts: The Plan itself is a guidance document and has no direct environmental impacts. The GEIS does not replace the need for a separate and distinct site-specific EIS for any hazardous waste management facility that is proposed to be sited or expanded in New York State in the future.

Both the final GEIS and anticipated final Siting Plan are available on the DEC website at www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/9054.html. Copies can be obtained by contacting Deborah Aldrich (contact information provided below.)

For further information, contact: Deborah L. Aldrich, DEC, Division of Environmental Remediation, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-7252, [phone], e-mail: [e-mail]

PUBLIC NOTICE

Office for People with Developmental Disabilities

Pursuant to 42 CFR 447.205, the NYS Office For People With Developmental Disabilities and NYS Department of Health hereby give notice of the following changes in methods and standards for setting payment rates for residential habilitation services in supervised Individualized Residential Alternatives (IRAs) and supervised Community Residences (CRs). The change will be effective October 1, 2010.

OPWDD is changing the reimbursement methodology to allow a provider to apply to OPWDD for a waiver or reduction of all or part of two components of the efficiency adjustment for residential habilitation services provided in supervised IRAs and supervised CRs. In order to qualify, the provider must demonstrate that the reduction in reimbursement attributable to the application of the efficiency adjustment would jeopardize the continued operation of its IRA or CR facilities.

The purpose of this change is to avert any facility closures and the accompanying disruption in services to individuals that could result.

The change will result in a small increase in annual aggregate Medicaid expenditures for residential habilitation services in supervised IRAs and supervised CRs. However, the State does not know exactly how many providers meet the qualifications for the restoration of revenue and the level of restoration. This aggregate restoration is expected to be less than $50,000.

Public hearings on this change will be held at OPWDD Counsel's Office Conference Room, 3rd Floor, 44 Holland Avenue, Albany, New York 12229 at 10:30 A.M. on November 30, 2010 and December 1, 2010.

Copies of the proposed changes are on file in each local (county) social services district and are available for public review. For the New York City district, copies are available at the following locations:

New York County 250 Church Street New York, NY 10018

Queens County Queens Center 3220 Northern Boulevard Long Island City, NY 11101

Kings County Fulton Center 114 Willoughby Street Brooklyn, NY 11201

Bronx County Tremont Center 1916 Monterey Avenue Bronx, NY 10457

Richmond County Richmond Center 95 Central Avenue St. George, Staten Island, NY 10301

Any written comments and inquiries for further information may be addressed to: Barbara Brundage, Regulatory Affairs Unit, Office of Counsel, Office For People With Developmental Disabilities, 44 Holland Ave., Albany, NY 12229, [phone], e-mail: [e-mail]
