PUBLIC NOTICE

Department of State F-2016-0112 Date of Issuance – June 22, 2016

The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

The applicant has certified that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program. The applicant's consistency certification and accompanying public information and data are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, in Albany, New York.

In F-2016-0112, the Town of North Hempstead, is proposing the construction of a shoreline trail from the Town Dock to Manor Haven Park, within the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County. The project will also include seating, lighting, signage, shoreline restoration and bulkhead rehabilitation. The proposed Bay Walk Trail is part of continuing waterfront reclamation and follows the successful completion of the Village of Port Washington North’s Bay Walk Park and Walkway. It is the intention of the Town to continue the design of the current Bay Walk Park southward from Mill Pond Park to the Town Dock. The stated purpose of the proposed action is to link together recreational opportunities that are currently in place or under development along the route, and lead to increased opportunities for public access along Manhasset Bay.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning any of the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 30 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, July 22, 2016.

Comments should be addressed to the Consistency Review Unit, Department of State, Office of Planning and Development, One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Ave., Albany, NY 12231, [phone], Fax [phone]. Electronic submissions can be made by email at: [e-mail].

This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Department of State F-2016-0286 Date of Issuance – June 22, 2016

The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

The applicant has certified that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program. The applicant's consistency certification and accompanying public information and data are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, in Albany, New York.

In F-2016-0286, Van Line Bunkering, Inc., is proposing installing a new anchored steel sheet pile bulkhead offshore of the existing timber cribwall bulkhead/wharf as a means for stabilizing and protecting the shoreline at the Court Street Marine Terminal, in the Town of Brooklyn, Kings County. The proposed solution requires a bulkhead comprising steel sheet piles with steel H-pile frame located on the interior side of the proposed sheet piles. The bulkhead terminates and transitions into the existing shoreline at its east end using an approximately 34-ft length of armor stone revetment. As measured from the Spring Mean High Water line (SMHW) the total estimated volumetric displacement of US Coastal Waters is estimated to be approximately 3,233 cy, and the total area of surface coverage will be approximately 9,498 sf. The estimations are conservative in that they do not deduct the areas and volumes of the existing structure remnants as a credit. The stated purpose of the proposed action is that approximately 321-ft length of existing timber cribwall bulkhead/wharf is in a progressive state of failure, exhibiting substantially deteriorated timber members, missing elements, and lateral compromised with significant concerns regarding its stability, particularly since there exists a warehouse building located immediately upland of the bulkhead. A collapse of the bulkhead would result in an uncontrolled release of fill into Gowanus Canal and potentially undermine the foundation elements of the building.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning any of the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 30 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, July 22, 2016.

Comments should be addressed to the Consistency Review Unit, Department of State, Office of Planning and Development, One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Ave., Albany, NY 12231, [phone], Fax [phone]. Electronic submissions can be made by email at: [e-mail].

This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.
