NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

JOINT APPLICATION FORM – PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUPPLEMENT

PROJECT PURPOSE

The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) proposes the installation of a commercial berthing facility and passenger ferry landing along the north side of Pier 4 within the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) in Brooklyn, New York. The primary purpose of this installation is to provide ferry service and transient berthing for DockNYC vessels. The existing fender system is proposed to be replaced in-kind, extended, and have shore power pedestals installed to support docking vessels.

In the event the Sunset Park/BAT NYC Ferry Service stop (authorized by NYSDEC Permit No. 2-6102-00143/00010 and USACE Permit No. NAN- 2017-01221) is down, the proposed landing may also function as an emergency backup landing.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

EXISTING CONDITIONS

BAT Pier 4 is located in Upper New York Bay, Bay Ridge Channel, Brooklyn, New York. The pier is used as a public access pier for parking, fishing, viewing vistas and for access to the NYC Ferry passenger ferry service. It is comprised of an approach platform, the pier structure, and a newly constructed ferry landing at the south side of the pier.

The approach platform, beginning west of a steel sheet pile bulkhead, runs approximately 368 feet north and south parallel to the bulkhead and is approximately 31 feet wide. The platform turns to the east at its northern end for approximately 138 feet and terminates at a steel bulkhead at the foot of 58th Street. South of the approach platform is a riprap revetment.

The pier is approximately 1292 feet long and 150 feet wide. A new passenger ferry landing barge is located off the south side of the approach platform and is 90 feet long by 35 feet wide.

The structure of the approach platform consists of a reinforced concrete deck supported on a framework of concrete pile caps. The pile caps are supported by precast concrete piles.

P a g e | 1

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

The pier structure is constructed with precast deck planks with a structural cast in place topping slab, precast pile caps and precast piles. A timber fender system runs approximately 423 linear feet, along the first third of the length of the pier on the north side, and is composed of approximately 59 12-inch diameter timber fender piles, with a 12 by 12 timber chock and a 12 by 12 timber wale. Approximately eight (8) aluminum ladders are located along the length of the fender system. Nine (9) steel cleats are installed up to the first expansion joint of the pier. The cleats are bolted into the end of the concrete pile caps.

PROPOSED WORK The proposed project will consist of the following: installation of a gangway and new floating ferry landing offshore of the north side approach platform; in-kind, in-place replacement and extension of the timber fender system on the north side of the pier; installation of new mooring hardware (cleats) at pile caps along the north side of the pier; and, installation of three (3) shore power pedestals. The new ferry landing will provide access for one bow loading passenger ferry and one (1) side loading passenger ferry to call at the site. The new extended timber fender system, mooring hardware, and shore power pedestals will provide additional transient docking facilities for DockNYC vessels.

A 15 linear foot section of the existing approach platform will be modified to accommodate the proposed entry to the gangway and landing barge. A 3-foot wide by 15-foot long section of existing sidewalk will be removed, and 15 linear feet of existing aluminum handrail will be removed, to facilitate installation of a steel security gate.

The proposed ferry landing structures will consist of a 108-foot-6-inch long by 35-foot-1-inch wide (3806.5 square feet) steel hull barge, a precast pile cap, and eight (8) steel pipe piles (see Table 1).

Six (6) 36-inch diameter steel pipe piles will provide anchorage for the steel barge. The landing barge will be accessed by the aluminum gangway and support two (2) vessel berths: one (1) bow loading berth and one (1) side loading berth. The bow-loading berth will provide access to bow-loading vessels at the west end of the barge via an adjustable ramp. The side- loading berth will provide access to side-loading vessels at the north side of the barge via two (2) sets of adjustable ramps and platforms.

Two (2) 24-inch diameter steel pipe piles will support the proposed 65-foot- long by 10-foot-wide (clear) approach gangway and associated reinforced concrete pile cap (15 foot long by 5 foot wide by 3 foot deep). The bottom

of the pile cap will be at elevation + 3.53 which is above Mean High Water (MHW) elevation +2.19 feet NAVD88.

The proposed work also involves removal of the existing 423 linear foot timber fender system, which is composed of fifty-nine (59) 12-inch diameter timber fender piles, a 12 by 12 timber chock, a 12 by 12 timber wale, and approximately eight (8) aluminum ladders. This existing fender system will be replaced in-kind and extended an additional 517 linear feet up to the second expansion joint of the pier with one-hundred and twenty- three (123) 12-inch diameter timber fender piles, a 12 by 12 timber chock, a 12 by 12 timber wale, and approximately eighteen (18) aluminum ladders. The existing 24-inch steel cleats located along the north side of BAT Pier 4 will remain and an additional twenty-seven (27) cleats are proposed to be installed up to the second expansion joint.

cubic yards. The total volume of water displaced by the 59 existing 12-inch diameter timber fender piles, which are proposed to be removed, is 38.1 cubic yards. Therefore, the net total addition of pile volume in the water column is 89.1 cubic yards. A proposed mitigation strategy is currently being established by the New York City Economic Development Corporation and will be addressed in a subsequent submission.

Three (3) new marine shore power pedestals are proposed to provide power and water to docked vessels. Two (2) shore power pedestals are proposed to be installed along the edge of the pier and one (1) shore power pedestal is proposed to be installed on the floating barge.

A new utility curb is proposed atop the pier to route electrical and water utility lines to the shore power pedestals on the pier. Water and electric utility lines will originate from an electrical area proposed at the ground level of the Administration Building, located approximately 250 feet inshore of the access platform. The utilities will feed through a penetration through the bulkhead and be suspended from the bottom of the deck to the edge of the platform. Utilities feeding out to the barge will be supported along the face of the access platform. Utilities feeding down the pier will penetrate through the pier deck into a new utility curb that extends down the length of the pier. The existing fence line on the pier will be shifted inboard of the curb to prevent trips and slips.

CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY

The majority of construction staging for installation of the ferry landing support, gangway, ferry landing barge, and fender system will occur from barges. It is anticipated that the construction sequencing will be as follows:

› Selective demolition of the access platform. This includes removal of a portion of the existing sidewalk and handrail.

› Pile driving for the gangway support, barge anchorage piles and construction of the concrete cap for the gangway support.

› Installation of the landing barge, fenders, and gangways.

› Removal of the existing timber pile fender system at the north dock.

› Installation of the new timber pile fender system at the north dock including additional mooring hardware (cleats).

P a g e | 4

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

› Installation of the electrical equipment within the Administration Building. Includes penetration through existing foundation and trenching conduits down to the access platform

› Penetrate conduits through existing bulkhead, suspend conduits to underside of access platform, and route conduits to new curb detail atop Pier 4.

› Installation of new curb including realignment of existing handrail and installation of shore power pedestals on the pier.

Piles will be installed via barge mounted vibratory hammers. It is anticipated that piles will be vibrated to the required tip elevation. Existing timber fender piles will be extracted via barge mounted equipment.

Best management practices will be followed during construction in order to minimize environmental impacts. Use of a vibratory hammer for initial soft driving conditions minimizes the potential for generating suspended sediment during pile driving activities and a 20-minute soft start to pile driving activities will be performed, as necessary. Because of the limited nature of the project, impacts are expected to be temporary and localized.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS

The proposed project will minimize impacts to the regulated area by following best management practices during construction and during daily ferry operations. The number and size of piles for the proposed ferry barge have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable while being designed for ferry landing operational requirements and local geotechnical and environmental conditions.

Alternatives that were considered were the following:

NO ACTION The no action alternative would involve leaving the existing deteriorated fender system in-place, and not constructing a ferry landing barge at the north dock. This alternative is not recommended, as the existing timber fender system is deteriorating, and is in need of replacement in order to maintain the ability to safely berth vessels along the pier. Not constructing the additional ferry landing or berthing facility at the north dock would limit the ability of BAT Pier 4 to utilize its space in order to meet the existing New York City transportation demands.

P a g e | 5

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

SMALLER FERRY LANDING BARGE A smaller ferry landing barge with less anchorage was considered, but was determined not to be feasible for the following reasons: (1) the site is exposed to significant wave forces, which would cause instability of a smaller float and render it unusable during even basic wind/wave activity; (2) fewer and/or smaller piles would be unable to support the loads required by environmental and operational design criteria; (3) a smaller barge would be unable to accommodate the range of vessels expected to berth at the side-loading position.

SITING OF ELECTRICAL AREA OUTDOORS Siting the electrical components that feed the site closer to the waterfront was considered. The location considered was approximately 50-feet from the approach platform and immediately adjacent to the western corner of the Boiler Building. The Boiler Building is currently in a state of disrepair and has been condemned from access. Similarly to the proposed location within the Administration Building, the location adjacent to the Boiler Building would require the equipment to be raised on an elevated platform. The platform would need to be secured from public access (fencing), be subject to moderate wave action (per the bounding limits of the Preliminary Flood Insurance Map), regularly exposed to environmental conditions, and be in clear site amongst all of the recent upland landscaping improvements that have occurred within BAT. Additionally, the platforms proximity to the Boiler Building would subject it to potential future relocation in the event the Boiler Building was rehabilitated or reconstructed.

PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE

The preferred alternative, which is the installation of the new ferry landing, improvement of docking facilities, and installation of the electrical area within the Administration Building, as proposed in this application, was selected for the following reasons: (1) the structure is suitable for the site- specific design conditions and structural criteria; (2) the proposed expansion of the pier fender system will allow increased utilization of Pier 4 for DockNYC operations; (3) the proposed ferry landing barge maintains the standardized approach being utilized at all of the newer NYC Ferry Service landings, including structural and operational performance, compliance with ADA and Local Law 68, and aesthetic appeal; (4) the proposed ferry landing at the north dock will supplement the existing ferry landing at the south dock, allowing use of the landing for emergencies or as a secondary site in the event the south landing becomes inoperable.

In the event the Sunset Park/BAT NYC Ferry Service stop (authorized by NYSDEC Permit No. 2-6102-00143/00010 and USACE Permit No. NAN-2017-01221) is down, the proposed landing may also function as an emergency backup landing.

2. Provide the names and addresses of property owners adjacent to your work site (if not shown on the application form or project drawings).

See attachment.

(Please note that depending upon the nature and extent of your project, you may be requested to provide the names and addresses

of additional property owners proximate to your project site to ensure proper coordination.)

3. Photographs of the project site should be submitted. For projects in tidal areas, photographs of the waterway vicinity should be taken at low tide. Using a separate copy of your plan view, indicate the location and direction of each photograph as well as the date and time at which the photograph was taken. Provide a sufficient number of photographs so as to provide a clear understanding of conditions on and proximate to your project site.

See attachment.

4. Provide a copy of any environmental impact statement, or any other environmental report which was prepared for your project.

See the attached Short Environmental Assessment Form.

5. Provide a thorough discussion of alternatives to your proposal. This discussion should include, but not necessarily be limited to, the "no action" alternative and alternative(s) resulting in less disturbance to waters of the United States. For filling projects in waters of the United States, including wetlands, your alternatives discussion should demonstrate that there are no practicable alternatives to your proposed filling and that your project meets with current mitigation policy (i.e. avoidance, minimization and compensation).

As detailed in the Project Description, the net addition of structure volume in the water column is 89.1 cubic yards (accounting for the existing timber fender system, the proposed timber fender system, the proposed barge anchoring piles and gangway support piles). A proposed mitigation strategy is currently being established by the New York City Economic Development Corporation and will be addressed in a subsequent submission.

Alternatives that were considered were the following:

NO ACTION

P a g e | 2

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

The no action alternative would involve leaving the existing deteriorated fender system in-place, and not constructing a ferry landing barge at the north dock. This alternative is not recommended, as the existing timber fender system is deteriorating, and is in need of replacement in order to maintain the ability to safely berth vessels along the pier. Not constructing the additional ferry landing or berthing facility at the north dock would limit the ability of BAT Pier 4 to utilize its space in order to meet the existing New York City transportation demands.

PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE The preferred alternative, which is the installation of the new ferry landing, improvement of docking facilities, and installation of the electrical area within the Administration Building, as proposed in this application, was selected for the following reasons: (1) the structure is suitable for the site- specific design conditions and structural criteria; (2) the proposed expansion of the pier fender system will allow increased utilization of Pier 4 for DockNYC operations; (3) the proposed ferry landing barge maintains the

AUGUST 2019

standardized approach being utilized at all of the newer NYC Ferry Service landings, including structural and operational performance, compliance with ADA and Local Law 68, and aesthetic appeal; (4) the proposed ferry landing at the north dock will supplement the existing ferry landing at the south dock, allowing use of the landing for emergencies or as a secondary site in the event the south landing becomes inoperable.

DREDGING PROJECTS

Answer the following if your project involves dredging.

Not applicable. This project does not involve dredging.

1. Indicate the estimated volume of material to be dredged and the depth (below mean low water) to which dredging would occur. Would there be overdepth dredging?

2. You can apply for a ten-year permit for maintenance dredging. If you wish to apply for a ten-year permit, please provide the number of additional dredging events during the ten-year life of the permit and the amount of material to be removed during future events.

3. Indicate of your drawings the dewatering area (if applicable) and disposal site for the dredged material (except landfill sites). Submit a sufficient number of photographs of the dewatering and disposal sites as applicable so as to provide a clear indication of existing conditions. For ten-year maintenance dredging permits, indicate the dewatering/disposal sites for future dredging events, if known.

4. Describe the method of dredging (i.e. clamshell, dragline, etc.) and the expected duration of dredging.

5. Indicate the physical nature of the material to be dredged (i.e. sand, silt, clay, etc.) and provide estimated percentages of the various constituents if available. For beach nourishment projects, grain size analysis data is required.

6. Describe the method of dredged material containment (i.e. hay bales, embankment, bulkhead, etc.) and whether return flow from the dewatering/disposal site would reenter any waterway. Also indicate if there would be any barge overflow.

MOORING FACILITIES

P a g e | 4

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

Answer the following if your project includes the construction or rehabilitation of recreational mooring facilities.

Not applicable. This project does not involve a recreational mooring facility.

1. It is generally recommended that any fixed piers and walk ramps be limited to four feet in width, and that floats be limited to eight feet in width and rest at least two feet above the waterway bottom at mean low water. Terminal floats at private, non- commercial facilities should be limited to 20 feet in length. If you do not believe your proposal can meet with these recommendations, please provide the reason(s).

2. Using your plan view, show to scale the location(s), position(s) and size(s) (including length, beam and draft) of vessel(s) to be moored at the proposed facility, including those of transient vessel(s) if known.

3. For commercial mooring sites such as marinas, indicate the capacity of the facility and indicate on the plan view the location(s) of any proposed fueling and/or sewage pumpout facilities. If pumpout facilities are not planned, please discuss the rationale below and indicate the distance to the nearest available pumpout station.

4. Indicate on your plan view the distance to adjacent marine structures, if any are proximate and show the locations and dimensions of such structures.

5. Discuss the need for wave protection at the proposed facility. Please be advised that if a permit is issued, you would be required to recognize that the mooring facility may be subject to wave action from wakes of passing vessels, whose operations would not be required to be modified. Issuance of a permit would not relieve you of ensuring the integrity of the authorized structure(s) and the United States would not be held responsible for damages to the structure(s) and vessel(s) moored thereto from wakes from passing vessels.

BULKHEADING/BANK STABILIZATION/FILLING ACTIVITIES

Answer the following if your project includes construction of bulkheading (also retaining walls and seawalls) with backfill, filling of waters/wetlands, or any other bank stabilization fills such as riprap, revetments, gabions, etc.

P a g e | 5

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

Not applicable. This project does not involve the construction of bulkheading or other bank stabilization fills.

1. Indicate the total volume of fill (including backfill behind a structure such as a bulkhead) as well as the volume of fill to be placed into waters of the United States. The amount of fill in waters of the United States can be determined by calculating the amount of fill to be placed below the plane of spring high tide in tidal areas and below ordinary high water in non-tidal areas.

2. Indicate the source(s) and type(s) of fill material.

3. Indicate the method of fill placement (i.e. by hand, bulldozer, crane, etc.). Would any temporary fills be required in waterways or wetlands to provide access for construction equipment? If so, please indicate the area of such waters and/or wetlands to be filled, and show on the plan and sectional views.

The foregoing requests basic information on the most common types of projects requiring Department of the Army permits. It is intended to obviate or reduce the need for requesting additional information; however, additional information may be requested above and beyond what is requested in this form.

Please feel free to add any additional information regarding your project which you believe may facilitate our review.

NYSDOS COASTAL CONSISTENCY SUPPLEMENT – NEW YORK STATE APPLICABLE COASTAL POLICIES

DEVELOPMENT POLICIES

POLICY 1: RESTORE, REVITALIZE, AND REDEVELOP DETERIORATED AND UNDERUTILIZED WATERFRONT AREAS FOR COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, CULTURAL, RECREATIONAL, AND OTHER COMPATIBLE USES.

The proposed work will facilitate the objectives of this policy by improving commercial ferry access and berthing at the site.

POLICY 2: FACILITATE THE SITING OF WATER-DEPENDENT USES AND FACILITIES ON OR ADJACENT TO COASTAL WATERS.

The proposed ferry landing and berthing facility functions are water- dependent and is therefore consistent with this policy.

POLICY 3: FURTHER DEVELOP THE STATE'S MAJOR PORTS OF ALBANY, BUFFALO, NEW YORK, OGDENSBURG, AND OSWEGO AS CENTERS OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY, AND ENCOURAGE THE SITING, IN THESE PORT AREAS, INCLUDING THOSE UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF STATE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES, OF LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO, OR IN SUPPORT OF, THE WATERBORNE TRANSPORTATION OF CARGO AND PEOPLE.

P a g e | 1

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4

PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

The proposed ferry landing and berthing facility fully meets these objectives as a supportive component of the City's mission, managed by DockNYC, to increase efficiency in accommodating the demand for berth space for transportation, maritime operations, recreations, educational, commercial, non-profit, historical related opportunities at the Brooklyn Army Terminal.

FLOODING AND EROSION HAZARDS POLICIES

POLICY 11: BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES WILL BE SITED IN THE COASTAL AREA SO AS TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND THE ENDANGERING OF HUMAN LIVES CAUSED BY FLOODING AND EROSION.

The proposed ferry landing and berthing facility does not include construction of buildings. The structures have been designed to accommodate the 100-year flood elevation (including projections for sea level rise until the year 2070). The project site is located in flood zone AE (FIRM 3604970194F, Revised September 2007) and is subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood. The FEMA 1% still water elevation is 11.40 feet NAVD 88 (FIS 360497V00B, Preliminary, December 2013, Transect K-37). The projected 1% still water elevation is 11.54 feet in 2019 and 13.72 feet NAVD 88 in 2070. The top of the ferry landing anchor piles and monopiles have been set at elevation +25.0 feet NAVD 88 in order to prevent the landing barge and donut fenders from overtopping the pilings during a 100-year storm event in the year 2070.

The proposed electrical area will be sited at the ground level of the Administration Building which is also within the AE zone but outside the limits of moderate wave activity. The electrical equipment will be installed on raised platforms elevated at the required design flood elevation in accordance with applicable NYC Building Codes.

POLICY 12: ACTIVITIES OR DEVELOPMENT IN THE COASTAL AREA WILL BE UNDERTAKEN SO AS TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE TO NATURAL RESOURCES AND PROPERTY FROM FLOODING AND EROSION BY PROTECTING NATURAL PROTECTIVE FEATURES INCLUDING BEACHES, DUNES, BARRIER ISLANDS AND BLUFFS.

The proposed project has been designed to withstand flood events, and therefore will minimize damage to natural resources and property during such events. The surrounding shoreline is engineered and does not include natural protective features. Erosion of the shoreline will not be impacted by the proposed project. The proposed work is consistent with this policy.

P a g e | 2

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4

PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK

AUGUST 2019

POLICY 17: WHENEVER POSSIBLE, USE NON-STRUCTURAL MEASURES TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE TO NATURAL RESOURCES AND PROPERTY FROM FLOODING AND EROSION. SUCH MEASURES SHALL INCLUDE: (1) THE SET BACK OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES; (2) THE PLANTING OF VEGETATION AND THE INSTALLATION OF SAND FENCING AND DRAINING; (3) THE RESHAPING OF BLUFFS; AND (4) THE FLOOD- PROOFING OF BUILDINGS OR THEIR ELEVATION ABOVE THE BASE FLOOD LEVEL.

The shoreline of this site was previously engineered and includes an existing steel sheet pile bulkhead in the area where the proposed gangway support structure will be constructed. No additional measures of flood or erosion control are proposed, and therefore the proposed project is consistent with this policy.

RECREATION:

POLICY 21: WATER-DEPENDENT AND WATER-ENHANCED RECREATION WILL BE ENCOURAGED AND FACILITATED, AND WILL BE GIVEN PRIORITY OVER NON-WATER RELATED USES ALONG THE COAST

The proposed ferry landing and berthing facility is being constructed to support the DockNYC program. DockNYC's mission is to develop "transportation, maritime operations, recreation, educational, commercial, non-profit, historic, and culturally related opportunities along the waterfront. The Pier currently serves as a resource to DockNYC's program. It also provides water-dependent recreation for fishing and direct access to the waterfront for view of the New York Harbor. The proposed project would continue to provide the current level of public recreation at the pier and further enhance recreational activity by providing access to excursion operators and recreational vessels under the management of the DockNYC program. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

POLICY 22: DEVELOPMENT, WHEN LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE SHORE, WILL PROVIDE FOR WATER-RELATED RECREATION, WHENEVER SUCH USE IS COMPATIBLE WITH REASONABLY ANTICIPATED DEMAND FOR SUCH ACTIVITIES, AND IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

The proposed project is consistent with this policy. The primary purpose of the project is to enhance the capacity of Pier 4 to support DockNYC operations. One part of DockNYC's mission statement is to enhance

P a g e | 3

recreation related opportunities, which includes chartered excursions and docking of recreational vessels.

POLICY 23: PROTECT, ENHANCE AND RESTORE STRUCTURES, DISTRICTS, AREAS OR SITES THAT ARE OF SIGNIFICANCE IN THE HISTORY, ARCHITECTURE, ARCHAEOLOGY OR CULTURE OF THE STATE, ITS COMMUNITIES, OR THE NATION.

The Brooklyn Army Terminal is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The proposed ferry landing will improve overall access to and utilization of this site. The Administration Building will be minimally impacted by installation of the new electrical room proposed at the ground level. Penetrations through the foundation of the building to run conduit out to the pier will be required. These penetrations will be sealed and flood proofed after installation of the conduit. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

WATER AND AIR RESOURCES:

POLICY 30: MUNICIPAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND COMMERCIAL DISCHARGES OF POLLUTANTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, INTO COASTAL WATERS WILL CONFORM TO STATE AND NATIONAL WATER QUALITY STANDARDS.

The proposed ferry landing and berthing facility will be operated according to best management practices and therefore are not expected to be a source of pollutant discharge. No waste water or pump out facilities are proposed under this work.

POLICY 38: THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF SURFACE WATER AND GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES WILL BE CONSERVED AND PROTECTED, PARTICULARLY WHERE SUCH WATERS CONSTITUTE THE PRIMARY OR SOLE SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY.

This policy is not applicable. The proposed activities will have no impact on the quality and quantity of surface and groundwater supplies.

POLICY 40: EFFLUENT DISCHARGED FROM MAJOR STEAM AND ELECTRIC GENERATING AND INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES INTO COASTAL WATERS WILL NOT BE UNDULY INJURIOUS TO FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SHALL CONFORM TO STATE WATER QUALITY STANDARDS.

P a g e | 4

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4

AUGUST 2019

This policy is not applicable. The proposed project does not involve any industrial effluent discharge.

WETLANDS:

POLICY 44: PRESERVE AND PROTECT TIDAL AND FRESHWATER WETLANDS AND PRESERVE THE BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THESE AREAS.

By definition, all lands surrounding the coastal waters of New York are considered tidal wetlands. Therefore, by definition, the proposed activity will be located in an area of tidal wetlands.

NYC LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM (WRP) CONSISTENCY SUPPLEMENT –APPLICABLE WRP POLICIES

1 SUPPORT AND FACILITATE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT IN AREAS WELL-SUITED TO SUCH DEVELOPMENT.

1.2 ENCOURAGE NON-INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH USES AND DESIGN FEATURES THAT ENLIVEN THE WATERFRONT AND ATTRACT THE PUBLIC.

The Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) is home to a diverse set of businesses, including furniture makers, art studios, fashion distributors, and food distributers which enliven the waterfront and attract the public. The proposed installation of the new commercial ferry landing and docking facility at BAT Pier 4 is consistent with this policy, as it enhances access to the site, and therefore encourages such development.

1.5 INTEGRATE CONSIDERATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND SEA LEVEL RISE INTO THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF WATERFRONT RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, PURSUANT TO WRP POLICY 6.2.

Climate change and sea level rise have been considered in the planning and design of this project. The proposed ferry landing has been designed to accommodate the 100-year flood elevation (including projections for sea level rise until the year 2070). The 2019 FEMA 1% still water elevation is 11.40 feet NAVD 88, and the projected 1% still water elevation in 2070 is 13.72 feet NAVD 88. The top of the ferry landing anchor piles and monopiles have been set at elevation +25.0 feet NAVD 88 in order to prevent the landing barge and donut fenders from overtopping the pilings during a 100-year storm event. The proposed electrical area will be sited at the ground level of the Administration Building which is also within the AE zone but outside the limits of moderate wave activity. The electrical equipment will be installed on raised platforms elevated at the required design flood elevation in accordance with applicable NYC Building Codes.

See the evaluation of policy 6.2 below, for more information.

2 SUPPORT WATER-DEPENDENT AND INDUSTRIAL USES IN NEW YORK CITY COASTAL AREAS THAT ARE WELL-SUITED TO THEIR CONTINUED OPERATION.

2.1 PROMOTE WATER-DEPENDENT AND INDUSTRIAL USES IN SIGNIFICANT MARITIME AND INDUSTRIAL AREAS.

The project site is located within a Significant Maritime and Industrial Area (SMIA). The proposed commercial ferry landing and berthing facility improvements promotes water-dependent use at the site, and

therefore is consistent with this policy.

2.4 PROVIDE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT WORKING WATERFRONT USES.

The proposed commercial ferry landing installation and berthing facility at BAT Pier 4 north dock provide infrastructure improvements at the site. The proposed ferry landing provides new infrastructure to improve ferry access at the BAT Pier 4 which supplements the NYC Ferry Service at the south dock. The proposed berthing facility improves the existing docking capacity and fender system at the pier. Both proposed uses provided working waterfronts, and therefore the proposed work is consistent with this policy.

2.5 INCORPORATE CONSIDERATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND SEA LEVEL RISE INTO THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF WATERFRONT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE, PURSUANT TO WRP POLICY 6.2.

3 PROMOTE USE OF NEW YORK CITY'S WATERWAYS FOR COMMERCIAL AND RECREATIONAL BOATING AND WATER-DEPENDENT TRANSPORTATION.

3.2 SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE RECREATIONAL, EDUCATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL BOATING IN NEW YORK CITY'S MARITIME CENTERS.

The proposed ferry landing and berthing facility is being constructed to support the DockNYC program. DockNYC's mission is to develop "transportation, maritime operations, recreation, educational, commercial, non-profit, historic, and culturally related opportunities along the waterfront. The Pier currently serves as a resource to DockNYC's program by providing transient berthing space for vessels. The proposed project would enhance DockNYC's capacity to provide these berthing opportunities at the Pier, in addition to providing a new commercial boating opportunity with installation of the proposed ferry landing. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

3.4 MINIMIZE IMPACT OF COMMERCIAL AND RECREATIONAL BOATING ACTIVITIES ON THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT AND SURROUNDING LAND AND WATER USES.

Best management practices will be followed during ferry and boating operations to limit discharge of harmful substances to the aquatic environment. Refueling and pump out activities are not proposed under the current project.

3.5 IN PRIORITY MARINE ACTIVITY ZONES, SUPPORT THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE OF MARITIME INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WATER- DEPENDENT USES.

The project site, BAT Pier 4, is designated as a Priority Marine Activity Zone. The proposed work is consistent with this policy because it involves rehabilitation of existing infrastructure (fender system) for the water-dependent use of the berthing facility.

5 PROTECT AND IMPROVE WATER QUALITY IN THE NEW YORK CITY COASTAL AREA.

5.3 PROTECT WATER QUALITY WHEN EXCAVATING OR PLACING FILL IN NAVIGABLE WATERS AND IN OR NEAR MARSHES, ESTUARIES, TIDAL MARSHES, AND WETLANDS.

The impact of the proposed ferry landing and berthing facility on the natural environment has been minimized through planning design efforts, as well as following best management practices during construction. Use of a vibratory hammer for initial soft pile driving conditions minimizes the potential for generating suspended sediment during pile driving activities. Because of the limited nature of the project, impacts from pile driving are expected to be temporary and localized. Placement of fill within navigable waters is limited to solid- type fills consisting of steel or timber piles. Potential degradation of water quality by use of fluid, cast-in-place, concrete is has been mitigated by proposing the use of pre-cast concrete elements for the gangway support structure. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

6 MINIMIZE LOSS OF LIFE, STRUCTURES, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES CAUSED BY FLOODING AND EROSION, AND INCREASE RESILIENCE TO FUTURE CONDITIONS CREATED BY CLIMATE CHANGE.

6.2 INTEGRATE CONSIDERATION OF THE LATEST NEW YORK CITY PROJECTIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND SEA LEVEL RISE (AS PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK CITY PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE 2015 REPORT, CHAPTER 2: SEA LEVEL RISE AND COASTAL STORMS) INTO THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF PROJECTS IN THE CITY’S COASTAL ZONE.

The proposed structures have been designed for a 25-year service life. However, with routine maintenance and future rehabilitations or modifications, the proposed piles may last as long as 50 years. Therefore, the design of the piles, specifically the proposed top of pile elevation, considers the projected sea level rise from the years 2019 to 2070, based on the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NCPCC) 2015 Report. The NCPCC's 75th percentile sea level rise curve was used to obtain a projected sea level rise of 2.18 feet from 2019 to 2070.

The proposed ferry landing has been designed to accommodate the 100-year flood elevation (including projections for sea level rise until the year 2070). The project site is located in flood zone AE (FIRM 3604970194F, Revised September 2007) and is subject to inundation

P a g e | 4

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK AUGUST 2019

by the 1% annual chance flood. The FEMA 1% still water elevation is 11.40 feet NAVD 88 (FIS 360497V00B, Preliminary, December 2013, Transect K-37). The projected 1% still water elevation is 11.54 feet in 2019 and 13.72 feet NAVD 88 in 2070. The top of the ferry landing anchor piles and monopiles have been set at elevation +25.0 feet NAVD 88 in order to prevent the landing barge and donut fenders from overtopping the pilings during a 100 year storm event in the year 2070.

The detailed methodology will be used to assess consistency with this policy, as the proposed project involves construction of a new passenger ferry landing and berthing facility, which may be classified as docks. The completed Flood Elevation Worksheet is attached.

Step 1: Identify Vulnerabilities and Consequences

1(a) The completed Flood Elevation Worksheet is attached.

1(b) The analysis below is based on the 1% Flood Elevation + Sea Level Rise chart shown in Tab 4 of the Flood Elevation Worksheet. It considers the project features located below the elevation of the 1% floodplain over the lifespan of the project.

› The proposed Access Gangway will be below the elevation of the 1% floodplain, for the present and all future sea level rise scenarios. This gangway, which will extend from the existing landside approach platform to the ferry landing barge, will have quick disconnect receptacles which will allow for removal prior to a storm or flood event, and reattachment after the flood waters recede. Since the ferry landing would not be operational during such a storm event, this would not have any negative impact on the proposed project functioning as intended.

› The proposed Concrete Pile Cap, which will support the proposed gangway, will be submerged during a 1% flood, for the present and all future sea level rise scenarios. The proposed top of pile cap elevation is +6.53 feet NAVD 88. The proposed top of pile cap elevation has been designed to match the elevation of the existing

P a g e | 5

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK AUGUST 2019

landside approach platform, since no changes in upland elevations are proposed as part of this project. Operational precautions such as gangway removal will prevent damage to the structure during storm and flood events. The cap will be designed to resist uplift forces associated with rising tidal waters acting on the structure.

› The proposed Gangway Support Piles (with top of pile elevation +3.78 feet NAVD88) will be below the elevation of the 1% floodplain, for the present and all future sea level rise scenarios. These gangway support piles support the above-mentioned concrete pile cap and access gangway. Operational precautions such as gangway removal will prevent damage to these structures during storm and flood events. The piles will be designed to resist uplift forces associated with rising tidal waters acting on the structure.

› Two (2) of the three (3) proposed Shore Power Pedestals will be sited on the deck of Pier 4 so that the pedestals are accessible to docking vessels. These pedestals will be vulnerable in the event of flooding. One (1) of the pedestals will be sited on the deck of the floating barge, accessible for berthed side-loading vessels, and therefore will always remain above the flood waters as the barge elevates with the rising water levels.

1(c) The analysis below is based on the Mean Higher High Water + Sea Level Rise chart shown in Tab 4 of the Flood Elevation Worksheet. It considers the project features located below the Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) elevation over the lifespan of the project.

› The proposed Gangway Support Piles (with top of pile elevation +3.78 feet NAVD88) will be below the 2050 MHHW elevation +5.01 feet NAVD88 (high projection). This is acceptable, as the overlying concrete pile cap and gangway are above this elevation, and this group of structures are designed for a 25-year service life. These overlying features will not be inundated on a daily basis over the lifetime of the project.

1(d) The project site is located in flood zone AE (FIRM 3604970194F, Revised September 2007) and is subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood. The FEMA wave conditions for the 1% annual chance storm are significant wave height Hs of 4.92 feet and peak wave period T of 4.45 seconds. (FIS 360497V00B, Preliminary, December 2013, Transect K-37). The project has been designed to accommodate

P a g e | 6

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK AUGUST 2019

these wave conditions. The project does not contain any materials or substances that if made insecure by wind, water or debris would result in a threat to public health or the environment.

Step 2: Identify Adaptive Strategies Assess how vulnerabilities and consequences identified in Step 1 are addressed through the project's design and planning.

2(a) The following features were identified in Step 1(b) and are assessed as follows:

› The proposed Access Gangway will extend from the existing landside approach platform to the ferry landing barge and will have quick disconnect receptacles to prevent damage. The quick disconnect receptacles will allow for removal prior to a storm or flood event, and reattachment after the flood waters recede. Since the ferry landing would not be operational during such a storm event, this would not have any negative impact on the proposed project functioning as intended.

› The proposed Concrete Pile Cap will support the proposed gangway. The proposed top of pile cap elevation is +6.53 feet NAVD 88, which matches the elevation of the existing landside approach platform. Operational precautions such as gangway removal will prevent damage to the structure during storm and flood events. No changes in upland elevations are proposed as part of this project and are not necessary for the planned 25-year service life, as all upland features will be above the MHHW elevation during the project's lifespan. The top elevation of the proposed ferry landing anchor piles has considered the 1% flood elevation and the 50-year sea level rise, so that, if in the future, upland features were to be modified, the piles could accommodate such changes. The pile cap will be designed to resist uplift forces associated with rising tidal waters acting on the structure.

› The proposed Gangway Support Piles (with top of pile elevation +3.78 feet NAVD88) support the above-mentioned concrete pile cap and access gangway. Operational precautions such as gangway removal will prevent damage to these structures during storm and flood events. The piles will be designed to resist uplift forces associated with rising tidal waters acting on the structure.

P a g e | 7

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK AUGUST 2019

› The proposed Shore Power Pedestals will provide electrical tie-in and a water bib for docked vessels. The pedestals that are to be mounted to the deck of the pier will maintain the same elevation of Pier 4. In the event these units are inundated during a flood event, they will be required to be replaced.

2(b) The following feature was identified in Step 1(c) and is assessed as follows:

› The proposed Gangway Support Piles (with top of pile elevation +3.78 feet NAVD88) will be below the MHHW elevation +5.01 feet NAVD88 (high projection for the year 2050). This is acceptable, as the overlying concrete pile cap and gangway are above this elevation, and this group of structures are designed for a 25-year service life. These overlying features will not be inundated on a daily basis over the lifetime of the project. Also, the design of the Gangway Support Piles allows for them to continue to function while inundated.

2(c) Additional coastal hazards:

› The proposed project has been designed to accommodate the 1% annual chance storm wave conditions, as defined by FEMA.

› The proposed project takes into account the design wind speeds and wind loads calculated in accordance with ASCE 7-10.

› The proposed project takes into account ice loads determined in accordance with AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.

2(d) The project would not lead to increased flooding on adjacent sites. The project is not designed to protect upland sites from coastal hazards; however, it would not conflict with any potential plans for flood protection on adjacent parts of the site.

Step 3: Assess Policy Consistency

The proposed project is consistent with Policy 6.2. This project advances the policy, because all new vulnerable, critical or potentially hazardous features would be protected through flood damage reduction elements or future adaptive measures within the timeframe that they would be needed. The one exception is the installation of the Shore Power Pedestals on the deck of Pier 4. These pedestals will be required

P a g e | 8

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK AUGUST 2019

to be replaced in the event they are inundated. These pedestals are unable to be elevated to reduce risk of inundation without requiring significant infrastructure changes to raise the equipment and maintain access by docked vessels.

8 PROVIDE PUBLIC ACCESS TO, FROM, AND ALONG NEW YORK CITY'S COASTAL WATERS.

8.1 PRESERVE, PROTECT, MAINTAIN, AND ENHANCE PHYSICAL, VISUAL AND RECREATIONAL ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT.

The proposed commercial ferry landing installation and berthing facility improvements at BAT Pier 4 are consistent with this policy, as it involves improvement of an existing waterfront transportation facility, and therefore will improve waterfront access at this site.

8.2 INCORPORATE PUBLIC ACCESS INTO NEW PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT WHERE COMPATIBLE WITH PROPOSED LAND USE AND COASTAL LOCATION.

The BAT is home to a diverse set of businesses, including furniture makers, art studios, and fashion distributors which enliven the waterfront and attract the public. The proposed construction of the ferry landing at BAT Pier 4 north dock is consistent with this policy, as it enhances access to the site and provides a means of connecting this site with other waterfront public access spaces.

8.3 PROVIDE VISUAL ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT WHERE PHYSICALLY PRACTICAL.

The proposed project will not impede the existing visual access to the waterfront, and therefore is consistent with this policy.

8.5 PRESERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST IN AND USE OF LANDS AND WATERS HELD IN PUBLIC TRUST BY THE STATE AND CITY.

The project site is owned by the City of New York and managed by the New York City Economic Development Corporation. The proposed project is consistent with this policy, because it enhances the existing public use of the site as a ferry terminal and docking facility.

8.6 DESIGN WATERFRONT PUBLIC SPACES TO ENCOURAGE THE WATERFRONT’S IDENTITY AND ENCOURAGE STEWARDSHIP.

P a g e | 9

NYSDEC/USACE JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION BROOKLYN ARMY TERMINAL PIER 4 PROPOSED FERRY LANDING & COMMERCIAL BERTHING FACILITY AT PIER 4 NORTH DOCK AUGUST 2019

The proposed installation of the new ferry landing and berthing facility improvements at BAT Pier 4 is consistent with this policy because:

› It provides opportunities for the public to access the waterfront. › It provides a connection between land and water. › It provides berthing space for transient vessels. › Gangway access to the ferry landing is compliant with ADA regulations.

10 PROTECT, PRESERVE, AND ENHANCE RESOURCES SIGNIFICANT TO THE HISTORICAL, ARCHAEOLOGICAL, ARCHITECTURAL, AND CULTURAL LEGACY OF THE NEW YORK CITY COASTAL AREA.

10.1 RETAIN AND PRESERVE HISTORIC RESOURCES, AND ENHANCE RESOURCES SIGNIFICANT TO THE COASTAL CULTURE OF NEW YORK CITY.

The project site, BAT, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are eleven historic buildings located on the upland of this site. The proposed work will occur primarily on the waterfront with a portion of the work proposed within the Administration Building approximately 250-feet upland of the approach platform. Impacts to the Administration Building will be minimal and consist of providing penetrations through the foundation to allow utility conduits to travel from the electrical area within the Administration Building to the Pier. The proposed ferry landing and berthing facility improvements will enhance access to this historic site. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this policy.
