    IFTC Final Report

    CULTURAL RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS INTERMODAL FERRY TRANSPORTATION CENTER CITY OF SOUTH AMBOY MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Prepared for: City of South Amboy Prepared by: Ian Burrow, Ph.D., RPA, Principal Investigator Patrick Harshbarger, M.A., Principal Historian July 2015 (Revised December 2015) MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report documents the identification, evaluation of significance and both the implemented and proposed treatment of historic properties at the site of the proposed Intermodal Ferry Transportation Center (IFTC), located on the site of the former ferry terminals and rail yard facilities of the Camden and Amboy Railroad (later the Pennsylvania Railroad) in South Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The facilities form part of the Camden and Amboy Railroad (Main Line) Historic District, which the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Officer has on several occasions, beginning in 1975, determined to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. This federally licensed and funded undertaking falls under the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. Consideration of historic properties followed the Section 106 regula- tory process set forth in 36 CFR Part 800, coordinated with NEPA and Section 4(f). Beginning in late 2000, a series of studies were initiated within the defined Area of Potential Effects (APE) for this undertaking. Following an identification study for an Environmental Assessment document produced in accordance with NEPA, Phase I archaeological investigations were carried out in 2001 and 2002 in the areas immediately impacted by a proposed new access road (named Radford Ferry Road to reference the 18th-century ferry at the site) and parking area for a new passenger ferry terminal.

  • Raritan River Bridge Replacement Project

    Raritan River Bridge Replacement Project

    Raritan River Bridge Replacement EA Appendix A ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Appendix A: Alternatives Analysis A.1 INTRODUCTION To identify the solution that will best address the vulnerability of the existing Raritan River Drawbridge to storm events, the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ TRANSIT) developed a list of potential alternatives to address that need. The list of potential alternatives considered the project’s logical termini, constructability requirements, navigability requirements, and other design criteria. The alternatives development process, which was performed in accordance with FTA guidance, also includes the development of screening evaluation criteria based on the goals and objectives established for the project, and screening the potential alternatives to determine reasonableness by separating those that are unreasonable from those that are reasonable and must be carried forward for detailed study. An alternative that does not meet the project’s purpose and need is, by definition, unreasonable and can be eliminated from further consideration. An alternative that does meet the project’s purpose and need can still be rejected as unreasonable based on other factors, including environmental impacts, engineering considerations, and cost. If there are two alternatives that both meet the project’s purpose and need to a similar degree, but one of them is higher-impact and more costly, those factors can be cited as a basis for rejecting the higher-impact alternative as unreasonable. A.2 PURPOSE AND NEED The purpose of the proposed project is to address the vulnerability of the existing Raritan River Drawbridge to major storm events, which will enhance the reliability of the North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL).

McKelvey, Chairman, Site Committee 103 Dogwood Lane, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922 Phone 908-464-9332 E-mail: [email protected] Revised 7 January, 2015 ● PERTH AMBOY ● A PROPOSED SITE FOR THE NJ TRANSPORTATION HERITAGE PARK (THP) F I N A L D R A F T OVERVIEW At the urging of Tracy Jordan, a local resident formerly with the Perth Amboy Urban Enterprise Zone, Tony Hall and I inspected the proposed site on the afternoon of 19 November 2013. We explored a plot of vacant, fenced land about 250' by 1500' (the former Goldberg scrap yard of about 8 acres now owned by the City of Perth Amboy) lying east of the New Jersey Transit (NJT) North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) - formerly the Central RR of NJ (CNJ) and west of Second Street, extending north from the bank of the Raritan River. A second corridor plot (owned by NJ Transit) runs south from Market Street (the NJT Rail Station is on the north side of Market - Note A) and connects with the Goldberg property. The two properties together could provide a narrow corridor from Market Street to the River of one half mile. (Note B) North of the Goldberg property are several miscellaneous businesses. Some of this area could be considered in need of redevelopment.” A sidetrack from the NJCL into the site can be seen looking south from the Market Street bridge over NJT (as well as Google Satellite View) and could be the delivery point for rail equipment destined for the proposed THP.

    (FONSI) for NJ TRANSIT's Raritan River Bridge Replacement Project

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINSTRATION FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Project: Raritan River Bridge Replacement Project Applicant: New Jersey Transit Corporation Project Location: Perth Amboy and South Amboy, New Jersey 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Raritan River rail bridge carries New Jersey Transit Corporation’s (NJ TRANSIT) North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) and freight trains operated by Conrail across the Raritan River between South Amboy and Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The bridge is a critical rail link for the NJCL to the Northeast Corridor and job centers in Newark, NJ; Jersey City, NJ; and Manhattan, NY. The Raritan River rail bridge suffered structural damage during the storm named Sandy in October 2012, when ocean surge moved the approach girder spans out of alignment atop their supporting piers. NJ TRANSIT proposes to replace the existing two-track Raritan River rail bridge with a new two-track bridge on an alignment parallel and to the west of the existing bridge and demolish the existing bridge. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) selected the proposed project for funding as "NJ TRANSIT Raritan River Drawbridge Replacement Project" (Funding ID D2013-RESL-008) as a Section 5324 Emergency Relief Resilience Project in Response to Hurricane Sandy on November 5, 2014 (see Table 1, Federal Register Vol.79, No. 214, p. 65764) following a competitive evaluation process. The FTA and NJ TRANSIT prepared the Environmental Assessment (EA) and Section 4(f) Evaluation, dated June 2017 in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. Section 4321 et seq.), FTA's Joint NEPA implementing regulations (23 CFR Part 771), the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, codified at 49 U.S.C.
