September 2007 Recommendations for the Transfer of City-Owned Properties Containing Wetlands PREFACE The members of the Wetlands Transfer Task Force commend Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, the New York City Council, the Council’s Environmental Protection Committee and Committee Chair, Councilman James F. Gennaro for recognizing the importance of protecting the City’s remaining wetlands. Wetlands have a tremendous capacity to prevent flooding, reduce storm surges and improve downstream water quality. They protect and nurture our wildlife heritage – including globally significant birds and fisheries. Wetlands are also a vital and often beautiful element of the City’s rivers and estuaries, places for young and old to recreate, experience nature, and relax. Through Local Law 83, the multi-agency Wetlands Transfer Task Force (Task Force) was set up to inventory available City-owned properties containing wetlands and to make recommendations regarding their potential transfer to NYC Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR) or other agencies for protection from urban development. By addressing the future of City-owned wetlands, as well as some broader questions of wetland management and policy, the Task Force hopes to ensure that these often under-appreciated sites become part of efforts to build a more sustainable future for both the City and Region. The Task Force held to an aggressive schedule, in order to review and adopt methodology, compile available information, learn about existing policies, plans and proposals, and make its recommendations. The appointees, who all volunteered their time for the Task Force, represented a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives; however, with professionalism, relevant knowledge, and good humor, open discussions were fostered about the wide range of considerations for the City’s wetland properties. Decisions on the more than 2,000 City-owned wetland properties in the inventory were made by consensus. The focus of this work is a site-by-site review with recommendations for dozens of larger wetlands and wetland assemblages in the City’s portfolio. To the extent that time and resources permitted, the Task Force also addressed hundreds of smaller wetland properties as well. Properties were evaluated on the basis of size, proximity to existing parklands, and other environmental or economic criteria. Recommendations included Transfer to DPR (NYC Department of Parks & Recreation) or other agencies, Special Review (where further investigation was deemed necessary before a decision can be made on the property’s future status), or No Change (where the property did not meet the criteria for transfer). Early on, the Task Force agreed to consider some of the important policies that govern wetlands in New York City. Recommendations on these policy issues are offered as well. In submitting our report to the Mayor and Speaker of the Council, the Task Force looks forward to the City’s comments, as well as continued action and stewardship in protecting and enhancing our remaining wetlands.

CANDIDATE REFERENCE AREAS SELECTED FOR RECONNAISSANCE SAMPLING The areas to be sampled, shown on Figure 1, are generally located throughout Jamaica Bay and along portions of Lower and Upper East River. The 14 candidate reference areas shown were selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) on September 27, 2012 (Kwan 2012) after review of proposed candidate reference areas. These 14 areas were selected to provide multiple candidate areas within four general categories—industrial with combined sewer overflows (CSOs), industrial with no or minimal CSO input, non-industrial with CSOs, and non-industrial with no or minimal CSO input. Table 1 lists the 14 candidate reference areas and the general category they were placed in. The target locations within each candidate reference area are shown on Figures 2 through 15 and are listed in Table 2 of this memorandum. The sampling activities to be completed, which are summarized in this memorandum, will be performed in a manner consistent with the methods outlined in the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Work Plan (RI/FS Work Plan; AECOM 2011) and described in greater detail in the Field Sampling and Analysis Plan (FSAP; Anchor QEA 2011a).

  • Staten Island
    Staten Island Waterfront History By Carlotta DeFillo taten Island has 35 miles of waterfront. It is bordered by Newark Bay and the Kill van Kull on the north, Upper New York Bay, the Narrows, S Lower New York Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Raritan Bay on the south and the Arthur Kill or Staten Island Sound on the west. Several smaller islands sit offshore. Shooters Island near Mariners Harbor was home to Standard Shipbuilding Corp. and Prall’s Island is a bird sanctuary. Off South Beach lie the man-made Hoffman and Swinburne Islands. These two islands were built for use as the quarantine station in 1872, and abandoned in 1933. During World War II they were used for military training, only to be aban- doned again at war’s end. The earliest inhabitants of Staten Island were Algonkian-speaking Native Americans who set up camps along the shores in the areas of Tottenville, Prince’s Bay, Great Kills, Arrochar, Stapleton, West New Brighton, Mariners Harbor and Fresh Kills. They harvested berries, fi sh, oysters and clams, and even ran the Island’s earliest ferries. The fi rst Europeans set foot on Staten Island in Tompkinsville at the Watering Place, a spring of fresh water near the shore, before 1623. The earliest public ferry was in operation in Stapleton by 1708, and by the 1770s ten ferry lines connected Staten Island to New Jersey, Manhattan and Brooklyn. The best-known Island ferryman was Cornelius Vanderbilt, who started an empire from his single sailboat ferry, starting in 1810.
