  • About Fresh Kills
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION : 2001 ABOUT FRESH KILLS Fresh Kills Landfill is located on the western shore of Staten Island. Approximately half the 2,200-acre landfill is composed of four mounds, or sections, identified as 1/9, 2/8, 3/4 and 6/7 which range in height from 90 feet to approximately 225 feet. These mounds are the result of more than 50 years of landfilling, primarily household waste. Two of the four mounds are fully capped and closed; the other two are being prepared for final capping and closure. Fresh Kills is a highly engineered site, with numerous systems put in place to protect public health and environmental safety. However, roughly half the site has never been filled with garbage or was filled more than twenty years ago. These flatter areas and open waterways host everything from landfill infrastructure and roadways to intact wetlands and wildlife habitats. The potential exists for these areas, and eventually, the mounds themselves, to support broader and more active uses. With effective preparation now, the city can, over time, transform this controversial site into an important asset for Staten Island, the city and the region. Before dumping began, Fresh Kills Landfill was much like the rest of northwest Staten Island. That is, most of the landfill was a salt or intertidal marsh. The topography was low-lying, with a subsoil of clay and soils of sand and silt. The remainder of the area was originally farmland, either actively farmed, or abandoned and in stages of succession. Although Fresh Kills Landfill is not a wholly natural environment, the site has developed its own unique ecology.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

The East of Hudson Rail Freight Operations Task Force is committed to the restoration of price- and service-competitive freight rail service in the areas of the New York metropolitan region east of the Hudson River. The Task Force seeks to accomplish this objective through bringing together elected officials, carriers and public agencies at regularly scheduled meetings where any issue that hinders or can assist in the restoration of competitive rail service is discussed openly.

  • Attachment a Project Description & Screening
    ATTACHMENT A PROJECT DESCRIPTION & SCREENING ANALYSES New York Container Terminal Expansion EAS Attachment A: Project Description and Screening Analyses I. INTRODUCTION This attachment provides a detailed description of the Proposed Action, including project description, the Proposed Action’s purpose and need, and the governmental approvals required for implementation. In addition, this attachment examines the potential for the Proposed Action to result in significant adverse impacts in any CEQR technical area. The attachment has been prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth in the CEQR Technical Manual. Using the guidelines and methodologies in the CEQR Technical Manual, supplemental (“screening”) analyses were conducted for the Proposed Action in each of the Manual’s impact categories. For each of the impact categories, the screening analysis is intended to determine whether a further, more detailed impact assessment in the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is appropriate for this Proposed Action, and whether the potential for adverse impacts can be ruled out. This application is for a set of actions (referred to collectively as the “Proposed Action”) relating to the proposed expansion of New York Container Terminal, Inc. (NYCT) operations in Staten Island Community District 1. The Proposed Action would facilitate the construction and installation of a new 50-foot deep container ship berth (“Berth 4”) and associated marine container terminal on a portion of the former Port Ivory site, a previously utilized marine-related site and partial brownfield located adjacent to the existing NYCT facility. The proposed berth and associated marine container terminal would be located on an approximately 39-acre site (referred to as the “Berth 4 site”), which encompasses part of Block 1306, Lot 14; and Block 1309, Lots 1, 2, 10 and part of Lot 5.
