The Second Supplement addresses several changes being proposed for the cable route and the direct current ("DC") to alternating current ("AC") converter station associated with the Long Island segment of the proposed transmission facility, the only segment Neptune RTS• is seeking authority to construct and operate at this time. The changes detailed in the Second Supplement are: A change in the undersea to upland transition (or "landfall") location from the southern terminus of the Wantagh State Parkway at Island Creek, to a location east of the Jones Beach State Park Fishing Pier near the southern terminus of the Jones Beach Causeway. Associated with the new landfall location, approximately three miles of additional upland cable routing within the Jones Beach Causeway right-of-way, and an equivalent reduction of three miles of submarine cable routing within Hempstead Bay.

Associated with the converter station relocation, the addition of 1.7 miles of underground cable routing within the Wantagh State Parkway right-of-way in which the DC cable will be extended and an AC cable connecting the converter station to LIPA's Newbridge Road Substation will be located. There are no new material adverse environmental impacts associated with these changes. Neptune representatives have consulted extensively with local residents, community groups, and civic leaders about the change in the proposed location of the converter station. The Second Supplement includes a discussion of the questions and comments raised in those consultations, along with information as to how Neptune has addressed those questions and comments. The enclosed Second Supplement includes revised portions of the Application and supplemental materials that describe the changes and assess potential impacts associated with the changes.

    Abstract CHARACTERIZING PATTERNS AND DRIVERS OF LAND USE/LAND COVER CHANGE ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST BARRIER BEACHES: EXAMINING THE ROLES OF DEVELOPMENT PRESSURE, SPATIAL ACCESSIBILITY, AND POLICY By Andrew T. Bennett April 2013 Director of Dissertation: Thomas W. Crawford Major Department: Coastal Resources Management Ph.D. Program The coastal environment is an ever-changing multifaceted region that continues to evolve from natural processes as well as anthropogenic inputs over time. The purpose of this research is to create a better understanding of the coastal environment of the United States; more specifically the social and physical landscapes of Atlantic coast barrier beaches. In doing so it will move towards a science of U.S. coastal land cover change science. This is important because human land behaviors on the coast have important effects on both natural and cultural resources, terrestrial and marine environments, and regional sense of place. Because of this explicitly coastal-themed research is needed to understand the patterns and drivers of coastal landscape change in ways that integrate the biophysical and social science domains. This dissertation is comprised of three main parts that examine different aspects of Atlantic barrier beach land change and coastal development. Chapter 3, which is entitled “Landscapes and Land Cover Characterization of the U.S. Atlantic Barrier Coast: A Place-Based Typological Classification, 1990-2000” creates a placed based typology of barrier beach units across the Atlantic coast. Many of the U.S. Atlantic coast’s barrier beaches have undergone a shift in place identity from elite getaway destinations and small fishing communities to tourist-driven, place- based destinations.

The ECOs followed one duck hunter back to his house on the water and as the Officers pulled up to his dock, ECO Farrish noticed a floating fish tote attached to his dock. The hunter had shot one black duck and had no other hunting or navigation violations. The Officers started making their way back to their patrol boat when Officer Eastwood asked, “whose tote is this, and what’s in it?” The hunter replied, “It’s mine and it’s just some green crabs for bait. Officer Farrish opened one side of the tote. Inside were eight tiny blackfish, along with some green crabs. He admitted that he was using them for Striped Bass bait and wanted a break because he had not caught one Striped Bass while using them as bait all season. The hunter was issued a ticket for eight undersize blackfish.

  • 1.2 Geographic Scope of the Long Beach Community Reconstruction Plan
    This document was developed by the Long Beach Planning Committee as part of the NY Rising Community Reconstruction (NYRCR) Program within the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery. The NYRCR Program is supported by NYS Homes and Community Renewal, NYS Department of State, and NYS Department of Transportation. Assistance was provided by the following consulting firms: URS Corporation, Sustainable Long Island, the LiRo Group, AIM Development, Jamie Caplan Consulting LLC (JCC), and Planning4Places, LLC. The top three photographs on the cover were taken by planning team members. Bottom cover photograph is from Spencer Pratt/Getty Images News/Getty Images and used with permission. Long Beach Conceptual Plan FOREWORD The New York Rising Community Reconstruction (NYRCR) program was established by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to provide additional rebuilding and revitalization assistance to communities damaged by Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Irene, and Tropical Storm Lee. This program empowers communities to prepare locally-driven recovery plans to identify innovative reconstruction projects and other needed actions to allow each community not only to survive, but also to thrive in an era when natural risks will become increasingly common. The NYRCR program is managed by the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery in conjunction with New York State Homes and Community Renewal and the Department of State. The NYRCR program consists of both planning and implementation phases, to assist communities in making informed recovery decisions. The development of this conceptual plan is the result of innumerable hours of effort from volunteer planning committee members, members of the public, municipal employees, elected officials, state employees, and planning consultants.

The origin of this show began when Assad visited Pittsfield, Mass., during the summer of 2009. Inspired by the rapidly changing city, she sought out a single object to interpret for her upcoming solo show. Her search produced images from the Smithsonian’s archives of a transformer manufactured by General Electric in Pittsfield. Seeking additional information, she discovered how the transformer it symbolized the transitions taking place in the region and by extension, the world. The image of the large transformer from the 1950s became the starting point for her show of sculptural forms based on vestigial buildings and objects. Vestigial Tales, a series of sculptural forms based on objects and architecture, is Assad’s first solo show at the gallery. Designed and produced in her San Francisco studio, Assad’s work pays homage to American industry in transition. Assad explains, “Whether architectural, biological, or mechanical in origin, vestigial objects and their history of use both perplex and attract me.” For Assad, an artist whose first career aspirations were aerospace engineering, the “transformer” is symbolic of the transition taking place from creativity in industry to creative industries.

  • Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan for Select Historic Long Island
    Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan for Select Historic Long Island Parkways Project Overview A scenic byway is a roadway corridor that has outstanding scenic, natural, recreational, cultural, archaeological or historic signicance. These Long Island parkways are designated scenic byways under the New York State Scenic Byways Program because of their outstanding and unique historic and scenic character, which are also recognized in State and National Registers of Historic Places. Selected Scenic Byways Municipalities along the Byway • Bethpage State Parkway Nassau County Suolk County • Wantagh State Parkway • Town of Hempstead • Town of Babylon • Meadowbrook State Parkway • Town of Oyster Bay • Town of Islip • Loop Parkway • Village of Freeport • Village of Farmingdale • Bay Parkway • Village of Massapequa Park • Ocean Parkway The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has retained The RBA Group to develop a Corridor Management Plan (CMP) that outlines strategies to protect, improve and promote the places and features that characterize these historic Parkways. The Plan will assess the unique character of the Parkways and will identify actions that can be taken by local communities, visitor sites, managing agencies and others. The Plan will include an implementation strategy and will provide access to new funding sources and technical assistance. This one and a half year project will engage public and private stakeholders in a collaborative process to improve the traveler’s experience and to benet the local economy through Byway tourism. An Advisory Committee of public and private stakeholders will guide the planning process and the public will be invited to provide input at key junctures. This project is sponsored by NYSDOT with funding from the Federal Highway Administration.
