Environmental review flags potential impacts to historic sites on Route 97 project
Summary
An Environmental Assessment Form read at the meeting notes that archaeological and historic resources listed in or eligible for the New York State and National Register of Historic Places could be impacted by the Route 97 project; project identifiers and contacts were read into the record.
During the meeting a member read aloud portions of the project's Environmental Assessment Form (EAF), noting that "archaeological and or historic resources, listed in or eligible for the New York State and National Registry of Historic Places will be impacted by this project." The reading included a project reference (12770) and site contact information for Peter Torgenson of Environmental Sciences at an address in Pearl River, N.Y.
Board members did not take final action on mitigation or design changes during the discussion recorded in the transcript. The disclosure in the EAF flags the need for follow-up review by staff or agencies responsible for historic-preservation assessment before permitting or construction proceeds.
