Board schedules July DEIS scoping session for Estates at Rock Hill
Summary
The Planning Board set a July 8 public scoping session for the Estates at Rock Hill DEIS after applicants submitted a draft scope and a DEIS; the Board asked that the applicant's engineer attend and noted referenced studies must be scientific to be included in the DEIS.
Richard Steinberg, the property owner for Estates at Rock Hill, and attorney Ronald Steinberg asked the Planning Board to schedule a scoping session after submitting a draft scoping document and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).
Board members reviewed the draft scope and noted it references two future studies that, if included in the DEIS, must be supported by scientific analysis. The Board set the public scoping session for July 8, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. and adjusted the regular meeting to start at 7:30 p.m. to accommodate the session. The Board asked that the applicant's engineer attend to be prepared to address public comments.
Why it matters: The scoping session will determine the scope of environmental review for a major subdivision and instruct the DEIS on what studies and impacts must be analyzed.
