On October 15, 2010, the New York City Department of City Planning, on behalf of the City Planning Commission as lead agency, issued a Notice of Completion for a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Final SEIS) for the Riverside Center project.

A public hearing on the Draft SEIS was held on Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Comments were accepted at the hearing and for ten days following the hearing until Monday, September 27, 2010. The Final SEIS incorporates responses to the public comments received on the Draft SEIS and additional analysis conducted subsequent to the completion of the Draft SEIS.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Draft SEIS, the project sponsor has proposed additional actions that would apply the Inclusionary Housing Program to the Proposed Project.  A technical memorandum assessing whether the additional actions would alter the conclusions presented in the Draft SEIS and whether the revised methodologies contained in the 2010 New York City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual (effective May 17, 2010) would change the results of the Draft SEIS analyses or conclusions was conducted and is available through the link below.  The analyses presented in the technical memorandum has been incorporated into the Final SEIS.
