The WRP policies—including their goals, standards and criteria, as well as further explanation of the WRP regulatory framework and review process—are presented in the New Waterfront Revitalization Program (WRP) (full document: 5.6 mb).

Alternatively, the text of the program description and the maps may be downloaded individually:

• Parts I and II contain an explanation of the program, its regulatory and planning context, the consistency determination process, and the new WRP policies.
  
• Maps of the Special Natural Waterfront Areas (SNWA):
  East River - Long Island Sound
  Jamaica Bay
  Northwest Staten Island - Harbor Herons
  
• Maps of the Significant Maritime and Industrial Areas (SMIA):
  South Bronx
  Newtown Creek
  Brooklyn Navy Yard
  Red Hook
  Sunset Park
  Staten Island

Project sponsors may view the NYC Coastal Zone Boundary on ZoLa or as PDF maps to determine whether a proposed project would be subject to WRP consistency review.

Applications for actions within the city's Coastal Zone generally require submission of a NYC WRP Consistency Assessment Form. NOTE: You may fill out the form in the Acrobat Reader prior to printing.
