The parcel is a located within the Southold Historic District and is a Type I action. On December 8,
2020 the Town Planning Department on behalf of the Lead Agency coordinated with the following
involved agencies and interested parties.
Southold Highway Department
Southold Town Engineer
Southold Fire District
Southold Police Department
Southold Historic Preservation Commission
NYS Department of Transportation
NYS DEC-Stony Brook
NYS Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation
Suffolk County Department of Health Services
Suffolk County Water Authority
Suffolk County Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning
The purpose of coordination is to seek comments from each agency,to determine lead agency and
coordinate review under Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act-SEQRA) of the
Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617. Agencies are asked to provide:
1. Comments or requirements the Town Board should take into consideration while reviewing
the proposed project;
2. Issues of concern you believe should be evaluated;
3. Jurisdiction in the action described below; and
4. Interest in assuming the responsibilities of lead agency under SEAR.
Responses from each agency are discussed where applicable.
The success of the application would involve several steps.
1. Change of Zone from HB to AHD on the property.
2. Residential Site Plan approval.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
A Full Environmental Assessment Form has been reviewed. The determination was based upon the
following:
1. Impact on Land
The 48,707 sq. ft. or 1.12 acre parcel is improved with a single-family dwelling and driveway fronting
NYS Route 25. The parcel spans from NYS Route 25 to Traveler Street and is located within the
Southold Hamlet Center.
SLCRA Negative Delaratin Paye 3 1nua51
Land uses surrounding the parcel include a mixture of commercial, residential and community
services. To the north and adjacent to this parcel is Traveler Street and a storage facility. To the south
is NYS Route 25 and a bank. To the east is the United States Post Office and a large commercial center
that includes restaurants, and service businesses. To the west is the Southold Town Hall and a retail
shop.
The parcel is currently zoned Hamlet Business HB. The purpose of the HB Zoning District is described
in Town Code as follows:
"The purpose of the Hamlet Business (HB) District is to provide for business development in the hamlet
central business areas, including retail, office and service uses, public and semipublic uses, as well as
hotel and motel and multifamily residential development that will support and enhance the retail
development and provide a focus for the hamlet area."
The current use on the parcel is not in conflict with the HB zoned surrounding properties that support
commercial and residential uses.
The purpose of the AHD Zoning District is described in Town Code as follows:
"To provide the opportunity within certain areas of the Town for the development of high-density
housing for families of moderate income; and further, to do so with sensitivity to the historic and
aesthetic character of the Town's existing neighborhoods. Towards that end, the Planning Board shall
have the authority to amend certain setback and other specifications in order to ensure cost
efficiencies and design that furthers the Town's goals of providing quality workforce housing. Homes
located within the Affordable Housing District are intended to be affordable in perpetuity. The
amendments set forth in Local Law No. 13-2004 apply only to development in an AHD District after
June 1, 2004."
The AHD Zoning District supports the creation of affordable housing opportunities in residential and
commercial areas. The proposal is not in conflict with the historic or aesthetic character of the
existing neighborhood. The existing single-family residence on NYS Route 25 is proposed to be
retained and improved. The architecture of the three buildings in the rear of the parcel will be
designed to support the historic and aesthetic character of the Hamlet.
Bulk Schedule Compliance
The proposed yield does not comply with the AHD Zoning District § 280-28. Bulk, area and parking
regulations.
The AHD Zoning District requires 10,000 sq. ft. of land area for each tenant-occupied moderate-
income family dwelling unit (unit) to meet yield unless the maximum unit size is less than 850 sq. ft. If
the unit is less than 850 sq. ft. the required land area is reduced to 3,300 sq. ft. per unit.
The total lot area is 48,707 sq. ft. This lot area would yield 14 units if all were less than 850 sq. ft.
each. A total of 14 units are proposed:Twelve units are proposed at 813 sq. ft. and the two are
proposed at 972 sq. ft. and 1,007 sq. ft.
SE RA Ne ative Declaration - Pae 4—Januar 15 2021
Based on unit size and the bulk schedule requirements,the twelve units require 39,600 sq. ft. of
buildable lands to meet yield (12 units x 3,300 sq. ft./unit). The remaining two require 10,000 sq. ft.
of buildable lands each. Therefore, the 14 units would require a total lot area of 59,600 sq. ft. This
exceeds the total lot area of the parcel by 10,893 sq. ft.
The proposed yield does not comply with the AHD Zoning District § 280-28. Bulk, area and parking
regulations. It should be noted, however, that only minor changes to the proposal would be needed
to bring it into bulk schedule compliance.
No moderate to large adverse impacts on land are expected to occur as a result of the action.
2. Impact on Geological Features
The proposed project site does not contain nor is it adjacent to any unique geologic features.
3. Impact on Water
1. Water Supply
The parcel is not located over a Special Groundwater Protection Area or adjacent to, or in close
proximity to wetlands. The parcel is located over the Nassau-Suffolk Sole Source Aquifer. The FEAF
indicates that groundwater occurs at +15' below grade and the depth is sufficient to install
subsurface utilities and infrastructure (drywells). Public water is available to the parcel via a Suffolk
County Water Authority (SCWA) water main located in NYS Route 25.
The parcel is located within SCDHS Groundwater Management Zone IV, which according to Article 6
of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, has an allowable flow of 600 gallons per day (gpd) per acre in
areas served by public water. The sanitary design flow is computed using SCDHS manual Standards
for Approval of Plans and Construction for Sewage Disposal Systems for Single Family Residences. The
manual establishes 300 GPD for a single-family residence.
Impact from Irrigation
The largest use of water in the Town is the irrigation of lawns, which increases during droughts. As
the population of the Town continues to grow, increased demand on the water supply system will
occur, forcing an expansion of the public water supply system. To conserve water the use of rain
sensors to prevent automatic sprinklers from activating on rainy days is recommended to conserve
potable water. The applicability of this mitigation will be discussed during Planning Board review.
Mitigation to conserve potable water required by the Planning Board may include, installing low flow
fixtures, retaining vegetated areas, establishing vegetated buffers to minimize turf areas, limiting
irrigated areas, requiring native and drought tolerant plant species and applying fertilizer and
herbicide best management practices to landscaped areas.
2. Sanitary Disposal
Both the Long Island Sound and Peconic Estuary have experienced detrimental changes from
increased nutrient loads to ground and surface waters. In the Long Island Sound, and more recently in
5E RA Ne stave [ ecl 'rat�crrp - Pae Ja tsar J5 2021
the Peconic Estuary, low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions (hypoxia) develop due to excessive levels
of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P). Hypoxia is a result of planktonic algae blooms that feed on the
nutrients. The algae die and settle to the bottom of the water body then decay, using up DO in the
process. The oxygen levels frequently fall below the levels necessary to sustain life and often results
in fish and shellfish die offs. Correspondingly, the planktonic algae is also toxic to shellfish and finfish
in high densities; this also often results in the death of species (Southold Town Comprehensive Plan
2020).
The total amount of sanitary waste would increase as a result of constructing 13 additional units on-
site to total 14 and will impact ground water and eventually surface water quality over time through
the introduction of nitrogen and other nutrients and chemicals.
The total sanitary calculated flow for the units is 3,150 gallons per day (GPD). The total allotted flow
for the parcel is deficient for the number of units proposed and the applicant has received a variance
from the Suffolk County Department of Health Services Board of Review (BOR) to develop at double
density.
On July 23, 2020 the BOR granted a variance for the application with five conditions including the
required installation of a I/A OWTS and Town Board approval for the use of Town Sanitary Flow
Credits. The construction of 14 units requires the transfer of 2550 GPD or 15 sanitary flow credits
from the Town Sanitary Flow Credit Bank. The Sanitary Flow Credit Program was developed by the
Town to facilitate the development of affordable housing while mitigating nitrogen loading through
the purchase of open space. The purpose of the program includes the preservation of open space, the
rural, cultural, and historic character of the hamlets and surrounding countryside, the natural
environment and prevention of further deterioration of resources, preservation and promotion of a
broad range of housing and business opportunities to support a socioeconomically diverse
community; and increase transportation efficiency.
In addition to the mitigation provided by the transfer of sanitary flow, the action proposes the
installation of Hydro-Action Innovative/Alternative On-site Wastewater Treatment Systems (I/A
OWTS) to treat wastewater and reduce total nitrogen to protect ground and surface waters.
Further mitigation to reduce nitrogen loading, other nutrients and chemicals to preserve and
conserve potable water will be required if the residential site plan is improved; these include the
establishment of vegetated buffers, limiting irrigated areas, requiring native and drought tolerant
plant species and applying fertilizer and herbicide best management practices to landscaped areas
required by the Planning Board.
Recognizing the problem of Nitrogen (nitrates) loading in ground and surface waters, the Suffolk
County Legislature established a goal of reducing fertilization in residential areas by 10 to 25 percent,
and passed Local Law 41-2007 to reduce Nitrogen pollution countywide. The law states that "the
quality of our water should be considered a higher priority than the aesthetics of lawns, and those
high maintenance lawns require more Nitrogen and are more likely to leach excess Nitrogen, so that
high maintenance lawns associated with residential and commercial properties should be
discouraged".
Correspondingly, in July 2010, New York State adopted the Dishwasher Detergent and Nutrient Run-
off Law to reduce phosphorus loading to its ground and surface waters. On August 14, 2010, the law
SE RA Negative Declaration - Pae 1 6—Janus 15 2021
prohibited the sale of newly stocked, phosphorus-containing dishwasher detergents for household
use. On July 1, 2013, the law also prohibited the sale of phosphorus-containing dishwasher
detergents for commercial use. The law defines a commercial establishment as "any premises used
for the purpose of carrying on or exercising any trade, business, profession, vocation, or commercial
or charitable activity, including but not limited to laundries, hospitals, and food or restaurant
establishments."
The Planning Board requires the following BMP's to further lessen impact on surface water and
ground water quality or quantity:
a. Require the use of native, drought-tolerant plants in landscaping.
b. Require only the use of organic fertilizers where the water-soluble nitrogen is
no more than 20% of the total nitrogen in the mixture.
C. Require a maximum of 1 Ib. of nitrogen per 1000 square feet in any one
application, with a cumulative application of no more than 2 lbs. per 1,000
square feet per year.
d. Prohibit the application of fertilizer products containing nitrogen, phosphorus,
or potassium between November 1st and April 1st.
e. The use of phosphorous containing lawn fertilizer is prohibited unless
establishing a new lawn or soil test shows that the lawn does not have enough
phosphorus. Fertilizer labels have three bold numbers. The number in the
middle is the percentage of phosphorus in the product, e.g. 22-0-15. Use of
products with 0.67 in the middle or lower is not restricted. Products with a
number higher than 0.67 may only be used if a new lawn is being established or
a soil test indicates it is necessary.
In consideration of the above expected mitigation discussed above, adverse impacts from the
introduction of nitrogen, other nutrients and chemicals as a result of this action are expected to be
low.
No moderate to large adverse impacts to ground water or surface waters are expected to occur.
4. Impact on Flooding
The action is not located within a floodway, 100-year floodplain or 500-year floodplain. Drainage will
be controlled via on-site control structures pursuant to Chapter 236 Stormwater Management of the
Southold Town Code. The site is noted as being well-drained.
Adverse impacts on flooding are expected to be none too low. No impacts to floodways are expected
to occur.
5. Impact on Air
Air pollution can harm human health, and damage elements of the ecosystem. Exposure to air
pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac,
vascular, and neurological impairments. The movements of vehicles on site are capable of causing
periodic low levels of fugitive dust in short duration during construction on site. Once the site is
developed, fugitive dust generated from the project is expected to be very low.
SE RA Negative Declaration - Pae 77jApjjACLj5,M
No substantial adverse change in existing air quality is expected to occur.
6. Impact on Plants and Animals
The parcel is not located within a New York State Department of State Significant Fish and Wildlife
Habitat Area. The parcel is currently improved with a single-family residence and bordered to the
north and south by roads, a large parking area to the west and a large commercial center to the east.
Portions of the parcel are wooded. Animal species on site are expected to be indicative of those
found in neighborhood settings (small mammals, deer and bird species). The use of the site by
reptiles and amphibians is expected to be low as there is little available water sources. The use of
transient wildlife species is expected to be low. It is not expected that the construction of 14 units on
the parcel would have a moderate to large impact on wildlife in this
residential/commercial area.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Environmental Resource Mapper
was consulted to determine if the parcel or area is identified as containing rare, endangered or
threatened plants and animals or significant natural communities; none were identified. However, if
the parcel is developed it is recommended that the Planning Board contact the NYSDEC to discuss
required management protocols for the eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) and the
northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) during residential site plan review.
No significant removal or destruction of large quantities (greater than 10 acres) of vegetation will
occur as a result of this action. Correspondingly, no substantial interference with the movement of
any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species nor impacts on a significant habitat area will occur as
a result of this action.
7. Impact on Agricultural Land Resources
The parcel is not designated an Agricultural District. The Suffolk County Soil Survey (1975) and FEAF
identifies parcel soils as Haven Loam (HaA) comprising 79 percent of the parcel and Riverhead and
Haven Soils (RhB) 21 percent. Haven Loam is prime farmland soil indicative of outwash plains, level
and have slight erosion potential. The soil is well suited for all crops. Riverhead and Haven Soils are
not listed as prime farmland soils.
Areas of prime and statewide importance agricultural soils will be impacted and lost with the
development of this site; however, the total acreage is less than 3.7 acres and the site is not actively
farmed. The loss of agricultural lands will not be significant in this residential/commercial area.
Site topography is flat with slopes ranging from 0-10 percent. There are no development restrictions
for the soil groups or slopes.
8. Impact on Aesthetic Resources
The parcel is visible to travelers on Traveler Street looking south and it is expected that the proposed,
newly constructed three, two-story buildings will be partially visible. The application shows the
construction of three, two-story buildings in addition to the conversion of the existing single-family
residence into two units. Buildings 1 and 2 are oriented lengthways north and south thereby
positioning the sides with the shortest length (285) facing Traveler Street. Building 3 will be oriented
SE RA Ike ative Declaratior - Page 8.=lanuary 1 , 202.1
so that the front (64.0') will face the road, however, an existing wooded area nearly equal to the
length is proposed to remain between the road and Building 3 to provide screening. Fall and Winter
months will provide greater visibility of the buildings to users of Traveler Street and Hortons Lane.
The parcel is also visible to traveler's on NYS Route 25, a designated New York Scenic Byway. The
view from the roadway looking north is of an existing, single-family residence. The single-family
residence is proposed to be converted into two units and the view into the parcel from the road will
remain unchanged.
The establishment of screening using existing vegetation to form vegetative buffers is recommended
if a residential site plan is approved by the Planning Board. Vegetative buffers will partially screen
Buildings 1 through 3 from public roads.
The proposed residential use is consistent with the mixed-use character of the
residential/commercial area. No substantial adverse impacts to aesthetic resources are expected to
occur.
9. Impact on Cultural and Archeological Resources
The NYS CRIS identifies the parcel as within the Southold Historic District. The Bender House is
located on the parcel and listed in the State Register. The house is proposed to be converted from a
single-family structure to a two-family structure. Elevations have not been provided for the
conversion, therefore, we are unaware of the architecture proposed. Since the parcel is located
within the Southold Historic District the Town of Southold Historic Preservation Commission will
review any changes to the fagade of the existing structure and any new construction pursuant to §
170-6. Certificate of appropriateness for alteration, demolition or new construction of the Southold
Town Code. If the proposed architecture of the alterations and new construction support the historic
character of the area, a certificate of appropriateness will be issued.
The Burns House and Rose-Tuthill House structures located to the west of the parcel are also within
the Southold Historic District. This action will not directly impact the two structures.
Coordination with the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is required. On December
8, 2020, the Town Planning Department, on behalf of the Lead Agency, coordinated this Type I action
with the New York State Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) to solicit
comments or concerns about the action. On January 6, 2021, Ms. Robyn Sedgwick, Historic Site
Restoration Coordinator provided the following comments:
1. "We note that the proposed interior and exterior renovation of The Bender House should
follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation, and retain as
much of the building's historic fabric,finishes and character as possible. Please see the
National Park Service's Preservation Brief No. 18: Rehabilitating Interiors in Historic
Buildings—Identifying Character-Defining Elements (https://www.nps.gov/tps/how-
topreserve/briefs/18-rehabilitating-interiors.htm)for guidance on retaining historic
integrity during a rehabilitation."0
2. "The three buildings proposed for construction should be designed to be compatible with
the historic character of the Southold Historic District. The new buildings should be
compatible with the massing, size, scale, and materials of the surrounding historic
SE ISA N ative Declaration - Page 9-Janna 15 2021
buildings. Please see the National Park Service's Preservation Brief No. 14: New Exterior
Additions to Historic Buildings: Preservation Concerns (https.11www.nps.govltps/how-to-
preserve/briefs/14-exterior-additions.htm)for guidance on designing compatible
structures.
if the lead agency concludes that additional studies would be beneficial to identify and/or
assess potential impacts to archeological and historic resources eligible for the registers,
the OPRHP would be pleased to provide additional guidance."
The letter is attached. Adverse impacts on cultural resources are not expected to be significant.
10. Impact on Open Space and Recreation
The parcel is privately owned, no significant impacts to public open space or recreational areas will
occur as a result of this action.
11. Impact on Critical Environmental Areas
The parcel is not located within a designated New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) Critical Environmental Area.
No impacts to a NYSDEC Critical Environmental Area will occur.
12. Impact on Transportation
The parcel is located north of NYS Route 25; an arterial road, south of Traveler Street and east of
Horton Lane, both collector streets. Traveler Street intersects with Hortons Lane to the east and
Youngs Avenue to the west.
Hortons Lane intersects with NYS Route 25 and is controlled by a STOP sign in the south and a
signalized intersection at Suffolk County Route 48 in the north.
Youngs Avenue also intersects with NYS Route 25 in the south and Suffolk County Route 48 in the
north. Both of the intersections are signalized.
An increase in vehicle trips is expected on area roads if the AHD zoning district is applied and the 14
units are developed. The unsignalized Horton Lane intersection is expected to be most impacted from
an increase in vehicle trips from the development. The road is a main connector between two arterial
roadways, just east of the public schools and a nearby school crossing location and provides access to
the commercial area of Southold. The level of service (or time is seconds that a vehicle can enter the
travel lane from Hortons Lane) is expected to increase from this development, however, it is not
anticipated that the increase would be significant due to the other route options to and from the
development.
The 8th ITE Trip Generation manual estimates a total of 92 daily vehicle trips for the 14 affordable
apartments and 8 PM peak trips using the Low-Rise Apartment (1-2 story) modelling. Due to the size
of the apartments, this calculation is expected to be greater than the actual vehicle trips generated.
Factors that would affect the total number of vehicle trips in this location are the use of different
SE RptNe ative Declaration - Pa e 1O-�JaL uar�211
modes of transportation, proximity to employment and if the units are occupied by Seniors who tend
to drive less.
Parcel Access
The parcel has 189.10' of frontage along Traveler Street and 37' along NYS Route 25. Both distances
are adequate to locate or maintain existing access to the parcel. Access to the 12 units located in the
three separate buildings in the rear of the parcel is proposed from Traveler Street with a new curb
cut. Access to the two units in the existing single-family dwelling is proposed from NYS Route 25 using
the existing driveway.
The Town of Southold Highway Superintendent in a December 15, 2020 email indicated that he has
no objections to establishing a new curb cut on Traveler Street. No comments on the action from the
NYSDOT were received.
Public Transportation
Both the train station and bus stops are within walking distance of the parcel. The Long Island Rail
Road Station is located to the east on Traveler Street.
The nearest bus stop is located just east of the parcel in front of the Feather Hill commercial center..
Suffolk County operates bus service throughout the Town.
Private Transportation
Private transportation via local taxi and ride-sharing companies are available to future residents.
Pedestrian and Bic list.Modes
There is a sidewalk on the north and south sides of NYS Route 25 that provides ample access to
pedestrians from the parcel to the surrounding area and commercial businesses and services. The
sidewalk system continues uninterrupted to the Southold Union Free Public Schools.
Transportation by bicycle on area roadways is available.
Moderate to large adverse impacts to transportation are not expected.
13. Impact of Energy
The average estimated amount of electricity consumed by a residential customer in New York is 602
KWh per month per household (Note that a refrigerator would use 146 KWh per month). Based on
the number of proposed units,the total amount of electricity consumed is estimated to be 7,224
KWh to 9,926 KWh per month, however, the actual use is anticipated in being lower due to the size
and occupancy of the units.
Units will be constructed with Energy Star certified appliances, thus mitigating the amount of
electricity required.
SE RA ire ative Declartior� iia e Januar 1S 2021
No major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur.
14. Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light
The residential use proposed will not be a large generator of noise. On-site noise is currently
generated from the normal activities associated with the residential use on-site and the commercial
mixed-use area surrounding the parcel. Noise resulting exceeding ambient levels is expected to occur
and during a 6-month construction period and be short term in duration and periodic.
Odors capable of affecting the quality of life or health of residents from the construction or operation
of this residential use are not expected.
Lighting on site will comply with Chapter 172. Lighting, Outdoor in the Southold Town Code will not
adversely impact adjacent properties or the night sky. Lighting will be reviewed to compliance with
the chapter during residential site plan review.
Moderate to large adverse impacts on noise, odor, and light are not expected.
15. Impact on Human Health
The NYSDEC Spills or Remediation Database was consulted to determine if any open spill files for the
parcel or surrounding area occur. The search did not reveal any open spill files.
The Environmental Protection Agency reports that a total of 4.9 pounds of solid waste is generated
per person per day. The U.S Census Bureau indicates the number of persons per household in the
Town of Southold from 2015 to 2019 is 2.3,therefore the estimated amount of solid waste generated
from the action is 157+ lbs. per day or roughly 4,891+ lbs. per month. Solid waste generated on-site
is expected to be carted to the Southold Landfill/Transfer Station or other permitted disposal location
by a private refuse company. The estimated amount of solid waste generated is not significant.
Future site improvements will be required to comply with Chapter 236 Stormwater Management of
the Southold Town Code to control stormwater on-site.
No moderate to large adverse impacts resulting from solid waste or leaching and drainage problems
are expected to occur. No adverse effect or hazard to human health is expected to occur.
16. Consistency with Community Plans
The Southold Town Comprehensive Plan Economic, Land Use and Housing Chapters include goals
which support the creation of affordable housing. This proposal is consistent with those goals. The
proposed action is also consistent with the Town of Southold Hamlet Study (2005-2009), the Town of
Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (2005) and the Long Island North Shore Heritage
Area, a Regional Special Planning District designed to organize people, places and connections into a
comprehensive and understandable approach.
SE RA Negative Declaration- Pae 1 12—january 15 2021
17. Consistency with Community Character
The development of 14 units will affect community character with an increase in vehicle trips and
noise, however, the impacts are expected to be low and not disruptive to the residential/commercial
setting.
Moderate to large impacts on community services are not expected. The 14 affordable apartments
may house school aged children that would attend Southold Union Free School District. Statistics
show that the number of students in the district grades K-12 have slightly increased from 766 from
2017-2018 to 779 from 2018-2019. Assuming each of the proposed units are occupied by two parents
and is a year-round residence, the number of potential school age children is estimated at less than
five (calculated as 0.3 children per household x 14 households). Children attending school already in
the district may be relocated to the units resulting in a no net increase to the student population. If
some of the units are occupied by school aged children, adverse impacts to the capacity of the
schools are not expected.
The Southold Volunteer Fire Department and Southold Police Department service the area. Although
a demand for fire and police services will increase from the proposal on a periodic basis, the increase
in services is not expected to be significant to the normal operations of the entities. The Planning
Board would coordinate with the Southold Police Department and Southold Fire District if a site plan
application is filed.

Full Environmental Assessment Form
Part 3-Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts
and
Determination of Significance
Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question
in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular-
element
articularelement of the proposed action will not,or may,result in a significant adverse environmental impact.
Based on the analysis in Part 3,the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess
the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not
have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page,the lead agency can complete its
determination of significance.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
To complete this section:
• Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity,
size or extent of an impact.
• Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration,probability of the impact
occurring,number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to
occur.
• The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes.
• Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where
there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not,or may,result in a significant adverse
environmental impact.

Full Environmental Assessment Form Project
Part 2-Identification ofPotential Project Impacts Dake January 15, 2021
Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could
be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s)will not necessarily be environmental
professionals. So,the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that
can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2,the form identifies the
most relevant questions in Part I that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed,the
lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity.
If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area,complete the Coastal Assessment Forin before proceeding
with this assessment.
Tips for completing Part 2:
• Review all of the information provided in Part 1.
• Review any application,maps,supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook.
• Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2.
• If you answer"Yes"to a numbered question,please complete all the questions that follow In that section.
• If you answer"No"to a numbered question,move on to the next numbered question.
• Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact.
• Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency
checking the box"Moderate to large impact may occur."
• The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis.
• If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact,it may help to review the sub-questions for the general
question and consult the workbook.
• When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity,that is,the"whole action".
• Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts.
• Answer the quiestion in a reasonable manner consideaIng the scale and context of the pr(�Ject.
