UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NATIONAL OCE.A,N SERVICE OFFICE OF OCEAN AND COASTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Siive r Spring. Maryland 20910 NOV 19 2.007 Mr. George R. Stafford Director, Division of Coastal Resources New York Department of State 41 State Street Albany, New York 12231 Dear Mr. Stafford: Thank you for the New York Division of Coastal Resources' June 28, 2007 request that the Village of Dobbs Ferry Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) be incorporated into the New York Coastal Management Program (CMP).· You requested that the Village of Dobbs Ferry LWRP policies described below be incorporated as routine program changes (RPCs), pursuant to Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) regulations at 15 C.F.R. part 923, subpart H, and Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) Program Change Guidance (July 1996). OCRM received the request on August 17,2007, but the review period did not start until August 27, 2007. OCRM's decision deadline was extended until November 21,2007. Based on our review of your submission, we concur, with the exceptions described below, that thc incorporation of the Village of Dobbs Ferry LWRP is an RPC and we approve the incorporation of the LWRP policies (including the policy standards and policy "explanations") as enforceable policies of the New York CMP. Federal Consistency will apply to the approved policies only after you publish notice of this approval pursuant to 15 C.F.R. § 923.84(b)(4). Please include in the public notice the list of enforceable policies provided in this letter, and please send a copy of the notice to OCRM. CHANGES APPROVED See enclosed list of the changes incorporated into the New York CMP. CHANGES NOT APPROVED OCRM does not approve the incorporation of the second explanation bullet in Policy Standard 13.4, which states that "liquefied natural gas facilities must be safely sited and operated," as an enforceable policy. Any policies regarding such siting are preempted by the Natural Gas Act, as amended by section 311 of the Energy Policy Act of2005, under the jurisdiction of the Federal Eneq,ry Regulatory Commission. QUALIFICATIONS OCRM is not approving the incorporation of the following enforceable policies because they are not applicable to the Village of Dobbs Ferry LWRiP: 19 NYCRR 600.5 (a)(3), (a)(4), (b)(4), (c), (d)(l), (g)(2), (h)(l), (h)(2), and (i). Additional polici found in the NYSCMP and Final .,,,, * Printed on Recycled Paper . !I (

Environmental Impact Statement that are not applicable include: 6, 29, 40, and 42. As noted in the state's Approval and Findings document, these policies are part of the approved NYSCMP, but are not applicable to the Village of Dobbs Ferry. Policy Standard 8.6 should be applied in a way that ensures reasonable availability of solid and hazardous waste facilities. In future amendments to the LWRP, consideration should be given to how any changes to the LWRP affect the application and impacts of Policy Standard 8.6. OCRM also is concerned that policies of this nature could cumulatively result in inadequate ability to meet the regional and national interests in having sufficient capacity for the disposal of solid and waste. Although there is no basis for determining that a threshold for regional and national interest concerns has been crossed by the Village of Dobbs Ferry LWRP Policy Standard 8.6, New York State will be expected to demonstrate in future evaluations of the New York Coastal Program that the cumulative impact of local policies is not affecting the regional and national interests in having adequate solid and hazardous waste disposal facilities. The Village of Dobbs Ferry LWRP policies include an "Applicability to Dobbs Ferry" section that occasionally refers to rules and regulations, codes, standards, BMPs, plans, etc. After conferring with NYSCMP staff, OCRM confirmed that these policies and document are intended to be the means for implementing the LWRP policies rather than enforceable policies in their own right. PUBLIC AND FEDERAL AGENCY COMMENTS OCRM received no comments on this RPC submission. Thank you for your cooperation in this review. Please contact Carleigh Trappe at (301) 713 3155, extension 165, if you have any questions. Enclosure: Policies Approved and Incorporated into the New York CMP Page 2 of4
