Your agency has been identified as either an “involved agency” or an “interested agency” pursuant to SEQR concerning this Project. The purpose of this notice is to inform all involved and interested agencies that it is the intention of the County, acting by and through its Board of Legislators, to assume the role of Lead Agency, pursuant to SEQR, for the environmental review of this project. This project involves the replacement of the single lane truss bridge that carries Quaker Bridge Road over the Croton River on the border of the Town of Cortlandt and Village of Croton-on- Hudson. Built in 1894, the bridge had to be closed due to structural deficiencies. The new bridge will be wider to provide two lanes of traffic as well as pedestrian passage. The project will eliminate the current clearance restrictions and bring the crossing up to current NYSDOT standards. The project has been classified as an Unlisted action. Attached for your consideration are Part 1 of a Full Environmental Assessment Form and a site location map. For involved agencies listed on the attachment: to facilitate the review process, we would appreciate it if your agency would respond to this notice by completing and returning the attached response form as soon as possible.
