Project Narrative

Pier 17


Section I March 2021 Page 1 of 4

PROJECT PURPOSE: Pier 17 is located in Manhattan, New York in the East River. The pier spans the underlying transit tunnels of the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s 8th Avenue Line. The South Street Seaport, LP is proposing to enhance the existing pier to allow for the berthing of larger commercial and recreational vessels, including a Norwegian 3-Masted Barque vessel that is approximately 320 feet long and 40 feet wide. The pier in its current condition cannot withstand the mooring and berthing load of a vessel of this size. Therefore, improvements to the fender system are proposed so that the Norwegian vessel, as well as other similarly sized vessels, can safely berth against the pier.

EXISTING CONDITIONS & NEED FOR ACTION: The fendering system along the north face of the existing pier consists of forty-six 12-inch diameter timber fender piles connected by timber chocks and wales, running along the 358 LF pier. The timber fendering connects to two-foot-long timber blocking at 8 foot intervals, which abut the existing concrete pier. The existing pier consists of timber decking on top of a concrete deck and planks, supported by concrete filled steel pipe piles. The existing timber fender system is in good condition but is not robust enough to accommodate vessels as large as a Norwegian 3-Masted Barque to berth against the pier. As the applicant wants to increase the berthing capacity of the pier to, improvements must be made to the existing fender system.

PROPOSED PLAN: The project proposes to remove sections of the existing timber fender system and replace them with a more robust fendering system. A total of 246 feet of the existing fendering system will be removed, including 29 timber piles. Six of the timber piles will be reinstalled to ensure the integrity of the remaining timber sections. In the voids created in the existing fendering system, a new fender system comprised of foam filled floating fenders attached to concrete pile caps, supported by new concrete filled steel pipe piles will be installed. There will be thirteen distinct locations, each supported by two concrete filled 24-inch diameter steel pipe piles, for a total of twenty-six piles. 4 foot by 4 foot by 14 foot pile caps above each pair of piles will support one 5 foot diameter by 10 foot foam filled floating fender, connected with mounting chains and hardware. The two piles supporting each floating fender will have 1 foot by 1 foot FRP wales along the outer face to allow the load of the berthing vessel to be absorbed by the steel pipe piles and distribute the load on the foam fenders. A concrete pad and T-head mooring bollard with a 30-ton capacity will be placed on top of each concrete pile cap. The elevation of the new structures will be designed to meet the existing pier elevation. These improvements to the fendering system at Pier 17 will allow vessels as large as a Norwegian 3-Masted Barque to berth against it.

ALTERNATIVES ASSESSMENT:

Alternative 1 - No Action With no action, the berthing capacity of Pier 17 will remain the same. Only smaller vessels will be able to utilize the Pier. As the applicant would like to berth the large Norwegian 3-Masted Barque and similarly sized vessels in the future, it is necessary to improve the current fender system to

Pier 17



increase the load capacity. Therefore, this alternative was not chosen as it does not align with the applicant’s goal.

Alternative 2 – Timber Pile Reinforcement Reinforcing the existing timber piles was considered to decrease in-water construction. However, even with reinforcements to the existing timber piles, the timber piles would still be taking on the load of any vessel that berthed at the Pier. The timber piles are not strong enough for larger vessels like the Norwegian 3 Masted Barque to berth, even with reinforcements. As the applicant’s main goal is to improve the pier for berthing of larger vessels, this alternative does not achieve the applicant’s goals and it was not chosen.

Alternative 3 – Alternative Location Several piers were considered as the location for the Norwegian 3 Masted Barque to dock. However, Pier 17 was chosen due to its proximity to the historic South Street seaport district. Within the district, several piers were considered but Pier 17 provided adequate room for the Norwegian vessel, and other similarly sized vessels, to berth at with the proposed improvements to the fender system. Therefore, despite considering other New York piers, Pier 17 was chosen due to its close vicinity to the historic South Street seaport district and its capability to allow the Norwegian vessel to berth there with improvements to the existing fender system.

Alternative 4 – Installation of Steel Pipe Piles and Floating Fenders (Proposed Action) This alternative proposes improving the existing timber fender system with the installation of steel pipe piles and foam filled floating fenders. Each floating fender will be attached to two steel pipe piles. This will allow the new fenders to absorb some of the berthing energy and the new steel pipe piles to take on the load of vessels when they berth at the pier. These proposed improvements will allow the Norwegian 3 Masted Barque and other large vessels to berth at Pier 17. The proposed project includes the minimum number of piles necessary to absorb the loads of these large piles to minimize the amount of in water fill. As this project meets the applicant’s goal to allow larger vessels to berth at Pier 17, this is the preferred alternative.

ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: The proposed project will have 42 CY of cut and 128 CY of fill below MHW, resulting in a net fill of 86 CY. There will be a total of 43 CY of cut and 130 CY of fill below MHWS, resulting in a net fill of 87 CY below MHWS. The fill below MHW and SHT comprises all structures including concrete filled steel pipe piles and FRP wales. There will be net total of 940 square feet of overwater coverage as a result of the project. Please find details of each source of cut and fill summarized in the Table 1 below.

Pier 17



Table 1: PROPOSED CUT AND FILL ANALYSIS

There will be net total of 940 square feet of overwater coverage as a result of the project. Please find the overwater coverage below detailed in Table 2 below.

Table 2: PROPOSED OVERWATER COVERAGE

Increases in suspended sediment during pile driving are anticipated to be minimal, to be concentrated within the vicinity of pile driving activity, and to dissipate quickly and without significant adverse impacts to water quality or aquatic biota. Underwater noise levels due to pile driving and other construction activities would not result in significant adverse impacts to aquatic biota of the East River. Underwater noise levels during construction will be minimized by use of a vibratory hammer to the maximum extent possible and limiting use of an impact hammer. Excavation and fill will be conducted with Best Management Practices in place to ensure minimal impacts to the environment. Localized turbidity from in-water work will be minimized through the use of turbidity curtains which prevent sediment plumes from migrating beyond the immediate work area.

Pier 17



CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE: Construction is anticipated to start in April 2021 and end in December 2021. While the final BMP selection and location will be determined by the contractor, the following, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will likely be utilized to minimize environmental impacts on the tidal wetland area. These include:

• Marine based construction equipment will be selected, positioned, and staged to ensure that

they do not bottom out on the mudline during low tide;

• The use of turbidity curtains/floating booms to mitigate turbidity and floating debris;

• Construction will cease should a noticeable increase in turbidity occur until adequate BMPs are deployed to contain the work area;

• Construction debris will be collected and disposed of in approved off-site waste disposal areas;

• Barges and equipment will be protected against spills into the waterway;

• A spill kit will be on site should any spill occur;

• Work will be accomplished at low tide as much as practically possible;

• There shall be no unreasonable interference with navigation by the proposed work;

• During construction, concrete or leachate will not escape or be discharged, nor will washings from construction barges or other devices enter any water body, including wetlands or protected buffer areas;

• All work will be performed in a manner which minimizes adverse impacts to wetlands, wildlife, water quality, and natural resource;

• The final BMP selection and location will be determined by the contractor.

Construction phasing is as follows:

1. Contractor to mobilize equipment to project site; 2. Appropriate BMPs are deployed, 3. Existing timber fenders will be removed; 4. Installation of steel pipe piles, concrete pile cap, concrete pad and T-head mooring bollard; 5. Installation of foam filled floating fenders; 6. BMPs are removed from site; 7. Contractor demobilizes from project site.

Failure to provide complete information may result in your application being declared incomplete for processing, thereby delaying processing of your application.

GENERAL--APPLICABLE TO ALL PROJECTS

1. Explain the need for, and purpose of, the proposed work. Pier 17 is located in Manhattan, New York in the East River. The pier spans the underlying transit tunnels of the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s 8th Avenue Line. The South Street Seaport, LP is proposing to enhance the existing pier to allow for the berthing of larger commercial and recreational vessels, including a Norwegian 3-Masted Barque vessel that is approximately 320 feet long and 40 feet wide. The pier in its current condition cannot withstand the mooring and berthing of a vessel of this size. Therefore, improvements to the fender system are proposed so that the Norwegian vessel, as well as other similarly sized vessels, can safely berth against the pier.

2. Provide the names and addresses of property owners adjacent to your work site (if not shown on the application form or project drawings).

Please refer to Section 2.3 – List of Adjacent Property Owners for a list of addresses and property owners.

(Please note that depending upon the nature and extent of your project, you may be requested to provide the names and addresses of additional property owners proximate to your project site to ensure proper coordination.)

3. Photographs of the project site should be submitted. For projects in tidal areas, photographs of the waterway vicinity should be taken at low tide. Using a separate copy of your plan view, indicate the location and direction of each photograph as well as the date and time at which the photograph was taken. Provide a sufficient number of photographs so as to provide a clear understanding of conditions on and proximate to your project site.

Please refer to Section 6 for site photos.

4. Provide a copy of any environmental impact statement, or any other environmental report which was prepared for your project.

No environmental reports have been prepared for this project.

5. Provide a thorough discussion of alternatives to your proposal. This discussion

should include, but not necessarily be limited to, the "no action" alternative and

alternative(s) resulting in less disturbance to waters of the United States. For filling

projects in waters of the United States, including wetlands, your alternatives

discussion should demonstrate that there are no practicable alternatives to your

proposed filling and that your project meets with current mitigation policy (i.e.

avoidance, minimization and compensation).

Please refer to Section 1 – Project Narrative, for an explanation of possible alternatives considered. The result of the alternatives analysis shows that the current proposed plan is the best available option.

DREDGING PROJECTS

Answer the following if your project involves dredging.

1. Indicate the estimated volume of material to be dredged and the depth (below mean low water) to which dredging would occur. Would there be overdepth dredging?

N/A

2. You can apply for a ten-year permit for maintenance dredging. If you wish to apply for a ten-year permit, please provide the number of additional dredging events during the ten-year life of the permit and the amount of material to be removed during future events.

N/A

3. Indicate of your drawings the dewatering area (if applicable) and disposal site for the dredged material (except landfill sites). Submit a sufficient number of photographs of the dewatering and disposal sites as applicable so as to provide a clear indication of existing conditions. For ten-year maintenance dredging permits, indicate the dewatering/disposal sites for future dredging events, if known.

N/A

4. Describe the method of dredging (i.e. clamshell, dragline, etc.) and the expected duration of dredging.

N/A

5. Indicate the physical nature of the material to be dredged (i.e. sand, silt, clay, etc.) and provide estimated percentages of the various constituents if available. For beach nourishment projects, grain size analysis data is required.

N/A

6. Describe the method of dredged material containment (i.e. hay bales, embankment, bulkhead, etc.) and whether return flow from the dewatering/disposal site would reenter any waterway. Also indicate if there would be any barge overflow.

N/A

MOORING FACILITIES

Answer the following if your project includes the construction or rehabilitation of recreational mooring facilities.

1. It is generally recommended that any fixed piers and walk ramps be limited to four feet in width, and that floats be limited to eight feet in width and rest at least two feet above the waterway bottom at mean low water. Terminal floats at private, non- commercial facilities should be limited to 20 feet in length. If you do not believe your proposal can meet with these recommendations, please provide the reason(s).

The proposed project does not include any fixed piers or walk ramps. The scope of work for the project is limited to the fender system improvements.

2. Using your plan view, show to scale the location(s), position(s) and size(s) (including length, beam and draft) of vessel(s) to be moored at the proposed facility, including those of transient vessel(s) if known.

The location, position, and size of the vessel to be moored at the proposed pier are shown on the drawing set. Please refer to Section 7 for the drawing set.

3. For commercial mooring sites such as marinas, indicate the capacity of the facility and indicate on the plan view the location(s) of any proposed fueling and/or sewage pumpout facilities. If pumpout facilities are not planned, please discuss the rationale below and indicate the distance to the nearest available pumpout station.

There are no proposed fueling and/or sewage pumpout facilities proposed as this project is only planning to improve the fendering system at Pier 17.

4. Indicate on your plan view the distance to adjacent marine structures, if any are proximate and show the locations and dimensions of such structures.

N/A.

5. Discuss the need for wave protection at the proposed facility. Please be advised that if a permit is issued, you would be required to recognize that the mooring facility may be subject to wave action from wakes of passing vessels, whose operations would not be required to be modified. Issuance of a permit would not relieve you of ensuring the integrity of the authorized structure(s) and the United States would not be held responsible for damages to the structure(s) and vessel(s) moored thereto from wakes from passing vessels.

No wave protection is necessary for the proposed project as vessels currently use the Pier for berthing and there are no issues with wave attenuation. This is not a new mooring facility.

BULKHEADING/BANK STABILIZATION/FILLING ACTIVITIES

Answer the following if your project includes construction of bulkheading (also retaining walls and seawalls) with backfill, filling of waters/wetlands, or any other bank stabilization fills such as riprap, revetments, gabions, etc.

1. Indicate the total volume of fill (including backfill behind a structure such as a bulkhead) as well as the volume of fill to be placed into waters of the United States. The amount of fill in waters of the United States can be determined by calculating the amount of fill to be placed below the plane of spring high tide in tidal areas and below ordinary high water in non-tidal areas.

The proposed project will have 42 CY of cut and 128 CY of fill below MHW, resulting in a net fill of 86 CY. There will be a total of 43 CY of cut and 130 CY of fill below SHT, resulting in a net fill of 87 CY below SHT. The fill below MHW and SHT comprises all structures including concrete filled steel pipe piles.

2. Indicate the source(s) and type(s) of fill material.

The fill will consist of concrete inside the steel pipe piles and FRP wales.

3. Indicate the method of fill placement (i.e. by hand, bulldozer, crane, etc.). Would any temporary fills be required in waterways or wetlands to provide access for construction equipment? If so, please indicate the area of such waters and/or wetlands to be filled, and show on the plan and sectional views.

The contractor will drive all piles to the required depths using a vibratory hammer to the maximum extent possible, with the use of an impact hammer if obstructions are encountered.

The foregoing requests basic information on the most common types of projects requiring Department of the Army permits. It is intended to obviate or reduce the need for requesting additional information; however, additional information may be requested above and beyond what is requested in this form.

Please feel free to add any additional information regarding your project which you believe may facilitate our review.

Pier 17 Fender System Improvements

89 South Street, New York, NY 10038

The South Street Seaport, LP is proposing to enhance the existing pier to allow for the berthing of larger commercial and recreational vessels, includinga Norwegian 3-Masted Barque vessel that is approximately 320 feet long and 40 feetwide. The pier in its current condition cannot withstand themooring and berthing of a vessel of this size. Therefore, improvements to the fender system are proposed so that the Norwegian vessel, as well asother similarly sized vessels, can safely berth against the pier. The fendering system along the north face of the existing pier consists of forty-six12-inch timber fender piles connected by timber chocks and wales, running along the 358 linear foot pier. The timber fendering connects totwo-foot-long timber blocking at 8 foot intervals, which abut the existing concrete pier. The existing pier consists of timber decking on top of a concretedeck and planks, supported by concrete filled steel pipe piles. The project proposes to remove sections of the existing timber fender system and installnew foam filled floating fenders attached to concrete pile caps, supported by new concrete filled steel pipe piles. There will be thirteen distinct locations,each supported by two concrete filled 24-inch diameter steel pipe piles, for a total of twenty-six piles. The pile caps will each support one 5 footdiameter by 10 foot foam filled floating fender.

Coastal Assessment C.1.c.:

Policy 1: Restore, revitalize, and redevelop deteriorated and underutilized waterfront areas for

commercial, industrial, cultural, recreational, and other compatible uses.

The South Street Seaport, LP is proposing to enhance the existing pier to allow for the berthing of

larger commercial and recreational vessels, including a Norwegian 3-Masted Barque vessel that is

approximately 320 feet long and 40 feet wide. The pier in its current condition cannot withstand the

mooring and berthing of a vessel of this size. Therefore, improvements to the fender system are

proposed so that the Norwegian vessel, as well as other similarly sized vessels, can safely berth

against the pier. The project proposes to remove sections of the existing timber fender system and

install new foam filled floating fenders attached to concrete pile caps, supported by new concrete

filled steel pipe piles. There will be thirteen distinct locations, each supported by two concrete filled

24-inch diameter steel pipe piles, for a total of twenty-six piles. The pile caps will each support one

5 foot diameter by 10 foot foam filled floating fender.

Coastal Assessment C.1.h.:

Policy 15: Mining, excavation or dredging in coastal waters shall not significantly interfere with the

natural coastal processes which supply beach materials to land adjacent to such waters and shall be

undertaken in a manner which will not cause an increase in erosion of such land.

There is no mining or dredging proposed by this project. The piles removed will have no discernible effect on sediment transportation or natural coastal processes as the project involves a minimal amount of removals, will take place in deep water, and is within a developed tidal estuary with hard shoreline structures along the water’s edge. Additionally, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be used throughout construction to ensure minimal impact to the natural coastal processes.

Pier 17



Policy 35: Dredging and filling in coastal waters and disposal of dredged material will be undertaken

in a manner that meets existing State permit requirements, and protects significant fish and wildlife

habitats, scenic resources, natural protective features, important agricultural lands, and wetlands.

Dredging will not be undertaken as part of the proposed project. The project has been designed to involve a minimal amount of fill by using pile supported structures. Additionally, the project will adhere to any in-water work moratorium to avoid impacts to spawning of endangered species. Fill will be placed with the use of BMPs that meet existing State permit requirements and protect the existing ecological systems. The proposed project will have 42 CY of cut and 128 CY of fill below MHW, resulting in a net fill of 86 CY. There will be 43 CY of cut and 130 CY of fill below SHT, resulting in a net fill of 87 CY below SHT. The fill below MHW and SHT comprises all structures including concrete filled steel pipe piles and FRP wales.

Coastal Assessment C.2.a.:

Policy 44: Preserve and protect tidal and freshwater wetlands and preserve the benefits derived from

these areas.

There will be a net total of 940 square feet of overwater coverage as a result of the proposed project.

As the amount of overwater coverage created is so minimal, it will not significantly impact the littoral

tidal zone. Additionally, the quality and function of ecological systems within the New York City

coastal area will not be adversely impacted by the proposed project because the proposed work is in

a developed area with minimal natural habitat to support any wildlife other than highly urban-

adapted, disturbance-tolerant generalists.

Coastal Assessment C.2.b.:

Policy 11: Buildings and other structures will be sited in the coastal area so as to minimize damage

to property and the endangering of human lives caused by flooding and erosion.

No new buildings are proposed by this project. This project only involves enhancing an existing

fender system, which is designed to be inundated with flood water.

Policy 12: Activities or development in the coastal area will be undertaken so as to minimize damage

to natural resources and property from flooding and erosion by protecting natural protective features

including beaches, dunes, barrier islands and bluffs.

Beaches, dunes, barrier islands and bluffs are not located on or adjacent to the proposed site. No

flooding or erosion protection measures are proposed by this project. The project only involves

enhancing an existing fender system that is designed to withstand flooding.

Pier 17



Policy 17: Non-structural measures to minimize damage to natural resources and property from

flooding and erosion shall be used whenever possible.

The proposed project does not involve the construction of any flooding or erosion prevention

structures. This project involves enhancing an existing fender system.

Coastal Assessment C.2.c.:

Policy 7: Significant coastal fish and wildlife habitats will be protected, preserved, and where

practical, restored so as to maintain their viability as habitats.

According to the NYSDEC Environmental Assessment Form, the site is identified as a potential habitat

for Peregrine Falcon. The proposed project is in a developed area with minimal natural habitat to

support any wildlife other than highly urban-adapted, disturbance-tolerant generalists. As such, it is

unlikely that the Peregrine Falcon will be disturbed by the proposed fender enhancement project.

Additionally, BMPs will be used throughout construction to minimize any potential environmental

impacts.

Coastal Assessment C.2.i.:

Policy 23: Protect, enhance and restore structures, districts, areas or sites that are of significance in

the history, architecture, archaeology or culture of the state, its communities, or the nation.

Pier 17 is listed as a Historic Building (06101.021175). Additionally, there are two archaeological

surveys taking place in the section of the East River where the project site is. The two archaeological

surveys include the East River Waterfront Esplanade and Piers – Outboard Resources, Phase 1A

Archeological Assessment (Survey 07SR57301), and the South Street Seaport Historic District (Survey

90NR00940). The proposed work will be limited to the fender system along the pier and will not

negatively impact the historic resource or surveys. In addition, BMPs will be used to ensure minimal

environmental impacts.

Coastal Assessment C.3.a.:

Policy 2: Facilitate the siting of water-dependent uses and facilities on or adjacent to coastal waters.

The South Street Seaport, LP is proposing to enhance the existing pier to allow for the berthing of larger commercial and recreational vessels, including a Norwegian 3-Masted Barque vessel that is approximately 320 LF long and 40 LF wide. The pier in its current condition cannot withstand the load of a vessel of this size. Therefore, improvements to the fender system are proposed so that the Norwegian vessel, as well as other similarly sized vessels, can safely berth against the pier. Additionally, the improvements will allow the possibility of historic and educational vessel to moor at the pier and provide tours and other educational activities.

Pier 17



Policy 21: Water-dependent and water-enhanced recreation will be encouraged and facilitated, and

will be given priority over non-water-related uses along the coast.

The improvements to the fender system proposed will permit the Norwegian vessel, as well as other

similarly sized vessels, to safely berth against the pier. Additionally, the fender system improvements

will allow the possibility of historic and educational vessels to moor at the pier and provide tours and

other educational activities. Thus, encouraging water-dependent uses at the project site.

Policy 22: Development, when located adjacent to the shore, will provide for water-related

recreation, whenever such use is compatible with reasonably anticipated demand for such activities,

and is compatible with the primary purpose of the development.

The project will encourage water-dependent uses through the proposed fender system improvements that will enable the Norwegian vessel, as well as other similarly sized vessels, to safely berth against the pier. The improvements will allow large sailing vessels, and possibly historic and educational vessels, to moor at the pier and provide tours and other educational activities.

Coastal Assessment C.3.d.:

Policy 30: Municipal, industrial, and commercial discharge of pollutants, including but not limited

to, toxic and hazardous substances, into coastal waters will conform to state and national water

quality standards.

Toxic and hazardous substances will not be discharged into coastal waters as a result of the proposed

project. BMPs will be utilized to ensure that all construction debris will be collected and disposed of

in approved off-site waste disposal areas. Barges and equipment will be protected from spills into the

waterway.

Policy 38: The quality and quantity of surface water and groundwater supplies will be conserved

and protected, particularly where such waters constitute the primary or sole source of water supply.

The surface and groundwater supplies in this area will not experience significant impacts from the

construction of this project. BMPs, such as turbidity curtains, will be utilized during the construction

phase to ensure that the quality and quantity of surface water and groundwater in the area will not

be impacted

Policy 40: Effluent discharged from major steam electric generating and industrial facilities into

coastal waters will not be unduly injurious to fish and wildlife and shall conform to state water

quality standards.

There will not be any major steam electric generating and industrial facilities involved in this project,

so no effluent will be discharged into coastal waters.

Pier 17



Coastal Assessment C.2.g.:

Policy 3: Further develop the state's major ports of Albany, Buffalo, New York, Ogdensburg, and

Oswego as centers of commerce and industry, and encourage the siting, in these port areas, including

those under the jurisdiction of state public authorities, of land use and development which is

essential to, or in support of, the waterborne transportation of cargo and people.

The proposed project is consistent with this policy as Pier 17 is not adjacent to any major terminals

and therefore, would not cause an impact to vessel traffic on a regular basis.

For more information about consistency review process and determination, see Part I of the NYC Waterfront Revitalization Program. When assessing each policy, review the full policy language, including all sub-policies, contained within Part II of the WRP. The relevance of each applicable policy may vary depending upon the project type and where it is located (i.e. if it is located within one of the special area designations).

For those policies checked Promote or Hinder, provide a written statement on a separate page that assesses the effects of the proposed activity on the relevant policies or standards. If the project or action promotes a policy, explain how the action would be consistent with the goals of the policy. If it hinders a policy, consideration should be given toward any practical means of altering or modifying the project to eliminate the hindrance. Policies that would be advanced by the project should be balanced against those that would be hindered by the project. If reasonable modifications to eliminate the hindrance are not possible, consideration should be given as to whether the hindrance is of such a degree as to be substantial, and if so, those adverse effects should be mitigated to the extent practicable.

Addendum to

New York City Waterfront Revitalization Program

Consistency Assessment Form

Applicant: South Street Seaport, LP


New York, NY 10036

Agent: Virginia Westervelt M.G. McLaren Engineering

and Land Surveying, P.C.

530 Chestnut Ridge Road

Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677

Policy 2: Support water-dependent and industrial uses in New York City coastal areas that are well-

suited to their continued operation.

The South Street Seaport, LP is proposing to enhance the existing pier to allow for the berthing of

larger commercial and recreational vessels, including a Norwegian 3-Masted Barque vessel that is

approximately 320 feet long and 40 feet wide. The pier is currently in good condition and is serving

as a place for many vessels to dock and berth, thus supporting water-dependent uses in the NYC

coastal area. This project would permit for that use to continue and be enhanced by allowing a greater

variety of vessels to berth. The pier in its current condition cannot withstand the load of a vessel as

large as the Norwegian. Therefore, improvements to the fender system are proposed so that the

Norwegian vessel, as well as other similarly sized vessels, can safely berth against the pier. The

project proposes to remove sections of the existing timber fender system and install new foam filled

floating fenders attached to concrete pile caps, supported by new concrete filled steel pipe piles.

Policy 2.5: Incorporate consideration of climate change and sea level rise into the planning and

design of waterfront industrial development and infrastructure, pursuant to WRP Policy 6.2.

Please refer to section 6.2 for a detailed explanation of how considerations of climate change and

sea level rise were incorporated into the design.

Policy 3: Promote use of New York City’s waterways for commercial and recreational boating and

water-dependent transportation.

The goal of the proposed project is to improve the existing fender system to make it capable of

berthing a Norwegian 3-Masted Barque vessel, as well as other similarly sized vessels. Additionally,

the improvements will allow the possibility of historic and educational vessel to moor at the pier and

Pier 17



provide tours and other educational activities. Therefore, the proposed project has the potential to

promote the use of commercial, recreational and water-dependent transportation.

Policy 3.2: Support and encourage recreational, educational and commercial boating in New York

City’s maritime centers.

The pier is currently in good condition and is serving as a place for many vessels to dock and berth,

thus supporting various types of boating in NYC maritime centers. This project would permit for that

use to continue and be enhanced by allowing a greater variety of vessels to berth. The pier in its

current condition cannot withstand the load of a vessel as large as the Norwegian. Therefore,

improvements to the fender system are proposed so that the Norwegian vessel, as well as other

similarly sized vessels, can safely berth against the pier. The proposed improvements will also allow

for the possibility of historic and educational vessel to moor at the pier and provide tours and other

educational activities. Thus, the proposed improvements will support and encourage recreational,

educational and commercial boating in NYC maritime centers.

Policy 3.5: In Priority Marine Activity Zones, support the ongoing maintenance of maritime

infrastructure for water-dependent uses.

The project site is located in a Priority Marine Activity Zone. The pier is currently in good condition

but cannot withstand the load of a vessel of the size of the Norwegian 3-Masted Barque. Therefore,

improvements to the fender system are proposed so that the Norwegian vessel can berth against the

pier. These improvements will also allow for future vessels of a similar size to have the ability to

berth against Pier 17, thus supporting the ongoing maintenance of maritime infrastructure for water-

dependent uses.

Policy 4: Protect and restore the quality and function of ecological systems within the New York

City coastal area.

The quality and function of ecological systems within the New York City coastal area will not be

adversely impacted by the proposed project because the proposed work is in a developed area with

minimal natural habitat to support any wildlife other than highly urban-adapted, disturbance-tolerant

generalists. Additionally, BMPs will be utilized to ensure protection of the coastal area and its

associated habitats.

Policy 4.3: Protect designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats.

According to the NYSDEC Environmental Assessment Form, the site is identified as a potential habitat

for Peregrine Falcon. The proposed project is in a developed area with minimal natural habitat to

support any wildlife other than highly urban-adapted, disturbance-tolerant generalists. As such, it is

unlikely that the Peregrine Falcon will be disturbed by the proposed fender enhancement project.

Pier 17



Additionally, BMPs will be used throughout construction to minimize any potential environmental

impacts.

Policy 4.5: Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands.

BMPs will be used throughout construction to minimize impacts to the environment and protect the

wetlands. All construction debris will be collected and disposed of at an approved off-site facility. A

turbidity curtain will surround the site to contain any suspended sediment and work will be

performed at low tide as much as practically possible to minimize in water work. Should any

noticeable increase in turbidity occur, work will cease until the site is properly contained. There will

be a net total of 940 SF of overwater coverage as a result of the proposed project. However, the

surrounding ecological systems will not be adversely impacted by the proposed project because the

proposed work is in a developed area with minimal natural habitat to support any wildlife other than

highly urban-adapted, disturbance-tolerant generalists.

Policy 4.8: Maintain and protect living aquatic resources.

The proposed project is not anticipated to adversely affect natural resources in the area, including

water quality and habitat conditions. Best management practices will be implemented to minimize

environmental impacts during construction. Turbidity will be controlled through BMPs such as

turbidity curtains and performing work at low tide as much as practically possible. Underwater noise

levels due to pile driving and other construction activities would not result in significant adverse

impacts to aquatic biota. Underwater noise levels during construction will be minimized by using a

vibratory hammer to the extent possible and limiting use of an impact hammer. The minimal loss of

bottom habitat and benthic macroinvertebrates within the footprint of the piles would not result in

significant adverse impacts to these resources nor would it result in significant adverse impacts to fish

due to loss of prey.

Policy 5: Protect and improve water quality in the New York City coastal area.

BMPs will be used throughout construction to protect the water quality in the New York City coastal

area. Please refer to the project narrative for a full list of BMPs.

Policy 5.3: Protect water quality when excavating or placing fill in navigable waters and in or near

marshes, estuaries, tidal marshes, and wetlands.

The proposed project will have 42 CY of cut and 128 CY of fill below MHW, resulting in a net fill of

86 CY. There will be 43 CY of cut and 130 CY of fill below SHT, resulting in a net fill of 87 CY below

SHT. The fill below MHW and SHT comprises all structures including concrete filled steel pipe piles.

Pier 17



Fill material will be placed with the use of BMPs. Turbidity curtains will be in place to prevent

suspended sediment from dissipating beyond the project site.

Policy 6: Minimize loss of life, structures, infrastructure, and natural resources caused by flooding

and erosion, and increase resiliency to future conditions created by climate change.

The improvements to the fender system have been designed to increase resiliency with consideration

of future conditions created by climate change. The proposed work will be limited to the fender

system along the pier and will not impact loss the life, structures, infrastructure, and natural resources

caused by flooding and erosion.

Policy 6.2: Integrate consideration of the latest New York City projections of climate change and sea

level rise into the planning and design of projects in the city’s Coastal Zone.

1a. Please see attached Flood Elevation Worksheet.

1b. The proposed elevation of the proposed steel pipe piles with concrete pile caps are located below

the elevation of the 1% floodplain over the lifespan of the structure under all sea level rise scenarios.

However, the steel pipe pile with concrete pile caps have been designed at a specific elevation to

meet the existing grade of the pier and cannot be changed.

1c. The proposed steel pipe piles with concrete pile caps are above the elevation of Mean Higher

High Water over the lifespan of the project under the highest sea level rise scenario.

1d. The project is located in an AE zone. The project does not contain any materials or substances

that if made insecure from wind, water or debris would result in a threat to public health or the

environment.

2a. This project involves installation of steel pipe piles with concrete pile caps that have been

designed to a specific elevation to meet the existing grade of the pier. The proposed steel pipe piles

with concrete pile caps are above the elevation of Mean Higher High Water over the lifespan of the

project under the highest sea level rise scenario.

2b. No additional structures were identified in 1c.

2c. No additional measures are being taken to protect the site from additional hazards. This project

involves installation of steel pipe piles with concrete pile caps that have been designed to a specific

elevation to meet the existing grade of the pier.

2d. The project would not affect flood protection of adjacent sites. The project site is surrounded by

existing piers on both sides.

3. This project would advance the policy because the steel pipe piles with concrete pile caps are

above the Mean Higher High Water over the lifespan of the project under the highest sea level rise

scenario. Although the piles are below the 1% floodplain, they have been designed to a specific

elevation to meet the existing grade of the pier and the design cannot be changed.

Pier 17



Policy 10: Protect, preserve, and enhance resources significant to the historical, archaeological,

architectural, and cultural legacy of the New York City coastal area.

Pier 17 is listed as a Historic Building (06101.021175). Additionally, there are two archaeological

surveys taking place in the section of the East River where the project site is. The two archaeological

surveys include the East River Waterfront Esplanade and Piers – Outboard Resources, Phase 1A

Archeological Assessment (Survey 07SR57301), and the South Street Seaport Historic District (Survey

90NR00940). The proposed work will be limited to the fender system along the pier and will not

negatively impact the historic resource and surveys.

Policy 10.1: Retain and preserve historic resources, and enhance resources significant to the coastal

culture of New York City.

Pier 17 is listed as a Historic Building (06101.021175). However, proposed work will be limited to

the fender system along the pier and will not negatively impact the historic resource.

Essential Fish Habitat Worksheet

NOAA Fisheries Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment & Fish and Wildlife Coordination

Act (FWCA) Worksheet This worksheet is your essential fish habitat (EFH) assessment. It provides us with the information necessary to assess the effects of your action on EFH

NOAA trust resources under theFish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA). Consultation is not required if:

1. there is no adverse effect on EFH or NOAA trust resources (see page 10 for more info).2. no EFH is designated and no trust resources may be present at the project site.

InstructionsFederal agencies or their non-federal designated lead agency should email the completedworksheet and necessary attachments to [email protected]. Include the public notice (if applicable) or project application and project plans showing:

location map of the project site with area of impact.existing and proposed conditions.all waters of the U.S. on the project site with mean low water (MLW), mean high water(MHW), high tide line (HTL), and water depths clearly marked.sensitive habitats mapped, including special aquatic sites (submerged aquatic vegetation,saltmarsh, mudflats, riffles and pools, coral reefs, and sanctuaries and refuges), hardbottom or natural rocky habitat areas, and shellfish beds.site photographs, if available.

We will provide our EFH conservation recommendations and recommendations under the FWCA, as appropriate, within 30 days of receipt of a complete EFH assessment (60 days if an expanded consultation is necessary). Please submit complete information to minimize delays in completing the consultation.

This worksheet provides us with the information required1 in an EFH assessment: 1. A description of the proposed action.2. An analysis of the potential adverse effects on EFH and the federally managed species.3. The federal agency’s conclusions regarding the effects of the action on EFH.4. Proposed mitigation, if applicable.

Your analysis should focus on impacts that reduce the quality and/or quantity of the habitat or result in conversion to a different habitat type for all life stages of species with designated EFH within the action area.

Use the information on the HCD website and NOAA’s EFH Mapper to complete this worksheet. If you have questions, please contact the appropriate HCD staff member to assist you.

1 The EFH consultation process is guided by the requirements of our EFH regulation at 50 CFR 600.905.

East River

The client is looking to enhance the existing pier to make it capable of berthing aNorwegian 3-Masted Barque vessel.

The South Street Seaport, LP is proposing to enhance the existing pier to allow for theberthing of larger commercial and recreational vessels, including a Norwegian3-Masted Barque vessel that is approximately 320 feet long and 40 feet wide. The pierin its current condition cannot withstand the load of a vessel of this size. Therefore,improvements to the fender system are proposed so that the Norwegian vessel, aswell as other similarly sized vessels, can safely berth against the pier. The projectproposes to remove sections of the existing timber fender system and install new foamfilled floating fenders attached to concrete pile caps, supported by new concrete filledsteel pipe piles. There will be thirteen floating fenders connected to concrete pile caps,each supported by two concrete filled 24-inch diameter steel pipe piles. The pile capswill each support one 5 foot diameter by 10 foot foam filled floating fender.

April 2021 - February 2022

Habitat Description

Details: project impacts and mitigation

The level of detail that you provide should be commensurate with the magnitude of impacts associated with the proposed project. Attach supplemental information if necessary.

Describe how the project would impact each of the habitat types selected above. Include temporary and permanent impact descriptions and direct and indirect impacts.

What specific measures will be used to avoid impacts, including project design, turbidity controls, acoustic controls, and time of year restrictions? If impacts cannot be avoided, why not?

What specific measures will be used to minimize impacts?

Is compensatory mitigation proposed? Yes No

If no, why not? If yes, describe plans for mitigation and how this will offset impacts to EFH. Include a conceptual compensatory mitigation and monitoring plan, if applicable.

There will be 86 CY of permanent fill below MHW and 87 CY of permanent fill belowSHT. The fill below MHW and SHT comprises all structures including concrete filledsteel pipe piles. There may be temporary localized turbidity resulting from the in-waterwork. Increases in suspended sediment during in-water activity are anticipated to beminimal, temporary and to dissipate quickly and without significant adverse impacts towater quality or aquatic biota. Underwater noise levels during construction will betemporary and minimized by using a vibratory hammer to the extent possible andlimiting use of an impact hammer.

✔

Federal Action Agency’s EFH determination (select one)

There is no adverse effect7 on EFH or EFH is not designated at the project site.

EFH Consultation is not required. This is a FWCA-only request.

The adverse effect7 on EFH is not substantial. This means that the adverse effects are no more than minimal, temporary, or can be alleviated with minor project modifications or conservation recommendations.

This is a request for an abbreviated EFH consultation.

The adverse effect7 on EFH is substantial.

This is a request for an expanded EFH consultation. We will provide more detailed information, including an alternatives analysis and NEPA document, if applicable.

EFH and HAPC designations8

Use the EFH mapper to determine if EFH may be present in the project area and enter all species and lifestages that have designated EFH. Optionally, you may review the EFH text descriptions linked to each species in the EFH mapper and use them to determine if the described habitat is present. We recommend this for larger projects to help you determine what your impacts are.

Species EFH is designated/mapped for:

Habitat present based on text description (optional)

EFH: eggs

EFH: larvae

EFH: juvenile

EFH: adults/ spawning adults

7 An adverse effect is any impact that reduces the quality and/or quantity of EFH. Adverse effects may include direct or indirect physical, chemical, or biological alterations of the waters or substrate and loss of, or injury to, benthic organisms, prey species and their habitat, and other ecosystem components. Adverse effects to EFH may result from actions occurring within EFH or outside of EFH and may include site-specific or habitat-wide impacts, including individual, cumulative, or synergistic consequences of actions.8 Within the Greater Atlantic Region, EFH has been designated by the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and South Atlantic Fisheries Management Councils and NOAA Fisheries.

More information

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) mandates that federal agencies conduct an essential fish habitat (EFH) consultation with NOAA Fisheries on any actions they authorize, fund, or undertake that may adversely affect EFH. An adverse effect is any impact that reduces the quality and/or quantity of EFH. Adverse effects may include direct or indirect physical, chemical, or biological alterations of the waters or substrate and loss of, or injury to, benthic organisms, prey species and their habitat, and other ecosystem components. Adverse effects to EFH may result from actions occurring within EFH or outside of EFH and may include site-specific or habitat-wide impacts, including individual, cumulative, or synergistic consequences of actions.

We designed this worksheet to help you to prepare EFH assessments. It is important to remember that an adverse effect determination is a trigger to consult with us. It does not mean that a projectcannot proceed as proposed, or that project modifications are necessary. It means that the effects of the proposed action on EFH must be evaluated to determine if there are ways to avoid, minimize, or offset adverse effects.

This worksheet should be used as your EFH assessment or as a guide to develop your EFH assessment. At a minimum, you should include all the information required to complete this worksheet in your EFH assessment. The level of detail that you provide should be commensurate with the magnitude of impacts associated with the proposed project. If your answers in the worksheet and supplemental information you attach do not fully evaluate the adverse effects to EFH, we may request additional information to complete the consultation.

You may need to prepare an expanded EFH assessment for more complex projects to fully characterize the effects of the project and the avoidance and minimization of impacts to EFH. While the EFH assessment worksheet may be used for larger projects, the format may not be sufficient to incorporate the extent of detail required, and a separate EFH assessment may be developed. However, regardless of format, you should include an analysis as outlined in this worksheet for an expanded EFH assessment, along with any additional necessary information. This additional information includes:

the results of on-site inspections to evaluate the habitat and site-specific effects.the views of recognized experts on the habitat or the species that may be affected.a review of pertinent literature and related information.an analysis of alternatives that could avoid or minimize the adverse effects on EFH.

Please contact our Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office, Protected Resources Division regarding potential impacts to marine mammals or threatened and endangered species.
