SEQRA REQUIREMENTS
In New York State, most land development and redevelopment projects fall under SEQRA jurisdiction. The SEQRA requirements were enacted in 1975 and were modeled after the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. SEQRA is regulated via 6 NYCRR Part 617 State Environmental Quality Review and enabled by Article 8 of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law. The SEQRA process is formulated to produce facts indicating whether a proposed action will, or will not, have significant environmental impacts. If significant impacts are projected, appropriate mitigations must be proposed.
