The Environmental and Historic Program of the [DCA] Division of Disaster Recovery and Mitigation ensures that all funded projects meet federal compliance. The federal government requires all construction work done in Hurricane Ida recovery programs and Superstorm Sandy recovery programs that are funded with Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) dollars be reviewed in a tiered environmental assessment to ensure projects undertaken will have no significant impact on the environment. Therefore, no construction work can begin on projects until all levels of environmental review have been complete and found to be in compliance. Public notices about the environmental review records for recovery projects are published in English and Spanish on this webpage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with a project\u2019s environmental review determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments within a set public comment period to:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PROJECT DESCRIPTION<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hurricane Ida Tier 1 Environmental Assessments<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Project Title: New Jersey Blue Acres Tiered Environmental Reviews for Hurricane Ida<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Location: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Passaic, Somerset, Union, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Morris, and Warren counties<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The total estimated project cost is $16,000,000.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The projects would entail the acquisition of residential properties within a floodway, floodplain, or other disaster risk reduction area to reduce the risk from future flooding. Acquired properties would be cleared of all existing structures and related improvements and the land would be restored as wetlands and\/or floodplains to serve a defined open space and climate-resilience purpose.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
