Cooperating Agency Letters

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as part of the Meadowlands Rebuild By Design (RBD) project has sent Cooperating Agency letters to several State and Federal agencies.  These Cooperating Agency letters are sent to formalize the agreement between the NJDEP and the individual State or Federal agencies with regards to this project.

These letters were sent to comply with regulations implemented by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which mandate that the NJDEP prepare a NEPA analyses and documentation “in cooperation with Federal and State governments” and other agencies with jurisdiction by law or special expertise (42 USC §§ 4331(a) and 42 USC §§ 4332(2)).

All of the following letters were sent to agencies that the NJDEP has been and will continue to work with on the Meadowlands RBD throughout the life of the project.

Field Work Announcement Letter

Field Work Announcement Letter

NJDEP’s consultant, AECOM, and their sub-consultants, are entering the investigative phase of this project. Therefore, you may see their field staff in the area collecting data for various studies.  Each field crew will have a copy of the letter (see below) from the NJDEP explaining why they are collecting the data in the event any residents or business owners are looking for an explanation as to what the field crews are doing.

Consultation Letters

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (NJDCA) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as part of the Meadowlands Rebuild By Design (RBD) project has sent Consultation letters to the affected Native American Tribes and the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office in order to be in compliance with Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966. This legislation requires that any federally funded project must consider its effects on historic properties, structures or objects.
