What's Included in an Envicon SEQR & CEQR Review Engagement
Action Classification & Lead Agency Coordination
We screen the project against the Type I and Type II lists, identify involved and interested agencies, and help coordinate lead agency designation so the review starts on the right track.
Environmental Assessment Forms
Short or Full EAF under SEQR, or the CEQR EAS in New York City, with each question answered from site data rather than assumptions so the record holds up.
Supporting Technical Studies
Hazardous materials, wetlands, stormwater, traffic screening, noise, air and historic resource checks, scoped to the thresholds the form actually triggers.
Determination Support
Draft Part 2 and Part 3 analysis, mitigation measures and the reasoning a lead agency needs to issue a Negative Declaration, Conditioned Negative Declaration, or a Positive Declaration and scoping.
When a SEQR or CEQR Review Is Required
- A rezoning, zoning variance, special permit or site plan needs a state or municipal approval
- The project uses public funding, public land, or a state or city agency permit
- A planning board or the City asked for an Environmental Assessment Form
- The site has an (E) designation, wetlands, flood zone or historic resources nearby
- A Positive Declaration is possible and you want to know early
Step 1
Classify the action before anything is filed
Type I, Type II or Unlisted decides which form you use, who must be coordinated, and how much analysis the agency will expect.
Step 2
An assessment form answered from site data
Every EAF or EAS question is tied to mapping, records or field data, so the lead agency can adopt the analysis without sending it back.
Step 3
A record ready for the hearing
When the board or the public asks questions, the technical answers are already documented and we present the studies we prepared.
Is your application waiting on a SEQR or CEQR determination?
Rezonings, site plans, variances and public funding all stall until the lead agency has a complete environmental record. Tell us the project, the agency and the approval you need and we'll come back with a scope for the review.
