Chapter 1: Introduction

WRY Tenant LLC (an affiliate of The Related Companies, LP)1and the National Railroad Passenger 

Corporation (Amtrak) are partnering in a joint venture (the Project Sponsor) to seek Federal financial 

assistance through loan programs administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). The 

Proposed Action would include: (1) a structural Platform (Platform); and (2) a railroad right-of-way 

preservation Tunnel Encasement (Tunnel Encasement) (see Figure 1, Project Location). 

The Proposed Action consists of:

 A new approximately 9.8 acre structural steel and concrete Platform spanning the Western Rail Yard, 

including deep footings and a concrete slab to cover the active rail yard below, and reinforced building 

foundations. Platform construction would also include reconstruction and upgrades to railroad staff 

facilities and other LIRR support services including existing emergency electrical equipment, and rail 

car cleaning services, and a new approximately 20,000 square foot electrical substation building. The 

Platform would house critical life safety and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support services for 

the yard, including new lighting, sprinklers, and an extensive platform ventilation system. Once 

complete, the entire yard would contain comprehensive state-of-the-art life safety systems, securing 

this critical infrastructure and protecting both the workers and the railroad equipment in the yard. The 

Platform would allow for vertical development above the railyard. 

 A right-of-way preservation Tunnel Encasement constructed under the terra firma2area of the Project 

site, which would be 605 feet long, between 50 and 65 feet wide and between 27 and 38 feet high. The 

Tunnel Encasement in Western Rail Yard would extend underground from the recently completed 

concrete casing under Eleventh Avenue and the Eastern Rail Yard. Together, the encasement below 

both rail yards (Western Rail Yard and Eastern Rail Yard) would preserve a total right-of-way (ROW) 

of approximately 1,400 feet. No permanent operational components, such as tracks, lighting, 

ventilation, or electrical system, would be constructed within the Tunnel Encasement as part of the 

Proposed Action.

The Proposed Action would allow for privately-funded mixed-use development and public open space 

above the Platform. The mixed-use development (Overbuild) has been approved by the New York City 

Planning Commission (CPC), and adopted by the New York City Council into the New York City Zoning 

Resolution, for redevelopment of the Western Rail Yard parcel. The Tunnel Encasement would preserve 

the right-of-way for new rail infrastructure to maintain a functional, resilient, and improved trans-Hudson 

passenger rail crossing into New York Penn Station.

1.1 PURPOSE AND NEED

The purpose of the Proposed Action is to (1) cover and protect the active railroad tracks and LIRR support 

facilities in the Western Rail Yard so that the Project Sponsor can provide additional new capacity for real 

estate development and house critical life safety and mechanical, electrical and plumbing support services 

for the yard, including new lighting, sprinklers and an extensive Platform ventilation system, and (2) 

preserve a right-of-way (ROW) through the Western Rail Yard to support the future construction of a transHudson passenger rail crossing into New York Penn Station. 

In the EIS, FRA will evaluate the direct, indirect and cumulative changes to the human and natural 

environment resulting from the operation and construction of the Platform and Tunnel Encasement.

Consistent with the purpose and need for the Proposed Action, the objectives of the Western Rail Yard 

Infrastructure Project include:

 Maintain safe, continuous, and uninterrupted LIRR operations, construct critical life safety and 

ventilation systems, and modernize the operational facilities within the Western Rail Yard; 

 Support the ability to meet the revenue-generation goals of the MTA, the owner of the Western Rail 

Yard;

 Provide support for the economic, social, and recreational life of the Hudson Yards area and the City; 

and

 Preserve opportunities to enable future growth of passenger rail service and to maintain a functional, 

resilient, and improved trans-Hudson passenger rail crossing into New York Penn Station.

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is conducting the environmental analysis to ensure compliance 

with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 USC 4321 et seq.) and will prepare an 

EIS in compliance with NEPA, 23 U.S.C. § 139, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations 

implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500‐1508).

3 After release and circulation of a Draft EIS for public 

comment, FRA plans to issue a single document consisting of the Final EIS and a Record of Decision 

(FEIS/ROD) pursuant to the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. 114–94, section 

1304(n)(2)) (FAST Act) unless statutory criteria or practicability considerations preclude issuing. 

The EIS will also document FRA’s compliance with other applicable environmental laws and regulations, 

including Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) (54 U.S.C. § 306108); the 

Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.); the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. § 1531); Section 4(f) of 

the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (Section 4(f) 49 U.S.C. § 303) and FRA’s implementing 

regulations at 23 CFR part 7714and 774; U.S. DOT Order 5650.2 on Floodplain Management; the Coastal 

Zone Management Act; and Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice. The EIS will provide FRA, 

participating agencies, and the public with information about alternatives that meet the Proposed Action’s 

purpose and need, including their environmental impacts and appropriate measures to avoid, minimize, and 

mitigate those impacts.

 

3

 CEQ issued revised NEPA regulations that became effective September 14, 2020 at 40 CFR parts 1500-1508. 

Because FRA issued the Notice of Intent (NOI) for this project prior to the effective date of the revised regulations, 

on June 15, 2020, FRA permissibly prepared this EIS in accordance with the CEQ NEPA regulations that were 

effective at the time of the issuance of the NOI. All citations to CEQ regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508) in this 

EIS are to the previous version of the regulations.

 FRA has determined that this Project does not qualify for consideration under the 2017 Executive Order (EO) 

13807: Establishing Discipline and Accountability in the Environmental Review and Permitting Process for 

Infrastructure Projects (EO 13807), aka “One Federal Decision.” EO 13807 was revoked on January 20, 2021.
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 3 February 24, 2021

On June 15, 2020, FRA issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) in the Federal Register (see: 

www.federalregister.gov/d/2020-12851), informing the public of the upcoming EIS and describing how 

they can become involved in the EIS process. The NOI formally began the agency and public scoping 

process. Comments received during the scoping comment period (July 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020) from 

agencies and other stakeholders regarding recommended or required coordination have been incorporated 

into this plan.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THIS COORDINATION PLAN

The FAST Act of 2015 requires FRA to apply the environmental review process outlined in 23 U.S.C. § 

139 to railroad projects to the greatest extent feasible. This Coordination Plan (CP) has been prepared to 

comply with the requirements of 23 U.S.C. § 139, which established procedures for efficient environmental 

reviews. The purpose of this CP is to describe the process and communication methods that will be followed 

to disseminate information about the Western Rail Yard Infrastructure Project, as well as to solicit and 

consider input from the public and other agencies, this includes identifying Federal, District, state, regional, 

and local agencies that have a role in the Project EIS and describe their responsibilities. 

The Coordination Plan will be in effect throughout the NEPA process, beginning with the issuance of the 

Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS for the Proposed Action and ending with the Record of Decision 

(ROD). The plan is a flexible, “living” document that can be amended as needed during the NEPA process. 

Throughout the NEPA process, the CP will be amended as needed to include updates to engagement plans 

for agencies and the public. Changes and updates to the plan will be documented in Section 5, “Revision 

History.” 
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 4 February 24, 2021

Chapter 2: Lead/Cooperating/Participating Agencies

2.1 LIST OF AGENCIES, ROLES, AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Lead agencies include the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), or any operating administration 

thereof designated by the Secretary, and any project sponsor that is a state or local governmental entity 

receiving Federal funds for the purpose of preparing any environmental document under NEPA (23 U.S.C. 

§ 139(a)(1)). For this Project, the FRA is serving as Federal lead agency. Lead agencies are responsible for 

providing an opportunity for public, cooperating, and participating agency involvement. It is the 

responsibility of the lead agencies to identify, invite, and involve cooperating and participating agencies.

Lead agencies are responsible for ensuring that the environmental review process is conducted properly 

and in accordance with all applicable environmental regulations. Lead agencies have the authority and 

responsibility to take proper and necessary actions to facilitate the expeditious resolution of the 

environmental review process for the project; and to prepare or ensure that any required EIS or other NEPA 

document is completed in accordance with applicable Federal laws (23 U.S.C. § 139 (c)(6)).

Cooperating agencies are Federal agencies other than the lead Federal agency that have jurisdiction by law, 

or special expertise with respect to a particular environmental issue involved in a particular project (40 CFR 

1501.5). Cooperating agencies may also be state or local agencies of similar qualifications or Indian tribal 

governments (40 CFR 1508.5), if agreed upon by the lead agencies. Federal agencies that are required to 

make an approval or take an action for a project must cooperate with the lead agencies to ensure that the 

cooperating Federal agency can reference the Project EIS to make their own NEPA determination for 

project actions within their jurisdiction (23 U.S.C. § 139(d)(8)).

Cooperating agencies have the responsibility to:

 Provide input on defining the Proposed Action’s purpose and need, the range of alternatives to be 

considered, and the methodologies and level of detail required in the alternatives analysis;

 Identify issues that could substantially delay or prevent granting of permit/approval; 

 Participate in coordination meetings and joint field reviews;

 Provide timely review and comments on pre-draft or pre-final environmental documents; and

 Prepare mitigation recommendations.

“Participating agencies” are those Federal, state, or local agencies or Federally recognized tribal 

governmental organizations with an interest in the Project. The standard for participating agency status is 

more encompassing than the standard for cooperating agency status. Therefore, cooperating agencies are, 

by definition, participating agencies, but not all participating agencies are cooperating agencies. As lead 

agency, the FRA considers the distinctions noted above in deciding whether to invite an agency to serve as 

a cooperating agency or as a participating agency.

The role of participating agencies is to:

 Provide input on defining the purpose and need for the Proposed Action, the range of alternatives 

to be considered, and the methodologies and level of detail required in the alternatives analysis;

 Participate in coordination meetings and joint field reviews, as appropriate;

 As requested by FRA, provide timely review and comments on pre-draft or pre-final 

environmental documents; and

 Provide timely comments on unresolved issues.
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 5 February 24, 2021

Cooperating agencies are participating agencies, but not all participating agencies are cooperating agencies; 

therefore, cooperating agencies share the responsibilities of participating agencies. Cooperating agencies 

have a higher degree of authority, responsibility, and involvement in the environmental review process than 

participating agencies. A cooperating agency with jurisdiction may adopt an EIS without re-circulating the 

EIS as the lead agency when, after an independent review of the EIS, the cooperating agency concludes 

that its comments and suggestions have been satisfied. This provision is particularly important for 

permitting agencies that, as cooperating agencies, routinely adopt environmental documents prepared by 

USDOT. Cooperating agencies also share the responsibilities of participating agencies.

Table 1 lists FRA as the lead agency and the agencies that have been invited to serve as participating 

agencies, with their applicable area of jurisdiction or expertise. While no cooperating agencies have been 

identified for this Project, CEQ regulations (40 CFR § 1501.6) state that an agency may request the lead 

agency to designate it a cooperating agency. Public agencies should advise FRA if they anticipate taking a 

major action in connection with the Proposed Action and if they wish to cooperate in the preparation of the 

EIS.

Chapter 3: Agency Coordination and Public Involvement

3.1 COOPERATING AND PARTICIPATING AGENCY COORDINATION

FRA will collaborate with the participating agencies and any later identified cooperating agencies in 

defining the purpose and need for the Proposed Action, range of reasonable alternatives to be examined in 

the EIS, and methodologies for documenting environmental conditions, assessing impacts, and use in 

supporting any future permit applications. While consensus is not required in the development of impact 

assessment methodologies, FRA must consider the views of the agencies with relevant interests before 

making a decision on a particular methodology. FRA will host agency coordination meetings to gather 

feedback from the agencies on the Proposed Action and proposed methodologies. After collaboration has

taken place, FRA will make the decision on the methodology and level of detail to be used. 

FRA will notify the participating agencies of the availability of the key Project documents, including the 

Scoping Document, Scoping Summary Report, DEIS, and FEIS/ROD, and will provide comment 

opportunities within specified time frames (which will vary depending on the documents being reviewed). 

Following issuance of the FEIS/ROD, FRA will consult with the agencies with permitting jurisdiction, to 

complete any necessary permits for the Project.

3.2 SECTION 106 CONSULTATION

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR § 800) requires Federal agencies to take into 

account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties that are listed or meet the eligibility criteria 

for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The Section 106 process has a specific public 

involvement component. In particular, regulations require that FRA, in consultation with the NYSHPO and 

Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPOs), as applicable, identify appropriate points for seeking public 

input and for notifying the public of the proposed undertaking. The regulations also require that the Federal 

agency seek and consider the views of the THPOs, SHPOs, and the public in a manner that reflects the 

nature and complexity of the project and its effects on historic properties. 

Public outreach for purposes of NEPA can be used to satisfy the public involvement requirements under 

Section 106, as long as the NEPA document contains adequate information about the Project’s effects on 

historic properties and provides the degree of thorough, consultative outreach that is required for the Section 

106 process. FRA has involved the public in the Section 106 process in coordination with the NEPA 

process. During the scoping process, FRA made a presentation available on the Project website that 

included Section 106 information, which remains available. The public was given the opportunity to 

provide FRA with comments on the Section 106 process during the comment period for the scoping process.

Public meetings (or their virtual equivalents, depending on the status of the ongoing public health 

emergency) for the Project will be advertised as opportunities for public involvement in the NHPA Section 

106 process. The public will also be given the opportunity to provide FRA with comments on the Section 

106 process during the public comment period on the DEIS. FRA invited members of the public with a 

demonstrated interest in the Project (due to the nature of their legal or economic relation to the undertaking 

or affected properties, or their concern with the undertaking’s effects on historic properties) to participate 

as Section 106 Consulting Parties. 

In July 3, 2020, FRA initiated consultation with the NYSHPO and Federal recognized tribal organizations 

to invite them to participate in the process. In accordance with Section 106 regulations, FRA consulted with 

the SHPO to identify other Consulting Parties to participate in the Section 106 process. FRA invited public 

agencies, preservation groups, other non-Federal recognized tribal organizations and other stakeholders to 
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 9 February 24, 2021

participate as Consulting Parties, in August 2020. In addition, FRA subsequently provided information 

regarding the Preferred Alternative’s proposed Area of Potential Effect, identification of historic properties, 

assessment of the Preferred Alternative’s potential effects on historic properties, and measures proposed to 

avoid, minimize and/or mitigate adverse effects to historic properties to Consulting Parties. The Consulting 

Parties have had an opportunity to provide their views on these items. Consultation with SHPO on Section 

106 resources was completed in March 2021. A complete description of the consultation process will be 

outlined in the Draft EIS. 

Copies of A Citizen’s Guide to Section 106 Review, published by the Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation (ACHP), and other information about the Section 106 process will be made available at future 

public meetings and on the Project website. 

3.3 SECTION 4(f) COORDINATION

In accordance with Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (Section 4(f) 49 U.S.C. § 

303) and FRA’s implementing regulations at 23 CFR § 774.5, FRA must provide opportunities for 

coordination and comment to the official(s) with jurisdiction over any Section 4(f) resource that may be 

affected by the Project as well as to the USDOI, and as appropriate, the Department of Agriculture and the 

Department of Housing and Urban Development. Resources protected under Section 4(f) include public 

parks, wildlife refuges, and historic resources. Section 4(f) historic sites, parks, and wildlife refuge 

properties will be identified through the Section 106 process and NEPA process, in consultation with 

NYSHPO, and any other relevant Consulting Parties or resource agencies. Stakeholders and the public are

provided an opportunity to review and comment on the Project’s Section 4(f) evaluation in coordination 

with the NEPA public review periods. 

3.4 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE OUTREACH

Executive Order (EO) 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations 

and Low-Income Populations, dated February 11, 1994, requires consideration of whether a proposed action 

would disproportionately affect minority or low-income groups (59 Fed Reg. 7629 [1994]). An 

environmental justice analysis will be prepared to identify and address disproportionate adverse impacts to 

environmental justice populations and to ensure that environmental justice populations are targeted in 

public outreach efforts throughout the life of the Project (during and after the NEPA process). 

In addition to EO 12898, Federal concerns for nondiscrimination under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 

1964 are applicable under the environmental justice process, and recipients of Federal aid must certify 

nondiscrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Title VI specifically states that “no person 

in the United States shall on the grounds of race, color, or national origin be excluded from participation 

in, denied benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal 

financial assistance.”

EO 12898 also requires Federal agencies to ensure public participation from communities with substantial 

minority or low-income populations. Each Federal agency has developed a strategy to address 

environmental justice, with CEQ responsible for oversight and coordination. The environmental justice

analysis for the Project will follow the guidance and methodologies recommended in CEQ’s Environmental 

Justice Guidelines under the National Environmental Policy Act (December 1997), the USDOT’s Final 

Order 5610.2(a) on Environmental Justice (April 1997 and updated May 2012), the FTA’s Environmental 

Justice Policy Guidance for Federal Transit Administration Recipients, Circular 4703.1, effective August 

15, 2012, and relevant guidance from the State of New York.

Minority populations covered by the Executive Order include Native American or Alaskan Native, 

Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Asian, Black and not of Hispanic origin, Hispanic, and populations of two or 
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 10 February 24, 2021

more races. Minority populations should be identified where either: 1) the minority population of the 

affected area exceeds 50 percent, or 2) the minority population percentage of the affected area is 

meaningfully greater than the minority population percentage in the general population or other appropriate 

unit of geographic analysis. 

Low-income populations are any readily identifiable group of low-income persons who live in geographic 

proximity, and, if circumstances warrant, geographically dispersed/transient persons who will be similarly 

affected by a proposed FRA program, policy, or activity. Low-income is defined as a person whose median 

household income is at or below the Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines.

An Environmental Justice analysis will be prepared for the Project to identify and address potential 

disproportionate adverse impacts to EJ populations and to ensure that EJ populations are targeted in public 

outreach efforts throughout the life of the Project (during and after the NEPA process). It is the intent of 

the EIS process to ensure that all members of the public are provided opportunities to be heard and to 

participate meaningfully from the outset of the Project and throughout all phases of Project development. 

Preliminary research has identified environmental justice communities in the vicinity of the Project. For 

this environmental review, the local environmental justice communities within the Project area in New 

York County will be included in the public outreach process, to ensure that they can participate 

meaningfully in review of the Project. As a general rule, the following principles will be adopted to support 

involvement of these local environmental justice communities in the project area:

 Documents, notices, and meetings will be made concise, understandable, and readily accessible to 

the public; 

 When appropriate, notices and meeting materials will be provided in both English and Spanish, as 

Spanish is the second most common language in the study area, and is spoken by many of the 

members of the environmental justice communities in the study area (see Section 3.5);

 The Project website is available in multiple languages in addition to English;

 Informational material will be made available through a variety of outlets;

 Any public events will be scheduled virtually or at convenient and accessible locations and times; 

and

 Various community leaders and groups will be contacted to increase public participation of 

constituent communities.

3.5 LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP) OUTREACH

Individuals who do not speak English as their primary language and who have a limited ability to read, 

speak, write, or understand English are considered “limited English proficient,” or LEP. Federal laws 

concerning language access rights and obligations include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 

Executive Order 13166. Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited 

English Proficiency,” was signed on August 11, 2000 and states that people who are LEP should have 

meaningful access to Federally conducted and funded programs and activities. The Executive Order 

requires Federal agencies to examine the services they provide, identify any need for services to those with 

limited English proficiency, and develop and implement a system to provide those services so LEP persons 

can have meaningful access to them.

The Western Rail Yard Infrastructure Project is taking steps to provide meaningful access to those LEP 

individuals expected to be most regularly encountered. Language interpretation and translation needs in the 
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 11 February 24, 2021

Project area predominantly involve Spanish-speaking individuals6. Meaningful access for these individuals 

includes providing Project materials and meeting notices in Spanish, advertising accommodation for LEP 

individuals, including the ability for LEP individuals to have language interpretation services available at 

public meetings upon advance request. In addition, instantaneous web-translation of the Project website is 

available on-line in multiple languages.

3.6 AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT COMPLIANCE

Should any in-person public meetings be held, they will be in locations that comply with the Americans 

with Disabilities Act (ADA) to assure that stakeholders who are disabled or elderly have access to meetings. 

Sign language interpreters will be available upon request at any in-person formal public meetings and other 

meetings. Public notices announcing public meetings will provide instructions for requesting 

accommodations.

The Project website has been designed to accommodate people with visual impairments (such as, adjustable 

text size, compatibility with screen readers). Website materials, including presentations posted to the 

Project website, will be prepared to be compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 

794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220) (Section 508).

3.7 OUTREACH ACTIVITIES 

Throughout the development of the EIS, FRA will conduct an open, participatory environmental review 

process. FRA will inform and solicit early and continued feedback from the public; encourage open 

discussion of Project details and issues; and provide opportunities for comments and questions.

The goals of the public outreach aspect of this coordination plan are as follows:

 To provide an opportunity and a mechanism for public participants to engage in the development 

of the EIS and give relevant input to the Project.

 To focus public input in a structured manner that will allow decisions to be made with the 

maximum benefit from public involvement. 

 To ensure that elected officials, agencies, stakeholders, and the general public are adequately 

informed about the Project and its implications for their communities, and to identify potential 

issues so that they can be addressed and resolved before the completion of the EIS process.

3.7.1 COMMUNICATING WITH THE PUBLIC

Due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency, and consistent with 

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance regarding large events and mass gatherings, 

FRA will conduct a virtual public scoping process for the Project. FRA will also hold other Project meetings 

virtually, including Section 106 Consulting Party meetings, and encourages submission of scoping 

comments for the Project and other documents electronically.

A number of different outreach tools and activities will be employed by FRA to involve the public. These 

will include the following:

 Permitting Dashboard: The Western Rail Yard Infrastructure Project will be added to the 

Permitting Dashboard for Federal Infrastructure Projects, which is an online tool for Federal 

 

6 Table C16001, PUMA Data for Manhattan Community Districts 4 and 5 [American Community Survey {ACS} 

2018 1-Year
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 12 February 24, 2021

agencies, project developers and interested members of the public to track the Federal 

government’s permitting and review process for large or complex infrastructure projects. Please 

refer to the Dashboard website (https://www.permits.performance.gov/).

 Website: A website (www.westernrailyardinfrastructure.com) has been developed for the Project. 

This website will include information on the EIS process, project activities and progress, public 

participation opportunities, and project contact information. Project documents will be available 

for download and review. The website will be kept up to date with information on the Project

alternatives, environmental review, and current and previous project documentation, and will 

provide a link to allow people to sign up for the mailing list or ask questions about the Project

electronically.

 Federal Docket: Information about the Project is also available on Regulations.gov, Docket No. 

FRA-2020-0039. The docket can also be used to submit comments on the Project or project 

materials (the Project website provides a direct link to the Docket system for submitting comments 

electronically), and provides transparency for project documents and comments received on the 

Project. 

 Mailing List: FRA has developed a mailing list of elected officials, public agency contacts, 

stakeholders and community groups, and members of the public with an interest in the Proposed 

Action. The mailing list will be updated throughout the life of the Project and used to disseminate 

project information and public involvement opportunities. Where email addresses are available, 

announcements will be distributed electronically.

 Local government and stakeholder briefings: FRA will brief the appropriate local government 

entities and stakeholders to provide information, answer questions, and receive feedback.

 Public comment periods at specific NEPA milestones: NEPA requires public comment periods 

to provide an opportunity for public input at two critical points during the environmental review: 

during the scoping process and when the Draft EIS is complete. 

 Other stakeholder outreach: Project staff are available to confer with any interested parties. The 

communications detailed above will indicate staff availability for meetings.

3.7.2 PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS

Opportunities for public input are listed in Section 4 (below) and include the following:

 Public Scoping Process. FRA will lead the outreach activities during the public scoping process, 

beginning with a scoping presentation made available on the Project website. A public scoping 

comment period will be held to gather input and feedback on the information presented in a 

Scoping Document, including the: Proposed Action’s purpose and need; alternatives for 

consideration; issues to be addressed in the environmental review; and methodologies to be used 

to evaluate impacts.

 Virtual Public Hearing and Comment on the DEIS. Following publication of the Draft EIS, 

there will be a virtual public hearing and comment period. FRA will solicit public comments on 

this DEIS through the end of the comment period. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 public health 

emergency, and consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidance 

regarding large events and mass gatherings, FRA will hold project meetings virtually, and 

encourages submission of comments for the project and other documents electronically. The DEIS 

will be available on the Federal Docket system (Regulations.gov, Docket No. FRA-2020-0039), 

the project website at www.westernrailyardinfrastructure.com, and at the local repositories 

(libraries and other publicly accessible locations) listed on the project website, where possible. 

The virtual public hearing will involve posting an on-demand presentation on the Project website 

about the DEIS, including information about how to provide comments on the DEIS. FRA will 
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 13 February 24, 2021

not hold a “live” hearing on a specific date. The public comment period will be open for a 

minimum of 45 days after the publication of the DEIS, as specified in the Notice of Availability 

for the DEIS. Public and interested agencies will have the opportunity to submit comments in 

writing, via the Docket system at Regulations.gov, Docket FRA-2020-0039, email, or US Mail to 

FRA.

The Project website and meeting flyers were used to publicize the public scoping comment period and will 

also be used to publicize the availability of the DEIS and the public comment period. The flyers and website 

materials will be available in English and Spanish, and will be mailed or emailed to the Project mailing list, 

including community organizations with interest in the Project to assist with their distribution. Flyers (hard 

copy and electronic versions) will also be distributed to local libraries, community centers, and Manhattan 

Community Board 4 office (where the Project site is located). In addition, the public scoping process and 

DEIS public comment period will be advertised in area newspapers (in English, with Spanish ads in 

corresponding local area papers), online media serving the area, and on the Project website. 

Other public involvement initiatives will be held throughout the course of the EIS. Public outreach activities 

will be announced on the Project website at www.westernrailyardinfrastructure.com and through mailings, 

public notices, and advertisements.

The Project website has been designed to accommodate people with visual impairments (such as, adjustable 

text size, compatibility with screen readers). Website materials, including presentations posted to the 

Project website, will be prepared to be compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 

794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220) (Section 508).

Local document repositories enable members of the public to examine Project documents, including EIS 

documents, and other informational materials. The proposed document repositories for the Project include 

local Community Board offices and local public libraries (to the extent possible during the ongoing public 

health emergency). Table 3 lists the names and addresses of the Project’s proposed document repositories.

3.7.3 STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT ACTIVITIES

FRA will seek out the involvement of community leaders, elected officials, and other stakeholders in the 

Project area. It is hoped that these individuals and organizations will assist FRA in understanding and 

addressing local concerns, including those of the environmental justice communities that could be affected 

by the Project. Stakeholder involvement activities will include:

 Section 106 Consulting Party Participation. See discussion above (Section 3.2).

 Environmental Justice Outreach. Outreach efforts specifically targeted to reach environmental 

justice communities located in the Project area. 

 Stakeholder Meetings. Meetings may be held with individuals or small groups to discuss specific 

Project considerations. 
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 14 February 24, 2021

Chapter 4: Coordination Points and Anticipated Completion Dates

Timeframes and review periods for the NEPA review have been established in accordance with the CEQ 

regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts § 1500‐1508), 23 CFR Part 771), and 23 USC § 139. The 

key coordination points are summarized below, and Table 4 provides a schedule of key milestone dates.

 Publish Notice of Intent (NOI): Publication of the NOI in the Federal Register formally 

announces the FRA’s intent to prepare an EIS for the Proposed Action and initiates the 

environmental review process. An NOI was published in the Federal Register (see: 

www.federalregister.gov/d/2020-12851) on June 15, 2020. 

 Scoping: A Scoping Document was made available on the Project website 

(www.westernrailyardinfrastructure.com) on July 1, 2020. A narrated presentation providing 

information about the NEPA environmental review process, the Scoping process, and the 

Proposed Action, the Project study area, Project Purpose and Need, environmental considerations, 

opportunities for public input, the associated Section 106 consultation process, and how to provide 

comments was provided on the Project website at westernrailyardinfrastructure.com. During the 

virtual public scoping comment period, the public could review information about the Project and 

formally submit comments to the FRA. The presentation and Project information was accessible 

to persons with disabilities and available in Spanish. The scoping comment period will extend 

until July 31, 2020.

 Invite Cooperating and Participating Agencies: 23 USC § 139 requires that within 45 days of 

the publication of the NOI (i.e., by July 30, 2020), FRA invite any other Federal and non-Federal 

agencies that may have an interest in the Project to become participating agencies in the NEPA 

review process. Letters were distributed to the agencies listed in Table 1 above in June and July 

2020 inviting them to participate in the agency scoping meeting, and inviting them to serve as 

participating agencies for the EIS.

 Public and Agency Coordination Plan: 23 USC § 139 requires that within 90 days of the NOI 

(i.e., by September 13, 2020), a Public and Agency Coordination Plan (Coordination Plan) be 

established by the lead agency. This Coordination Plan, which has been prepared in conformance 

with 23 USC § 139, details the plan for agency and public involvement for the Project, including 

the anticipated milestones for involvement. This Coordination Plan includes a proposed schedule 

for completion of the environmental review (see Table 4), and upon finalization, will have been 

established in consultation with and with the concurrence from each of the participating agencies. 

Once established, this environmental review schedule will be made available to the public and the 

participating agencies via the Permitting Dashboard for Federal Infrastructure projects, including 

any subsequent updates to the established schedule. 

 Ongoing Coordination with Agencies: Following establishment of the Coordination Plan, 

regular outreach will be conducted with the participating agencies. This will include regular 

conference calls (typically quarterly, or more frequently depending on the level of project activity) 

to keep them informed of progress. Participating agency briefings will be coordinated with certain 

key milestones, as indicated in Table 4 below. Federal and state agencies with a permitting role 

will be provided an opportunity to comment on the following project documents: the Purpose and 

Need as developed for the scoping process; and the Draft EIS and Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation, 

and the Administrative Draft FEIS and Draft Final Section 4(f) Evaluation documentation. 23 

USC § 139(g)(2)(B) requires the lead agency to establish comment deadlines for agency 

comments at a maximum of 30 days from the date of availability, unless otherwise agreed to by 

the agencies.
Updated Coordination Plan (V2) 15 February 24, 2021

 Section 106 Coordination: Outreach and consultation required under Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act will be conducted concurrently with the NEPA process. The approach 

for Section 106 coordination is discussed in Section 3, above.

 Permitting: Following completion of the NEPA process, the Project Sponsor will obtain the 

required permits for the Project. To expedite the schedule for completion of the Project, FRA 

wishes to coordinate the permitting process with the NEPA process wherever possible.

JUNE 25 - JULY 1,2020 Chelsea News|Chelsea Clinton News chelseanewsny.com 11

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the 

Western Rail Yard Infrastructure project in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

of 1969 and other applicable environmental laws. WRY Tenant LLC and Amtrak are partnering to apply 

for Federal financial assistance for the construction of a Platform and Tunnel Encasement at the Western 

Rail Yard site, located between West 30th and West 33rd Streets and Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues in 

Manhattan. The purpose of the project is to cover and protect the active railroad tracks and LIRR support 

facilities in the Western Rail Yard that house critical railroad infrastructure; to preserve a right-of-way 

through the Western Rail Yard to support the future construction of a trans-Hudson passenger rail 

crossing into New York Penn Station; and to provide additional new capacity for real estate development. 

The proposed project is subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Individuals and 

organizations may request to participate as a Consulting Party for this undertaking.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency, and consistent with the 

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance regarding large events and mass gatherings, FRA 

will conduct a virtual public scoping for the Project. 

Starting July 1, the public will be able to visit the project website at www.westernrailyardinfrastructure.

com to view a presentation describing the project and to submit comments. FRA invites the public and all 

interested parties to comment on the scope of the EIS during a 30-day scoping comment period from July 

1 through July 31, 2020. 

You can comment by filling out a comment form accessible via the Project’s website and using the 

comment link provided, or at Regulations.gov, Docket Number: FRA-2020-0039. You can also send written 

comments by mail to the following address: Western Rail Yard Infrastructure Project, c/o Fitzgerald & 

Halliday, Inc., 416 Asylum Street, Hartford, CT 06103. All comments will also be placed on file at Regulations.

We Pay Cash for:

York’s viral spread). It is true 

that someone brought the 

virus here from Europe. But 

we have no idea if it was a 

tourist, a returning New 

Yorker or a business traveler. 

In any case, we should be so 

lucky as to have tourism as a 

challenge. Right now there 

isn’t any. 

Shedding these myths will 

help New Yorkers to see that 

a “return to a state of normalcy” is largely in their own 

hands, which they should 

wash frequently. 

No Magic Bullet 

Vast amounts are being 

spent around the world to create a vaccine: A magic bullet, 

so to speak, to make us safer. 

But for now, our safety is 

based on the exact opposite 

idea. That there is no magic 

bullet, but rather, a series of 

measures that layered one 

upon the other substantially 

reduce the risks. 

Those measures fall into 

three categories: 

■ Box in the coronavirus. 

■ Protect yourself and the 

community. 

■ Improve treatment for 

COVID-19. 

These categories rest on 

proven science developed by 

generations of epidemic fighters. 

There is still no vaccine for 

HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, 

for example. Yet in the developed world, containment, protection and reducing the risk of 

the disease have transformed 

AIDS from fatal to chronic. 

There are also important examples of viruses that were 

stopped by combining a vaccine with one or more of these 

older strategies. The eradication of smallpox is probably the 

best known example. 

Box in the Virus 

The modern science of epidemic control dates back to 

the mid-19th century. It turns 

doctors to detectives to identify how a pathogen spreads 

and stop it. A pump handle is 

the symbol of epidemiology, 

from when a vicious outbreak 

of cholera in London in the 

Victorian age was traced to a 

tainted water pump. The 

pump handle was removed 

and the epidemic stopped. 

There is no pump handle for 

coronavirus. The source of the 

virus is infected people 

spreading it to others. The 

most effective way to stop the 

spread is to isolate infected 

people and trace everyone 

who has come in contact with 

them and isolate them, too. 

In theory, this alone can halt 

the infection. That is in theory. 

We are a long way from contact 

tracing this effective. Other 

countries are much more efficient in testing for coronavirus 

and tracing the contacts of 

those who test positive, said Dr. 

Theo Vos, Professor of Health 

Metrics Sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and 

Evaluation at the University of 

Washington. 

“We are a far cry away from 

having that properly implemented. The typical U.S. system is so dispersed — some 

state government, some counties. Many just flying by the 

seat of their pants.” 

Some 3,500 people have 

been put to work tracing infections in the five boroughs. Yet 

the first report from Mayor 

Bill de Blasio last week shows 

the city has a long way to go. 

From June 1, when the program started, 5,347 new cases 

of infection were identified. 

But only about a third of these 

people shared who they had 

been in contact with, according to the Mayor’s data. 

“We have no idea 

how/where people are getting 

infected in vast majority of 

cases,” Mark Levine, chair of 

the City Council Health Committee, said on Sunday. 

City officials have appealed 

for public cooperation. The 

more cooperation, the more 

the virus will be boxed in. 

Other countries and communities are doing better. At the 

same time, even this imperfect 

system is only the first layer of 

protection. Infectious cases 

that get past the test, trace and 

isolate team can still be kept at 

a safe distance. 

New York Smart 

We know much more today 

than we did four months ago 

about how coronavirus 

spreads. Principally, through 

the air from an infected person 

to others. This is important. 

When public health officials 

realized this they started urging everyone to wear a mask. 

Dr. Vos says his team has reviewed the data and research 

and concludes that widespread mask wearing reduces 

spread of the virus 36%. 

A group of researchers in 

Texas and California have concluded that New York’s decision to mandate masks on 

April 17 reduced infections “by 

over 66,000,” about a third of 

the 209,000 confirmed cases 

in the city. 

“It is rather unfortunate it 

has become such a politicized 

issue as it is one of the more effective policy levers we have,” 

said Dr. Vos. “I’m hoping that 

even in this environment in 

the US that with mandates and 

increasing social pressure, the 

attitudes will change.” 

He cites Hong Kong as a 

good example of high proportion mask use, at 95%. New 

York City Transit reports 92% 

mask use in the subways. 

Aerial transmission is also 

why outdoors is safer than indoors (fresh air dilutes the 

virus) and why better ventilation indoors reduces risk. Wiping surfaces, washing your 

hands frequently and maintaining a distance all also remain valuable protections. 

Better Health 

Even with all these layers of 

tracing, isolating, mask-wearing, cleaning and distancing, 

some people will still become 

infected so long as the virus is 

“in the community,” as public 

health officers phrase it. Coronavirus is a treacherous infection, having almost no effect 

on some and severely sickening others. More is being 

learned all the time about 

treatment. There are now two 

drugs, an antiviral and a steroid, approved for treating seriously ill COVID patients. 

These are reducing fatalities 

and hospital stays. 

There is another step that 

would make a major difference. Researchers have identified a set of chronic medical 

conditions — high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, obesity 

and deficiencies of Vitamin D 

and K – that increase the danger of COVID-19. All of these 

can be addressed by improving basic community medical 

services. If we are going to put 

our hopes on a “moon shot” effort, this is the place. Not only 

would a concerted push for 

better basic public health reduce longstanding inequities 

in medical care, it would reduce the fatality rate among 

fellow citizens who become infected despite all our other efforts to stop the virus.

Querida Sra. Migene:

Motivado por sus cálidas palabras

y sabios consejos me animo a dirigirme a usted con la esperanza de

que me ayude a resolver mi problema. Debido a un disgusto que

pasé en mi trabajo, me regresé a

mi casa muy alterado y es así que

hoy me encuentro desempleado.

Debido a mi avanzada edad será

muy difícil para mí conseguir otro

empleo. Mi única esperanza es recuperar mi antigua posición. Por

favor ayúdenme a lograrlo. Le estaré eternamente agradecido.

H.F. del Bronx.

Querido H.F.:

Corta 8 limones verdes por la

mitad, les pones sal de mar a cada

uno y te frotas bien con ellos. Este

es un excelente despojo contra la

mala suerte. Luego hierve damiana, hisopo, manzanilla, cáscara

de mavi y una cucharada de arroz

blanco en agua. Cuela el baño y le

añades cerveza y miel. Te echas el

baño por los hombros y te das una

ducha con un jabón del dinero.

Date 7 de estos baños. Después

de cada baño enciende una vela

de la abundancia. El último día inscribe el nombre de tu antiguo jefe

en un jabón de los ángeles y lo

metes en una fuente con miel,

melao de caña, miel rosada, bálsamo tranquilo y 7 piedras de dinerito. Al frente enciende la vela del

arcángel Sadkiel que rige los negocios. Cuando se termine la vela

llama a tu jefe, te excusas y te va a

dar tu trabajo de nuevo.

Querida Sra. Migene: 

Le expreso mi gran agradecimiento

por toda la ayuda que nos brinda a

través de su famosa columna. Le

escribo para pedirle ayuda para mi

hijo de 18 años. Él está muy deprimido porque su padre ha sido sentenciado a 5 años de prisión por

abusar de una menor. Mi hijo es

muy religioso, estudia teología y

hace varios días que no come y

dice que desea morirse. Temo por

su salud y por su vida. Por favor

ayúdelo. Dígame qué hacer. Madre

Desesperada de New Jersey.

Querida Madre Desesperada:

El trauma que ha recibido tu hijo ha

sido muy grande, sobre todo porque es tan religioso. Pero su

misma fe le va a dar la fuerza para

sobreponerse a su dolor. Parte un

coco por la mitad y lo vacías. Pon

una mitad sobre una copa con

agua de mar, agua de los ángeles

y agua bendita. Debajo pones un

papel con el nombre de tu hijo.

Adentro del coco pones agua sedativa, agua azahar, agua maravilla, manteca de cacao, alcanfor,

alumbre y azúcar. Tápalo con la

otra mitad y rodea la copa con un

círculo de cascarilla y 9 piedras de

la luna. Al frente enciende la vela

del arcángel Gabriel que rige la

mente y le pides que tranquilice a

tu hijo y le de paz y resignación.

Cuando se termine la vela amarra

el coco con una cinta blanca y lo

envuelves en algodón. Ponlo en un

lugar alto. Mete las piedras de la

luna debajo del colchón de la cama

de tu hijo.

Queridos amigos y amigas:

Saludos cariñosos a todos como

siempre. Gracias a todos los que

se unieron en oración conmigo el

domingo de ramos para pedirle al

Arcángel Miguel que intercediera

por nosotros ante Dios para la

destrucción del corona virus. Les

dije que rezaran el salmo 136 al

hacer la petición. Continúen haciendo este salmo los domingos a

las 10PM con una vela blanca pidiendo la intercesión de Miguel

ante Dios por nosotros y el mundo

entero. Para escribir a esta columna dirijan sus cartas a Nirvana

of New York, 828 9th Avenue,

New York, New York 10019. Pueden ordenar lo que necesiten por

correo llamando al (212)247-3733

o (212)489-9457. Pueden hacer

sus entrevistas conmigo por teléfono llamando a los mismos números. A continuación, las cartas

de la semana.

Con el cariño de siempre,

Migene González-Wippler

Los números de la semana según 

los signos donde va a estar la luna

son 8479 más 1 porque la luna 

empezó creciente y 0 porque 

terminó menguante.

el amor, la suerte y el dinero
