Background and Purpose 

The PANYNJ, a transportation and 

development agency in the Port of New 

York and New Jersey, has proposed 

replacement of the functionally and 

physically obsolete Goethals Bridge, 

which carries I–278 vehicular traffic 

between Staten Island, NY, and 

Elizabeth, NJ. Over the past two 

decades, PANYNJ studies have shown 

the need to: Address design deficiencies 

of the existing bridge; provide safer 

operating conditions and reduce 

accidents on the bridge; provide for safe 

and reliable truck access as part of the 

regional commercial network; reduce 

life-cycle costs; provide transportation 

system redundancy; and improve traffic 

service. The project consists of a new 

cable-stayed bridge to replace the 

existing bridge, which is proposed for 

demolition. The new bridge would 

consist of six 12-foot travel lanes, three 

on each roadway deck, inner and outer 

shoulders, a bikeway/sidewalk and a 

central area of sufficient width to 

accommodate the potential for a future 

transit system. 

As a structure over navigable waters 

of the United States, any replacement 

bridge requires a U.S. Coast Guard 

Bridge Permit pursuant to the General 

Bridge Act of 1946 (Title 33 U.S.C. 525– 

533). Additionally, the bridge permit 

would be the major Federal action in 

this undertaking since Federal funds 

will not be used, and therefore the 

Department of Homeland Security, 

through the United States Coast Guard 

is the Federal lead agency for review of 

potential effects on the human 

environment, including historic 

properties, pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.) and the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended 

(16 U.S.C. 470). The Coast Guard has 

prepared a DEIS. See ‘‘Viewing the 

comments and DEIS’’ above. The DEIS 

identifies and examines the reasonable 

alternatives (including No Build) and 

assesses the potential for impact to the 

human environment, including historic 

properties, of the alternative proposals. 

The DEIS provides an in-depth analysis 

of four alternative build sites, two north 

and two south of the existing bridge. 

We are requesting your comments on 

environmental and historic preservation 

concerns that you may have related to 

the DEIS. This includes suggesting 

analyses and methodologies for use in 

the DEIS or possible sources of data or 

information not included in the DEIS. 

Your comments will be considered in 

preparing the final Environmental 

Impact Statement.

Public Meeting 

The Coast Guard will hold two public 

meetings regarding the DEIS: 

1. On Wednesday, July 8, 2009, from 

4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Council 

Chambers of Elizabeth City Hall, 50 

Winfield Scott Plaza, Elizabeth, NJ; 

2. On Thursday, July 9, 2009, from 4 

p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Harbor Room of 

The Staten Island Hotel, 1415 Richmond 

Avenue, Staten Island, NY. 

The purpose of these meetings is to 

consider an application by the PANYNJ 

for Coast Guard approval of the location 

and plans of a proposed six lane fixed, 

vehicular bridge across Arthur Kill, mile 

11.5 between Staten Island, NY, and 

Elizabeth, NJ, which would replace the 

existing Goethals Bridge. All interested 

parties may present data, views and 

comments, orally or in writing, 

concerning the impact of the proposed 

bridge project on navigation and the 

human environment. Of particular 

concern at this time is the impact the 

proposed action will have on the human 

environment and historic properties. 

The public meetings will be informal. 

A representative of the Coast Guard will 

preside, make a brief opening statement 

and announce the procedure to be 

followed at the meetings. Attendees 

who request an opportunity to present 

oral comments at a public meeting must 

sign up to speak at the meeting site at 

the designated time of the meeting. 

Speakers will be called in the order of 

receipt of the request. Attendees at the 

meeting, who wish to present testimony, 

and have not previously made a request 

to do so, will follow those having 

submitted a request, as time permits. All 

oral presentations will be limited to 

three minutes. Please note that the 

meetings may close early if all business 

is finished.
