The requirements of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA)1 as they relate to a particular project are among the most important considerations that developers, property owners, and local governments have to keep in mind. In many instances, SEQRA mandates preparation of a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and, then, a final environmental impact statement (FEIS).
Importantly, however, even an FEIS may not be the end of the environmental review process under the statute. Project changes, the discovery of new information, a change of circumstances, or a wide variety of unexpected matters may lead to the need to supplement an FEIS. Regulations of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and a number of important court decisions help to determine when a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) may or may not be required.
