| Task
1 was to develop a Final Scope for the Draft Generic Environmental
Impact Statement (DGEIS), and revise the Workplan for the
development of the Long-Term Plan to match the Scope. It also
created and put into operation the three key project Committees
(the Citizens Advisory Committee [CAC], the
Technical Advisory Committee [TAC], and the Steering Committee).
The project schedule was also finalized.
The draft Scope for the DGEIS was created
by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (Office
of Ecology) on August 8, 2002. The Council on Environmental
Quality recommended on November 20, 2002, that the County
Legislature adopt and finalize the revised Scope.
Part I of this Task Report discusses the
Scoping Process in detail. The draft Workplan was submitted
as part of the Cashin Associates-Cameron Engineering (CA-CE)
Team response to the County Request for Proposals on this
project on June 17, 2002. CA-CE amended the Workplan twice
in response to County comments. The Workplan was further amended
in response to public Scoping comments and additional County
comments. The Final Workplan has been included as Part II
of this Task Report. Part III of this Task Report is the Recommended
Final Scope, revised in response to public comments, and recommended
by CEQ to the County Legislature for finalization and adoption.
This Scope will serve as the basis for the DGEIS on the Long-Term
Plan. The DGEIS is projected to be submitted for public comment
in the early summer of 2004. Part IV of the Task 1 Report
is the Responses to Scoping Comments. This document summarizes
the comments submitted by the general public and interested
agencies to the draft Scope of the DGEIS. It also presents
the County response to those comments, and documents any changes
in the Scope resulting from the comments.
