About
The Environmental review process is also known as the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR). CEQR is a process in which NYC agencies review proposed land use changes to identify the potential effects those land use changes might have on the environment.

What are we looking at?
An environmental review under CEQR looks at how proposed land use changes may affect the neighborhood and examines a variety of planning topics including:
- Land use, zoning, public policy
| | | |
| | | |
- Socio-economic conditions
| - Historic & Cultural Resources
| - Water & sewer infrastructure
| |
- Community facilities & services
| - Urban Design & visual resources
| - Solid waste & sanitation services

What’s the process?
Key steps in the process include:
Draft Scope of Work (DSOW)
Click here to read a copy of Jamaica Draft Scope of Work – Released 6/11
The Draft Scope of Work (DSOW) is a draft document that describes the proposed zoning changes and outlines the types of environmental analyses that may be studied, helping the public understand and participate in the environmental review from the start. A draft scope of work also shares estimates for future development based on reasonable assumptions about current and expected development trends, so that planners can anticipate community needs.

The Scoping Meeting allows the public to advocate for the issues they want addressed. The agency leading the review responds to comments received as part of the public review process.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement, or DEIS, discloses data relevant to planning to inform the public and decision makers during their evaluation of a proposed project in the public land use review process (ULURP). The DEIS may outline possible mitigation measures for potential "impacts" in each of these categories as well as alternatives to the proposal. Public hearings on the DEIS along with the hearing on the land use application are held at various steps in the land use review process.
Final Environmental Impact Statement, or FEIS
In the Final Environmental Impact Statement, or FEIS, the analyses are finalized and the DEIS is revised in response to community comments. It also incorporates refined data regarding potential mitigations
