Project Description
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), as Lead Agency pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617 (SEQR), has determined that the proposed construction and operation of the Matrix Global Logistics Park West Campus is a Type I Action and may have a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) must be prepared.
The proposed action is the development of two (2) logistics facilities located along the east side of the Arthur Kill at 530-534 Gulf Avenue, Staten Island, on the north and south side of 5th Street/Frank W. Gay Blvd. The action involves the development of approximately 72 acres containing both regulated freshwater wetlands and tidal wetlands and the construction of two (2) buildings totaling approximately 1.77 million square feet; 1,006 parking spaces; 268 truck loading berths; 208 trailer parking spaces; utilities (including an 8-inch natural gas main); sewer and water infrastructure; roadway improvements; a stormwater management system; and accessory structures.
As proposed, the action would involve: infilling 4.69 acres of state regulated freshwater wetlands and 0.01 acres of state regulated tidal wetlands; developing within approximately nineteen (19.49) acres of state regulated wetland adjacent area and conducting approximately 9.40 acres of onsite wetland mitigation. Primary access to the proposed action from Gulf Avenue would be provided by a proposed western extension of Frank W. Gay Boulevard/5th Street. The 72-acre site of the proposed action is located primarily on portions of 5 lots, where the total area of the five (5) lots is approximately 261 acres. A Final Scoping has been prepared to outline the content of the required Draft EIS.
