H2M initiated work on an Expanded Environmental Assessment for the temporary generation facility projects at South Fork in January of 2017. This project included the creation and installation of multiple modular compressed natural gas fired generators to be utilized during peak operational periods from the months of May to September for 2017, 2018 and 2019. We provided all permitting support services, including coordination with NYSDEC; expanded assessment documentation for land use, natural resources, visual resources, traffic, air quality, energy, construction, coastal zone consistency, and smart growth infrastructure policy. As part of the natural resources analysis, H2M ecologists performed tidal wetland delineations, habitat characterization, and inspection of the sites for threatened and endangered species. These temporary generator facilities will be active until September 2019, when additional power capacity is anticipated to be available from alternative sources.
