Part 2-PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE
Responsibility of Lead Agency
Gener-al Information (Re3d CarefuJly)
· In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question Have my responses and determinations been
reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst.
· Identifying that an impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant.
Any large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column :2 simply
asks that it be looked at further.
· The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of
magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and
for most situations. But, for any specific proj~ct or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropriate
for a Potential Large Impact response. thus requiring evaluation in Part 3.
· The impacts of each project. on each site. in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and
have been offered as guidance. They d~ not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question.
· The number of examples per Question does not indicate the importance of each question.
· In identifying impacts, consider long term. short term and cumlative effects.
Instructions (Read carefully)
a. Answer each of the 19 Questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact.
b. Maybe answers should be considered as Y~s answers.
c. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box (column 1 or 2) to indicate the potential size of the
impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided. check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold
is lower than example. check column 1.
d. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3.
e. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by changers) in the project to a small to moderate
impact, also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. This
must be explained in Part 3.
IMPACT ON LAND
1. Will the proposed action result in a physical change to the project site?
DNO ~YES
Examples that would apply to column 2
. Any construction on slopes of 15 % or greater, ('15 foot rise per 100
foot of length), or where the general slopes in the project area exceed
10%.
. Construction on land where the depth to the water table is less than
3 feet.
. Construction of paved parking area for 1,000 or more vehicles.
. Construction on land where bedrock is exposed or generally within
3 feet of existing ground surf ace,
. Construction thC1t will continue for more than 1 year or involve more
than one phase or stage.
. Excavation for mining purposes that would remove more than 1,000
tons of natural material (ie.. rock or soil) per year.
. Construction or expansion of a sanitary landfill.
. Construction in a designated floodway.
· Other irnpacts
2. Will there be an effect t[ ,..IY un;que or unusual land form.s found on
the site? O.e., cliffs, dunes, geological formations, etc.)!ltNO DYES

existing body of water to the extent that there will be (in obvious visual
contrast to n(lt.ural conditions.
. Proposed Action will require the storage of petroleum or ;chemical
products greater than 1..100 gallons.
· Proposed Action will allow residential uses in areaS without water
and/or sewer services. :
. Proposed Action locates comrnercial and/or industriClI uses which may
require new or expansion of existing waste treatment and/or storage
facilities, '

Part 3-EVALUATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPACTS
Responsibility of Lead Agency
Part 3 must be prepared if one or more impad(s) is conside~ed to be potentially large, even if the impact(s) may be
mitigated.
Instructions ,

Appendix A
State Environmental Quality Review
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM
SEQR
Purpose: The full EAf is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project
or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. frequent-
ly, there arc aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determine
significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may be technically expert in environmental
analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting
the question of significance.. .
The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination
process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action.
Full EAF Components: The full EAF is Comprised of three parts:
Pout 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its .'lite. By identifying basic project
data. it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3.
Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides
guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-
large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced.
. I
Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially~large. then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the
impact is actually important. '
DE1ERMINA liON OF SIGNIFICANCE!- Type '1 and Unlisted Actions
Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: l[) Part'l IX] Part 2 [] Part 3
Upon revie'll.' of the ird0rm~t!0n recorded on this EAF (Parts -Ijand 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any otfH>r~llppmting
information. and considering both the magitude and importat1ce of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the
lead agency that: .
o A. The project will not result in any large and important impact{s) and, therefore, is one which will not
have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared.
o B. Although the project could have a .$ignlfjcant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant
effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitiga~lon measures described in PART 3 have been required.
therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration! will be prepared.-
!
o C. The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact
on the environment, therefore a positive declara!tion will be prepared.
