A Draft Environmental Impact Statement is a required step in the State-mandated SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review Act) process. The Town Board of the Town of Islip, as lead agency, has deemed the applicant/project sponsor’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to be complete and ready for public review, which solely indicates that the DEIS addresses the issues identified in the Final Scope.

The proposed project would include on-site stormwater controls and sanitary wastewater treatment systems, connections to public water supplies, interior recreational and accessory amenities (available to the residents of the proposed development, including interior open spaces, outdoor pool/patio areas, and an internal walking trail network). It also proposed a 25-acre open space area along the perimeter of the site, in which a pedestrian path is proposed, which would be available to the public.
