This chapter describes the sites and operations for which the results of environmental reviews are presented in Chapters 4 through 11. Each site description contains
a Site Location figure that identifies the approximate boundaries of the site and shows the surrounding neighborhood and a Facility Footprint figure that provides an
aerial view of the existing site with a footprint of the facility superimposed on the site.

These are the results of the environmental analyses of the West 135th Street Converted MTS, which include Land Use, Zoning and Public Policy, Socioeconomic Conditions,
Community Facilities, Open Space and Praklands, Cultural Resources, Urban Design and Visual Quality, Neighborhood Character, Traffic and Transportation, Air Quality,
Odor, Noise, Infrastructure and Energy, Natural Resources, Water Quality, Waterfront Revitalization Program, and Hazardous Materials.
The objective of the Study Area Evaluations is to identify potential areas of overlapping effects from multiple Transfer Stations in the Study Areas for air quality,
odor, noise, neighborhood character, public health and water quality from Transfer Stations located within each Study Area. Also, to identify traffic, off-site air quality and off-site
noise at key intersections along major corridors leading to and from Study Areas and the potential public health effects from the analyses conducted.
This chapter evaluates the potential impacts of the MTS Conversion Program on public health. The chief public health concerns are potential health effects of air
pollutants released by the Converted MTSs, effects of noise related to the Converted MTSs, effects of odors related to the Converted MTSs, and the potential for
vermin to infest areas near Converted MTS sites.
The DSNY is developing the City's new comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan that will address the long-term management, for the planning period
2004 through 2024, of both DSNY-managed Waste and commercial waste. City Council enacted Local Law 74 of 2000, effective December 19, 2000, which mandated a study of commercail
waste management in the City by a Consultant engaged by DSNY.
This report provides estimates of the quantity of commercial waste generated in New York City and projects estimates of the future quantities that will be generated during
the New SWMP Planning Period. It summarizes information that is presented in greater detail in Volume II, Appendices A through E, of the Commercial Waste Management
Study.
