NYC GreenThumb Gardens Project Ditches Major Environmental Review
Published Date: 8/13/2025
Notice
Summary
The USDA NRCS and NYC Parks are canceling the big environmental study for the GreenThumb Gardens Water Supply Project in NYC’s five boroughs. After a careful check, they found no major environmental problems, so they don’t need to do the full report anymore. This means the project can move forward without delays or extra costs tied to that study.
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
EIS Rescinded; Project Can Move Forward
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service rescinded the April 24, 2024 Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the GreenThumb Gardens Water Supply Project in Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond Counties. NRCS completed an Environmental Evaluation, found no reasonably foreseeable significant effects, and determined the action fits a Categorical Exclusion, so the EIS is not required and the project can proceed without delays or extra costs tied to that study.
