NRCS is rescinding its April 24, 2024 Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS for the GreenThumb Gardens Water Supply Project Watershed Plan in New York City. After conducting an Environmental Evaluation, NRCS determined the action has no reasonably foreseeable significant effect and qualifies for a Categorical Exclusion under 7 CFR 1b.4(d)(23), covering water conservation activities on existing agricultural lands. The project's purpose is to provide reliable on-site water supply to GreenThumb community gardens across all five NYC boroughs. An EIS is no longer necessary.12
