U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Virtual Public Information Sessions on the New York-New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries Coastal Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New York District will host a series of virtual public information sessions to provide an update on the New York-New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries coastal storm risk management feasibility study (NYNJHAT Study).

These sessions will precede the public release of the Draft Integrated Interim Response Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment (Draft Report), which identifies proposed Actionable Elements for near-term coastal storm risk management projects.

The Draft Report will be released for public review on July 24, 2025.

The public information sessions will offer an overview of the Draft Report and proposed Actionable Elements, along with information on how the public can actively participate and provide input during the Draft Report’s public comment period that will start on July 24, 2025, and end on August 25, 2025.

Two identical virtual public information sessions will be held:
