Mr. Wisemiller and Ms. Alkemeyer,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries Feasibility Study (NYNJHATS) and Draft Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). My name is [ ]. I am a resident [frequent visitor/etc] of Hunters Point in Long Island City, Queens, and [spend time in] Gantry Plaza State Park and Hunter’s Point South Park, where a number of flood mitigation measures are being proposed.
I am particularly [worried about/in favor of] [feature] because of [impact to the community]. [Feel free to elaborate on multiple features, but more effective comments engage with the different types specifically rather than just the overall plan, but it’s also fine if just one aspect particularly concerns you.]
Overall, I [support/oppose/am concerned about] this plan because it will [describe effect] on the [aspect of the park you care about]. The Corps should continue to do local outreach and consider [community group you belong to or local group you support]
Sincerely,
[Name]
