Master plan for the redevelopment of Rikers Island for sustainability and resiliency purposes.

This bill would require the Department of Citywide Administrative Services to submit a master plan for the redevelopment of Rikers Island for sustainability and resiliency purposes, including wastewater treatment, renewable energy generation and storage, offshore wind converter stations, and composting and organic waste processing. The plan would include a proposed capital project plan, estimated implementation timeline, details about the design, funding, and construction timeline for each proposed project, and evaluations of physical alterations or infrastructure improvements that Rikers Island may require to support the new infrastructure. The plan would also include a proposed schedule for all necessary land use approvals and environmental reviews, and, for each proposed capital project, a preliminary scope of project and a recommendation as to whether the project should be included in the relevant agency’s departmental estimate for the purpose of requesting capital funding. At least sixty days before submitting the master plan to the Mayor and City Council, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services would have to post a draft plan that is open to public comment.
