Type II Actions are actions which have been determined to not have a significant effect on the environment and do not require Environmental Impact Statements or any other determination of procedure under the provisions of SEQR. Type II actions are exempt and not subject to review. Therefore, no further action is required for the project pertaining to the SEQR. However, it would be advisable for the Board to recognize, in a formal resolution, that the work is considered a Type II Action under SEQR. We have enclosed a suggested resolution for your use.
