ACCESS TO THE REGIONS CORE (ARC)
NEW JERSEY TRANSIT

The project involves the construction of a new two-track rail tunnel under the Hudson River from New Jersey to New York Penn Station. Tasks included cultural resource studies and document preparation for a Draft Environmental Impact Statement. The project tasks include preparation of an Archaeological Predictive Model, APE Report, Project Initiation Package, survey and evaluation of hundreds of resources, agency coordination, and public involvement. The project will involve the formation of GIS data layers for cultural resources from Newark, Penn Station, the Meadowlands, and into Manhattan. Research has involved visiting public and private repositories in both New Jersey and New York, accessing paper and GIS data files at both SHPO offices, and coordinating with the New York City Landmarks Commission. Planned tasks also include the archaeological investigation of up to two archaeological sites within the project’s right-of-way.

A.D. Marble & Company plans to do work throughout Hudson County, New Jersey. Specific locations include the City of Jersey City, the Town of Kearny, the Township of North Bergen, and the Town of Secaucus.
