I also believe that the LOR (amendment 2) statement that the rehab of the Tobacco Warehouse will be "conducted in a manner that is compatible with and respects the architectural and historic significance of the Historic Resources" is not strong enough to be able to state that there won't be a possible adverse effect from that action. I recommend adding a stipulation to the MOA, at a minimum, that the SHPO will be able to review the design at the 35% and 75% stages, just as with the Empire Stores, and/or to state definitively that the rehab will be completed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. As to additional consulting parties, I'm not sure that any other parties immediately spring to mind that would need to be included - were you thinking of particular ones? If there were any, they should have been identified earlier in the Section 106 process and invited to participate in the development of the MOA. I'm not completely clear on how the consultation process has proceeded thus far, but, at minimum, the three non-nps consulting parties (the SHPO, BBP, and City) need to have also reviewed and concurred with the MOA before it goes out with the EA. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss anything further.

2 From: Grimaldi, Joseph (ALB) Sent: April 19, :05 PM To: 'Killinger, Sarah' Cc: Sokolowski, Jean; 'Kogel-Smucker, Sarah (Law)'; Martens, Kathleen (ALB); Adams, Julian (PEB) Subject: RE: FW: draft MOA Sarah, Attached is the revised MOA for the Brooklyn Bridge Park Tobacco Warehouse and Empire Stores. You will see we've added language that the LOR be referenced in an lease or sublease and that the governmental signatories have the right to enforce this document. Please let me know if this is acceptable or what additional changes will be needed. If it is acceptable, it will be incorporated into the EA, since it satisfies Section 106 and is necessary for NEPA. I would like to discuss the process for determining if other entities should be a party to this document. Is that something that should be done before the EA is released, or will it being included in the EA allow parties to request being considered for signing-on. Thank you for your continued assistance. From: Killinger, Sarah [mailto:sarah_killinger@nps.gov] Sent: April 15, :38 PM Subject: Re: FW: draft MOA Thank you! That actually removed several of my initial comments, since the second amendment does expressly call out the Tobacco Warehouse. Thanks for your assistance and patience with my questions.

State Certified Appraisers Title XI generally requires a State certified general appraiser to be a person who: (1) meets at least the minimum AQB criteria for Certified General Real Property Appraiser ; and (2) passes a State administered examination issued or endorsed by the AQB. While Title XI does not specifically mention the State Certified Residential Appraiser designation, it was adopted by the AQB, and the ASC has recognized it. A State certified residential appraiser is a person who: (1) meets at least the minimum AQB criteria for Certified Residential Real Property Appraiser ; and (2) passes a State administered examination issued or endorsed by the AQB. The AQB occasionally has amended both sets of criteria since their adoption in 1990, with the most recent changes taking effect on January 1, Copies of the current certification criteria (as well as the AQB s suggested criteria for Licensed Real Property Appraisers and Trainee Real Property Appraisers) can be obtained from the Appraisal Foundation by contacting the Foundation via Internet at by telephone at or through U.S. mail at th Street, N.W., Suite 1111; Washington, D.C Could you maybe get a Certified General reviewer from NY DOT or some other department to cosign Sandy's efforts (assuming she can get the appraisal deficiencies resolved)? I made it through the Conversion appraisals last night and will dive into the Replacement appraisals today so I should be ready to answer questions for Sandy tomorrow or Monday. I see the appraisals are vastly improved, but sadly, still have a long way to go. Ed - 3 -

From: Katzmire, Jacquelyn Sent: April 17, :18 AM Cc: Sokolowski, Jean; Sarah Killinger Subject: Re: FW: TW/ES Conversion Application That's right, I do remember that from our call. I think that's do-able. What if we get comments back to you by the 23rd or 24th - would that be enough time to finalize? =================================== Jacki Katzmire Regional Environmental Coordinator National Park Service, Northeast Region 200 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA Office: Telework (M&F): Questions?

We'll get started on the draft and coordinate with Jeannie and Jack. I don't recall if there was a set date to get comments back - do you have a target date?

I know you'll need to coordinate w/ Jeannie, but I wanted to give you a head start in reviewing documents. Since the ESF determines the level of environmental review, I'm sending along the PD- ESF, in four transmittals.
