The proposed Core Block development included retail, parking, hotel and residential uses; and WHEREAS, in September 2004, the Core Block Group filed an Expanded Environmental Notification Form ( Expanded ENF )/Project Notification Form ( PNF ) and the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs ( EEA ) issued a Certificate for the Expanded ENF on November 22, 2004 approving a Single Environmental Impact Report ( SEIR ) process for the Core Block project; and WHEREAS, the Core Block Group filed an SEIR for the Core Block project, followed by a Notice of Project Change ( NPC ) to address project modifications, and the Certificate addressing the SEIR/NPC was issued on April 13, 2007; and WHEREAS, in January 2010, the Board voted to divide the Core Block into two phases: Phase 1 being the northern portion of the Core Block site (situated on Congress Street) and Phase 2 being the remainder of the Core Block site (where the future South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center and the Summer Street Hotel will be located). Additionally, the Board reconfirmed The Drew Company, as the sole remaining member of the Core Block Group, as the developer of the northern portion of the Core Block; and WHEREAS, ultimately, in response to real estate market conditions, The Drew Company ( Developer ) sought to further divide the northern Phase 1 parcel into two separate development projects, Phase 1A (WSP1) and Phase 1B (WSP2) and the Board approved this division in June 2011; and

The Expanded ENF, the SEIR and the NPC describe the environmental impacts of WSP1 and WSP2 and the means and measures that are feasible and are planned in connection with WSP1 and WSP2 for the purpose of minimizing and avoiding damage to the environment.
