An interim lease under this subsection shall not be entered into without prior consultation with the redevelopment authority concerned. “(C) Subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall not apply to an interim lease under this subsection if authorized activities under the lease would— “(i) significantly affect the quality of the human environment; or (ii) irreversibly alter the environment in a way that would preclude any reasonable disposal alternative of the property concerned..
