Project sponsor delays in providing the required Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)-related
application to the state of New Jersey is causing a delay in completion of the Federal consistency review
and decision, which is needed prior to BOEM issuing a construction and operations plan (COP) decision.
Generally, BOEM requires the consistency determination be complete 90-days prior to the Record of
Decision (ROD).
