Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

Submitted by craig.litteken… on

The delayed timing of submittal of information towards the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) permitting process by the project sponsor led to the need to revise the COP review and approval schedule for the CVOW Project.  The DEIS was shifted by 4-months with a new milestone date of 12/16/22.  The FEIS and ROD are being adjusted accordingly.

Description:

Dominion Energy is proposing to construct, own, and operate the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) Commercial Project (the Project). The Project will be located in the Commercial Lease of Submerged Lands for Renewable Energy Development on the Outer Continental Shelf Offshore Virginia (Lease No. OCS-A-0483) (Lease Area). The Lease Area, located within Official Protraction Diagram NJ18-11 Currituck Sound, covers approximately 112,799 acres (45,658 hectares) and is approximately 27 statute miles (23.75 nautical miles, 43.99 kilometers) off the Virginia Beach coastline.

FAST-41 provides increased transparency and predictability by requiring Federal agencies to publish comprehensive permitting timetables for all "covered" projects, and provides clear procedures for modifying permitting timetables to address the unpredictability inherent in the environmental review and permitting process for significant infrastructure projects.
