Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

Submitted by craig.litteken… on

A shift in the EIS schedule is necessary due to a delay in completion of construction and operations plan (COP) milestone(s) as further detailed below under the relevant action. The EIS action milestones are dependent on COP Milestone Applicant submits an Application Consistent with the NOI Checklist because this milestone must be completed before initiation of the NEPA process through issuance of a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS.
