Milestone Extension: Section 106 Review

Submitted by craig.litteken… on

While BOEM's obligations under National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and NEPA are independent, regulations implementing section 106 of NHPA at 36 CFR 800.8(c) allow the NEPA process and documentation to substitute for various aspects of the NHPA review. BOEM is using the NEPA process to fulfill its obligations under the NHPA. As such, the Section 106 consultation action milestones are interrelated with the EIS action milestones and affected commensurately by delays.

Description:

Skipjack Offshore Energy, LLC (SJOE) intends to develop, build, operate, and own (through one or more affiliated special purpose entities) an offshore wind farm located approximately 15 miles off the coast of Delaware within Lease Areas OCS A0519 and OCS A0482. The purpose of the Project is to construct and operate a new offshore wind farm designed to help one or more states within the mid-Atlantic region meet their clean energy goals. The Project would consist of up to 72 wind turbine generators (“WTG”), associated inter-array cabling, new onshore and offshore substations, transmission cables and onshore works for connection to the wholesale electric grid administered by PJM Interconnection L.L.C.

 

The Executive Director granted a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management request to extend completion dates for all actions on March 24, 2025. The Executive Director determination is posted here.
