Permitting Action Modification History

Planned
In the permitting timetable updated on November 20, 2023, Commission staff included a project sponsor dependency stating that the Commission’s “milestone target dates . . . are dependent on the project sponsor resolving all application deficiencies, additional information needs, and required studies by January 31, 2025.”  After the permitting timetable was updated, the project sponsor requested an extension of time to complete its hydrogeologic study with a final study report to be filed by January 31, 2026.  Commission staff issued a letter approving the extension of time on February 27, 2025.  To account for the additional time needed for the project sponsor to complete the study and file the study report, the Commission issued a notice of revised schedule for the project on March 3, 2025.  The Commission’s milestone target dates are being modified accordingly.

Planned
In the initial permitting timetable, Commission staff included a project sponsor dependency stating that the Commission’s “milestone target dates . . . are dependent on the project sponsor resolving all application deficiencies, additional information needs, and required studies by November 1, 2023.”  However, after the permitting timetable was published, the project sponsor indicated that the results of its hydrogeologic study (to provide data on local aquifer stratigraphy, groundwater elevation, and water quality needed to support the design of the project’s water supply wellfield) would be filed by “November 2024.”  On October 26, 2023, Commission staff issued a letter requiring the project sponsor to file the corresponding study results with the Bureau of Land Management before filing them with the Commission by January 31, 2025.  The Commission’s milestone target dates are being modified to account for the additional time needed for the project sponsor to complete the study and file the study results.
