BLM, as part of its standard process for solar projects, requires several baseline studies before beginning NEPA. The Project Sponsor and BLM have worked together to ensure completeness of the required studies and coordinated to manage BLM review and Project Sponsor submittals to maintain progress. Through recent increased coordination, the agency and Project Sponsor agreed that additional time is needed to finalize and approve the required studies.

The Project Sponsor provided revised documents addressing BLM comments on 8/12/2024. BLM reviewed the revised report and provided minimal comments back on 9/24/2024 and requested hard copies of the documents for SHPO/THPO consultation. BLM verified the report was complete on 9/26/2024 and will begin work on preparation of SHPO/THPO consultation initiation documents. The BLM plans to initiate SHPO/THPO consultation by October 11, 2024. This shifts the milestone by 15 days to allow for preparation and transmittal of documents.  This shift is anticipated to not affect the consultation conclusion milestone date.
