Permitting Action Modification History

In Progress
The implementation of the above-mentioned policies is essential to ensure that development of the EIS is consistent with current legal and policy frameworks, and requires additional time for intra-agency coordination, stakeholder engagement, and technical analysis. These contributing factors have resulted in a 180-day delay to the development of the EIS. Therefore, the NEPA milestone dates have shifted 180-days as detailed in the table below.
