Planned
Internal coordination among USACE 408 and Regulatory, as well as with the Project Sponsor, created a delay in a complete application which was necessary to identify the ESA action area.  This delay resulted in a domino effect to subsequent milestones.  Informal ESA consultation is anticipated.  FWS will update the final completion date to align with informal consultation once a complete ESA consultation submission is submitted to FWS., basic_html
