Permitting Action Modification History

Complete
Early completion of the prior milestone enabled early completion of the final milestone.  Also, the completed ESA consultation resulted in the issuance of an LOC -- the consultation was completed informally (whereas the original milestone reflected a formal consultation). The Action outcome was issuance of a Letter of Concurrence (LOC). , basic_html
