The Project Sponsor was able to complete the survey work and submit an application to BOR, which BOR deemed complete on December 7, 2023. But within the past few weeks, the Project Sponsor informed BOR that it would need to submit a new application based on new information.  The Project Sponsor intends to submit a supplemental application to BOR by June 2024, and BOR will need approximately 180 days to review the application. Accordingly, BLM, as the lead agency, has requested to move the final completion date for the BOR use authorization from March 31, 2024 to December 18, 2024. If all necessary information is provided in June, the December date will likely move up.

Planned
Project sponsor has not provided all required information for the processing of the Use Authorization.   The project crosses through the Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) Snake River Area Office boundary, crossing Reclamation fee owned lands and Reclamation Easements. The Snake River Area Office is the lead office for evaluation and issuance of the Reclamation permits. Reclamation anticipates receiving an application from the applicant for the Boardman to Hemingway project after their Plan of Development (POD) is finalized.  The applicant is targeting summer 2023 to issue final POD.  Once the POD is finalized the applicant will submit their application to Reclamation, the application processing time is estimated to be 90 days.  If approved a License Agreement will be issued for areas IPC crosses Reclamation fee owned lands and a Use Authorization will be issued for areas IPC crosses a Reclamation Easement.  Upon coordination with BLM and the applicant, a revised application will be submitted for the proposed project on or by 31 December 2023. The updated permit review and issuance schedule is as follows: Received application and final POD : 31 December 2023 Final verification/permit decision rendered: 31 March 2024 *dependent on receiving the application and final POD, 90-day processing timeframe The delay in receipt of a complete application and final POD from the applicant shifts the subsequent milestones.
