Milestone Extension: Right-of-Way Authorization (DOI-BLM)

Submitted by fmarcell@blm.gov on

As I mentioned on the FAST-41 call with Jim Cason Thursday, January 23rd, we discussed two weeks ago, January 8th (and previous calls in December) that NextEra had not provided BLM and its contractor (Logan Simpson) the needed information concerning their technology changes to 3.0 MW turbines for Alternative 2.  BLM had expected the information by December 1, 2019 in order to complete the analysis for the Final EIS.  NextEra finally sent the data requested Friday, December 27th. With the holiday period, not much FO or SO review commenced until January 6, 2020 (following the end of the holiday period).  The delay in receiving the needed information equals a five-week loss of time.
