Planned
The milestone for determining the EFH Assessment complete was extended due to new information from the project sponsor.  Therefore, the date for issuance of any conservation recommendations is being extended commesurately.

Planned
The Project Sponsor presented new information about construction methods (dredging, sheet pile, living shorelines and riprap) on 10/4/22 that may result in different impacts. Coordination between BOEM, NOAA, and USACE was needed to review the project information and determine whether revisions to the EFH Assessment were necessary. NOAA subsequently determined that the new info submitted by the Project Sponsor constituted new information that was not previously included in the EFH consultation package and therefore, NOAA could not determine the EFH assessment complete. The new info will have to be incorporated into a revised EFH assessment and resubmitted to NOAA. The milestone date is being updated to reflect the new date for NOAA to determine the EFH assessment complete.

Planned
BOEM anticipates receiving additional EFH benthic habitat survey information on August 12, 2022 and August 26, 2022.  However, the 30-day lockout period for updates to the EFH Milestones on the Dashboard is on August 13, 2022.  In order to provide BOEM time to review the additional survey information and determine whether an addendum to the EFH Assessment is required, and allow NOAA/NMFS time to review an addendum (if needed), the milestone is being pushed back 30 days.  Given the milestone is being extended 30 days, the milestone for issuance of conservation recommendations is also being extended 30 days.   This extension does not affect the overall project schedule.
