Milestone Extension: Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 Clean Water Act

Submitted by carlos_arandia on

Although the Corps is making every attempt to render a permit decision by May 22, 2019, a decision cannot be made until a mitigation plan is provided by the applicant that meets the requirements of 33 CFR 332. The Corps is awaiting for receipt of the applicant's long-term management plan and financial assurances instrument for portions of the proposed permittee responsible mitigation areas. This information was requested on February 26, 2019, and a response was provided by the applicant on March 19, 2019, but the response did not include all of the necessary information. The Corps met with FPL on April 23, 2019 to discuss the outstanding issues with financial assurances and long-term management, both the draft instruments and the funding mechanisms. FPL will revise their mitigation plan and resubmit with the necessary changes, "as soon as possible" but were not able to provide a definitive date. As such, the Corps is requesting an extension of permitting timelines of the FPL Turkey Point project from May 22, 2019 until June 22, 2019. Should submittal of any required information be delayed, the Corps will need to continue to adjust its timeline.
