7/28/26 UPDATE: An approved jurisdictional determination was made on 7/22/2026. Through review of the original EA process, USACE initiated the determination that the Graphite Creek Project is likely to result in reasonably foreseeable significant effects and that preparation of an EIS is required due to the likely significant effects of the activity. Therefore, the EA action was cancelled and an EIS action was added to the dashboard. In addition, the Section 404 final permit decision milestone was modified to comport with the EIS evaluation.
Regarding Section 106, on June 18, 2026 the Alaska State Historic Preservation Office (“SHPO”) concurred with four eligibility determinations, but did not concur with fourteen other eligibility determinations for identified cultural resources. The SHPO requested additional analysis and consideration of these fourteen cultural resources. USACE is requesting additional time to conduct the additional analysis, necessary consultation with the SHPO and consulting parties, and development of a Memorandum of Agreement to provide adequate mitigation for impacts to cultural resources.
The BLM CA Needles Field Office requested an Executive Director Determination to shift of the final Section 106 milestone to address to unresolved eligibility issues. The California and Nevada SHPOs formally disagreed with BLM’s determination that a pre-contact site is not eligible for the National Register and has advised that BLM engage in further consultation with Tribes before making any final eligibility determination. The extension was granted on July 27, 2026.
