Milestone Extension: Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air Permit
The timing of the OCS Air Permit is planned to cover the project construction activity, anticipated in late 2027 to early 2028. The proposed milestone for the OCS Air Permit has been shifted in accordance with the proposed schedule shift for the project.
Milestone Extension: Section 408 Permit
The changes to the PDE as described above will need to be analyzed and considered by USACE as part of their permitting processes. In addition, the Section 10/404 final completion date is dependent upon the final completion date of BOEM’s NEPA action. For this project, the USACE review will require 120 days between issuance of the ROD and issuance of USACE’s Section 10/404 decision. Therefore, an extension of the Section 10/404 final completion date is requested based upon the extension of the NEPA completion date.
