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

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.

Milestone Extension: Section 106 Review

The COP for this project was initially filed with BOEM in December 2020, and an NOI was
published in the Federal Register in July 2021. BOEM is currently working towards a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement milestone in 2024.
