Milestone Extension: Construction and Operations Plan

The delayed timing of submittal of information towards the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) permitting process by the project sponsor led to the need to revise the COP review and approval schedule for the CVOW Project.  The DEIS was shifted by 4-months with a new milestone date of 12/16/22.  The COP is being adjusted accordingly.

Milestone Extension: Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air Permit

The target date for the final OCS Air Permit milestone is 1-year after the date EPA determines the permit application is complete.  Since the OCS Air Permit application was deemed complete on 2/7/23, the date for the OCS Air Permit issuance of final decision is being adjusted accordingly.

Milestone Extension: Endangered Species Act Consultation (DOI-FWS)
