Milestone Extension: Environmental Assessment (EA)

The USDA Rural Utilities Service (RUS) completion date for "Issuance of Final EA,"  was missed because the Executive Director did not timely receive a request to revise the completion date to a new date that is 30 days past the original completion date pursuant to 43 U.S.C. 4370m-2(c)(2)(D)(i)(III). This date needed to be extended and so was the date for EA Process concluded

Milestone Extension: Environmental Assessment (EA)

Due to issues regarding the sufficiency of the recently-issued FWS "Right-of-way authorization" for the project ( which may not be re-issued due to potential route changes  ), the RUS currently is reevaluating the scope and alternatives for the ongoing "Final EA" analysis pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Once this reevaluation is complete, the RUS will establish an alternate completion date for the action on the Dashboard. The agency has set an alternate completion date of 11/15/2021.
