Milestone Extension: Section 404 Clean Water Act

Agency staff tried to change the target date on December 27, 2017 (more than 30 days before the target date); however, due to staff leave over the Holidays, this update could not be made before the lock-out. Further, FPISC-OED failed to approve of the date change before the January 26, 2018 taraget date was missed. FPISC-OED has already approved via e-mail for this update to occur.

Milestone Extension: Right-of-Way Authorization (DOI-BLM)

The DEIS is delayed as a result of additional analysis completed by the applicant and BLM. The permitting timetable has been updated to reflect a new target completion date for the DEIS, and expedited scheduling for the remaining authorizations resulting in an overall decrease of 4 months over the previous target completion date for the project. (Previous NTP target 8/31/2109 - new target 4/30/2019)

Milestone Extension: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, Section 305 Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Consultation

This is a planned action and NOAA has not received a request for EFH consultation nor sufficient information to initiate EFH consultation. The target completion dates for the EFH consultation associated with this project are dependencies with target completion dates based on FERC’s EIS schedule. On February 27, 2018, FERC staff paused the draft and final EIS milestones for this project because additional information from the project sponsor was required to full assess impacts of the project.

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

    1. Project sponsor concurs with date change. See separate email to FERC, FPISC-OED, project sponsor and cooperating agencies. 2. see #1 above 3. It is up to FERC as lead agency to document any changes in the project's CPP. This has not been discussed at any project-specific CERPO meeting. 4. Target date for permit issuance may be "moved to the left" depending upon the date of completion of the Section 106 consultation process. 5. My agency CERPO has been made aware of the fact that the date is being changed because of the dependency factor.

Milestone Extension: Section 408 Permit

FERC EIS schedule changed and therefor the issuance a Section 408 decision also changed. The CPP was updated to reflect this change. The date change was coordinated with the project sponsor, JCLNG, who concurred on the date change and the FERC and the cooperating agencies were provided the update and the CPP on 20 March 2019.

Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

CURRENT STATUS:  The Corps is working with the EIS contractor to complete studies necessary for the integrated Regulatory and 408 Draft Environmental Impact Statement.  The delay in receiving the information from PCCA, which was requested in April 2020, and subsequent required sequential modelling has delayed the overall project schedule 12 months.

 

Milestone Extension: Endangered Species Act Consultation (NOAA-NMFS)

This is a planned action and NOAA has not received a request for formal consultation nor sufficient information to initiate consultation. The target completion dates for the ESA consultation associated with this project are dependencies with target completion dates based on FERC’s EIS schedule. On February 27, 2018, FERC staff paused the draft and final EIS milestones for this project because additional information from the project sponsor was required to full assess impacts of the project.
