Milestone Extension: Section 404 Clean Water Act

The project sponsor has paused this permit review. As such we are marking the permit as Paused, and changing the target date. Amber Levofsky confirmed via e-mail dated 6/27/17 that this permit/milestone should be paused.

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

We did not previously have a target date for our target completion date (our 4th and last milestone), or target dates for our 2nd and 3rd milestones, so there is nothing to extend beyond 30 days. As such, I am not sure why this notification is popping up. I marked the "reason for change" date as "Updating Planned Date". I was under the impression from the last Dashboard Administrator meeting that updating planned dates do not require FPISC OED review, even if planned completion dates would be extended more than 30 days. It would be very helpful to get clarification on this.

Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

The DEIS has been delayed due to additional analysis required to address mitigation concerns.  DOI has identified a new target completion date for the DEIS and is expediting the remaining permitting milestones accordingly, which includes issuing the ROD and ROW concurrently.

Milestone Extension: Section 408 Permit

The reason for the date changes was because of the unknown FERC DEIS and FEIS projected release dates. Once those dates were known, the Portland District worked with the applicant on new 408 decision dates. The applicant concurred with the new dates. The date changes coincide with the FERC EIS schedule dates. CERPR has been made aware of the date changes and an email was sent to all interested parties and no objection was received.

Milestone Extension: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

On February 27, 2018, Commission staff paused this action because it required additional information to fully assess safety impacts in the Environmental Impact Statement. As of May 18, 2018, Commission staff had received sufficient additional information and issued a Notice of Revised Schedule for completing the NEPA review, and was able to unpause this action. FERC staff consulted with the other agencies and the project sponsor for the revised target dates to complete NEPA.
