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.
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.
The schedule for this project has been updated to reflect the changes submitted to FPISC on January 12th, 2018. The DEIS has been delayed primarily due to additional analysis required for the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, and the California Public Utilities Commission review for CEQA adequacy. DOI has identified a new target completion date for the DEIS, and is expediting the remaining schedule accordingly.
The applicant has requested a change in the project that requires additional edits to the DEIS. DOI is requesting to adjust all dates going forward from the DEIS, to include the FEIS, ROD, ROW and NTP. Although the first milestone adds 42 days, the final action, which is the NTP is only extended by 2 weeks. The adjusted target completion dates have been developed in consultation with the applicant to accommodate their request.
This was a data entry error and should have been revised to 12/29. I apologize for the inconvenience. It's based on a dependency not having occurred and is consistent with the other dates reported for other Corps actions.
This milestone is dependent on the EIS which has an updated target completion date of 11/30/2018.
BSEE consulted with BOEM to change these dates, based on information from the project proponent. Hilcorp informed the Cooperating Agencies that it will not provide certain applications (such as this one) that are in its "Project Execution" phase, until it has made a business-case decision to sanction the project (by December 2018). BOEM (and the project sponsor), BSEE and the Project Proponent are all aware of this date change. BOEM is being reactive to the project proponent's request.
Project Sponsor indicated that a revised application will be submitted in June 2018, requiring the timeline to be adjusted accordingly. Additional information under the milestone (to be published).
