Milestone Extension: Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 Clean Water Act
This milestone is dependent on the EIS ROD milestone in the EIS milestones. The ROD milestone moved due to the DEIS delay. This milestone needs to be 120 days after ROD. The DEIS delay is due to lessee not providing a complete and sufficient Historic Resources Visual Effects Assessment (HRVEA) and Terrestrial Archaeological Resources Assessment (TARA) and Visual Impact Assessment (VIA). Without this data BOEM cannot identify historic properties and assess the effects of the project or conduct necessary Section 106 consultation prior to publication of the draft EIS.

To issue this authorization USACE needs the BOEM ROD. The ROD Milestone was moved due to the delay of the DEIS.
