The first notice of schedule, issued on September 14, 2016, identified April 28, 2017 as the final EIS issuance date. However, due to recently filed re-routes and additional environmental information that required re-opening a scoping period, it was necessary for us to revise the published EIS schedule. Staff has now received all the information necessary to complete our review. As a result, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the final EIS, based on a revised issuance of the draft EIS in February 2017. Schedule for Environmental Review Issuance of Notice of Availability of the final EIS: July 28, 2017. 90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: October 26, 2017. If another schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the projects' progress.
