The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Omaha District, is announcing the extension of the comment period for the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and the Draft Conformity Determination for the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP). In accordance with 40 C.F.R. 1506.6, the Corps published a Notice of Availability for the NISP Final EIS in the Federal Register on July 20, 2018.
