The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) for the installation of an approximately 700 kilowatt (kW) sized solar photovoltaic (PV) system for generating renewable energy that would be consumed on site. The proposed site for the PV system is on EBCI reservation land adjacent to the water tower and parking lot of the Harrah’s Cherokee River Casino and Hotel located in Murphy, NC. The power produced would offset the energy demand of the casino and hotel as well as two administration buildings. A previous NEPA Determination (GFO-0000086-001; A9; 08/21/17) was completed for Task 5 activities. This NEPA Determination is for all remaining tasks of the project.
