Referenced Previous EISs
The proposed Chuckwalla Solar Projects would be the sixth utility-scale PV solar project on the Reservation to be recently evaluated in an EIS. The previously evaluated solar projects on the Reservation include:
While the solar site and gen-tie associated with the proposed Chuckwalla Solar Projects would occupy a different footprint than the previously evaluated PV solar projects on the Reservation, the previously analyzed facilities, location, and many of the resources/uses evaluated would be similar to Chuckwalla Solar Projects. Analyses from the previous resource investigations are incorporated by reference in the Chuckwalla Solar Projects EIS, where applicable.

The proposed Chuckwalla Solar Projects would be the sixth utility-scale PV solar project on the Reservation to be recently evaluated in an EIS. The previously evaluated solar projects on the Reservation include:
- K Road Moapa Solar Facility (K Road) - 350 MW PV solar project, Final EIS published in 2012, west of the Chuckwalla Solar Projects, constructed and operating (BIA 2012)
- Moapa Solar Energy Center (MSEC) - 200 MW PV solar project, Final EIS published in 2014, west of the Chuckwalla Solar Projects, approved but not constructed (BIA 2014a)
- Aiya Solar Project (Aiya) - 100 MW PV solar project, Final EIS published in 2016, north of the Chuckwalla Solar Projects, approved but not constructed (BIA 2016)
- Eagle Shadow Mountain Solar Project (ESMSP) – 300 MW PV solar project, Final EIS published in 2019, west of the Chuckwalla Solar Projects, currently under construction (BIA 2019)
- Arrow Canyon Solar Project (ACSP) – an expansion of the solar field of the approved MSEC solar project, Final SEIS published in 2020, north of the Chuckwalla Solar Projects approved but not constructed (BIA 2020)
- Southern Bighorn Solar Projects (SBSP) – two PV solar projects with a combined capacity of 400 MWs, Draft EIS published in 2021, west of the Chuckwalla Solar Projects, currently in the NEPA process (BIA 2021)
