My rez is next. FERC is reviewing an application for a pumped hydro storage facility in Choctaw Nation. Tribal council voted unanimously to oppose it, out of both environmental and cultural concerns.
Council has not been given enough info to determine specific impacts, but are surveying widely in the proposed project's general area. So far they've identified 36 historic archaeological sites, incl 14 Choctaw cemeteries.
