BIA clears way for Mechoopda Tribe casino

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has issued a finding of significant environmental impact for the casino proposed by the Mechoopda Tribe of California.

Notice of the FONSI was published in The Oroville Mercury-Register, the paper said. A notice also will be published in the Federal Register before the BIA can take land into trust for the casino.

The tribe plans a modest casino on 630 acres. The casino, parking lot and support buildings would occupy about 91 acres of the site.
