BIA to review California off-reservation casino again
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is giving an off-reservation casino in California a second review after it was rejected by former assistant secretary Carl Artman.
In a
notice being published in the Federal Register today, the BIA said it will prepare another environmental impact statement on the off-reservation casino sought by the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians. The tribe seeks to acquire 45 acres in Barstow, more than 100 miles from the reservation.
Artman rejected the project in January because he said the gaming site was too far from the reservation. The Los Coyotes Band, however, renewed the proposal.
The Big Lagoon Rancheria was part of the original project but is no longer seeking an off-reservation casino.
Today's notice gives the public until July 7 to comment on "what should be covered" in the new EIS..
