Download as PDF 9964 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 39 / Tuesday, March 1, 2005 / Notices FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dawn Selwyn, (505) 563–3106. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pueblo proposes that 78.431 acres of land be taken into trust so that the Pueblo may use the property for the development of gaming and related entertainment facilities. The 78.431 acres proposed for trust acquisition are part of a 111.7 acre tract located on the southwest corner of Interstate 10 and New Mexico State Road 404 (O’Hara Road) in Dona Ana County, New Mexico. Although the eventual size and scope of the facilities may be altered based on information obtained through the EIS process, the Pueblo’s current proposal is to build and then operate for 2 years a 24,000 square foot temporary casino on acquired trust land, while building a permanent gaming facility. The permanent facility, also on acquired trust land, would have a 48,000 square feet gaming floor and would be connected to an 80 to 100 room hotel located on adjacent, non-trust land. The temporary casino would have asphalt parking for 500 vehicles that would be retained after operations begin in the permanent casino. Approximately 260 additional asphalt parking spaces, including spaces for oversized vehicles, will be added at the time the permanent casino begins operations. The proposed action encompasses the various federal approvals required to implement the Pueblo’s fee-to-trust application. Areas of environmental concern identified so far for analysis in the EIS include land resources, water resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, socioeconomic conditions, traffic and transportation, land use, public utilities and services, noise, lighting, hazardous materials, environmental justice, and visual resources/aesthetics. The range of issues and alternatives to be addressed in the EIS may be expanded based on comments received in response to this notice and at the public scoping meeting.
