approximately 10 miles north of

by Interstate 5, to the northwest by the
Corning Canal, to the south by Flores

agricultural land.
The foreseeable components of the

associated facilities. The casino would
be approximately 120,000 square feet

restaurant, buffet, gift shop, two cage
areas, restrooms, security, surveillance,

infrastructure would include on-site
wastewater treatment and disposal
facilities, an onsite water system

storage tank, a stormwater detention
basin, on site parking and a paved
access road.
The proposed action and a reasonable
range of alternatives, including a noaction alternative, will be analyzed in

currently under consideration are an
alternate-use alternative and an off-site
alternative located in Plumas County,
California. Areas of environmental
concern to be addressed in the EIS
include land use, geology and soils,
water resources, agricultural resources,
biological resources, cultural resources,
mineral resources, paleontological
resources, traffic and transportation,
noise, air quality, public health/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Marilyn Bercier, (605) 226–7645.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BIA
and the Tribe propose to reconstruct
BIA Route 27 from a point 5.3 miles
northeast of its intersection with BIA Rt.
28 and then about 7.5 miles south and
east to its intersection with State
Highway 18. BIA Route 27 is located on
the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in
Townships 36, 37 & 38 North and
Ranges 42 & 43 West in Shannon
County, South Dakota.
The purpose of the proposed
reconstruction is to meet current safety
guidelines. The existing asphalt surface
is distressed and deteriorating.
Numerous safety deficiencies include
steep side slopes, abrupt vertical and
horizontal curvatures, narrow roadway
surfaces, steep in-slopes and backslopes, protruding pipes, improper sight
distances and roadside obstructions
(trees) within clear zones. The highway
provides residential access and serves as
a major connector route to and from the
Pine Ridge Community, but currently
poses severe safety hazards to the
members of the Tribe and the general
traveling public.
Areas of environmental concern so far
identified for analysis in the EIS include
socio-economics, transportation,
groundwater and surface water, wildlife
and habitat, cultural resources,
aesthetics, land uses, health and safety,
and threatened, endangered, or specialstatus species. The range of issues to be
addressed may be expanded based on
comments received during the scoping
process.
