SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
The Tribe
has requested that the BIA take into
trust 228.04 acres of land, on which the
Tribe proposes to construct a casino,
hotel, parking areas and other facilities.
The proposed project is located partially
within the City of Plymouth and
partially within unincorporated Amador
County, just off State Route 49.
The proposed project includes the
development of a 120,000 square-foot
gaming facility, a 166,500 square-foot
hotel and a 30,000 square-foot event/
conference center on the 228.04-acre
site. The gaming facility would include
a casino floor, food and beverage areas
(consisting of a buffet, specialty
restaurant, bar, and coffee bar), meeting
space, guest support services, offices,
and security area. The five-story hotel
facility would have 250 guest rooms and
the event/conference center would have
seating for 1,200 people. Access to the
casino would be provided from State
Route 49.
Project alternatives considered in the
FEIS include: (A) Proposed project; (B)
a reduced casino with hotel alternative;
(C) a reduced casino alternative; (D) a
retail development alternative; and (E)
no action. Alternative A has been
selected as the Preferred Alternative, as
discussed in the FEIS. The alternatives
are intended to assist the review of the
issues presented, but the Preferred
Alternative does not necessarily reflect
what the final decision will be, because
a complete evaluation of the criteria
listed in 25 CFR part 151 may lead to
a final decision that selects an
alternative other than the Preferred
Alternative, including no action, or that
selects a variant of the Preferred or
another of the alternatives analyzed in
the FEIS.
Environmental issues addressed in
the FEIS include land resources, water
resources, air quality, biological
resources, cultural and paleontological
resources, socioeconomic conditions,
environmental justice, transportation
and circulation, land use, public
services, noise, hazardous materials,
visual resources, cumulative effects,
indirect effects, and mitigation
measures.
The BIA has afforded other
government agencies and the public
extensive opportunity to participate in
the preparation of this EIS. The BIA
published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to
prepare the EIS for the proposed action
in the Federal Register on November 7,
2003 (67 FR 63127). The BIA held a
public scoping meeting on November
19, 2003 at the Amador County
Fairgrounds in Plymouth. On January
20, 2004, the BIA published a
supplemental NOI in the Federal
