Final Environmental Impact Statement
for the Proposed Fee-to-Trust
Conveyance of Property and Casino
Project for the Stockbridge-Munsee
Community, Wisconsin in the Town of
Thompson, Sullivan County, New York
Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
This notice advises the public
that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
is making available for public review
the Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS) for the proposed
conveyance of 330 ± acres of land into
trust status and construction of a gaming
complex. The purpose of the proposed
action is to help meet the StockbridgeMunsee Community’s (Tribe’s) socioeconomic needs.
DATES: The Record of Decision (ROD) on
the proposed action will be issued on or
after March 3, 2014, providing a 30 day
waiting period after the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) issues their
Notice of Availability (NOA) of the FEIS
in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: You may mail, hand carry
or telefax written comments to Franklin
Keel, Regional Director, Eastern
Regional Office, Bureau of Indian
Affairs, 545 Marriott Drive, Suite 700,
Nashville, Tennessee 37214, Telefax

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of
this notice for directions for submitting
comments and locations where copies of
the FEIS are available.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Chester McGhee, (615) 564–6830.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tribe
has requested that the BIA take into
trust 330 acres of land on which the
Tribe proposes to construct a casino,
hotel, parking areas and other facilities.
As this request is for land that is off of
the Tribe’s reservation to be taken into
trust for gaming purposes, the Tribe has
submitted applications under both the
Indian Reorganization Act (25 U.S.C.

465 as implemented in 25 CFR part 151)
and the Indian Gaming Reorganization
Act (25 U.S.C. 2719 as implemented in
25 CFR part 292). The proposed project
is located in the Town of Thompson,
New York, just off State Route 17 (future
I–86).
The proposed project includes the
development of a 350,000 sf gaming
facility and a 750-room hotel. The
gaming facility would include a casino
floor, food and beverage areas
(consisting of a buffet, specialty
restaurant, bar and coffee bar type
facilities), meeting space, guest support
services, offices and security area. A
multipurpose/event center would cater
to 2,700 visitors. Access to the casino
would be provided from State Route 17
to County Highway 161. The FEIS
considers a range of project alternatives,
including: (1) Preferred casino-hotel
complex; (2) reduced casino size; (3)
alternative financial ventures; (4)
different site locations; (5) different site
plans and (5) no action.
The preferred casino-hotel complex
alternative has been selected as the
Tribe’s Preferred Alternative as
discussed in the FEIS. The information
and analysis contained in the FEIS, as
well as its evaluation and assessment of
the Tribe’s Preferred Alternative, are
intended to assist the Department of the
Interior (Department) in its review of the
issues presented in the Tribe’s
application. The Preferred Alternative
does not necessarily reflect the
Department’s final decision because the
Department must further evaluate all of
the criteria listed in 25 CFR part 151
and 25 CFR part 292. The Department’s
consideration and analysis of the
applicable regulations may lead to a
final decision that selects an alternative
other than the Preferred Alternative,
including no action, or a variant of the
Preferred Alternative or another one of
the alternatives analyzed in the FEIS.
Environmental issues addressed in
the FEIS include land and water
resources, air quality, biological
resources, cultural and paleontological
resources, socioeconomic conditions,
transportation and circulation, land use,
public services, noise, hazardous
materials, visual resources,
environmental justice, cumulative
effects, indirect effects and mitigation.
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 20,
2003 (68 FR 65467). The BIA held a
public scoping meeting on December 4,
2003. A Notice of Availability for the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
22:25 Jan 30, 2014
Jkt 232001
Draft EIS (DEIS) was published in the
Federal Register on February 11, 2005
(70 FR 7257). The DEIS was available
for public comment until March 28,
2005. The BIA held a public hearing on
the DEIS on March 10, 2005. An FEIS,
which contained updated analyses in
response to public comment, was
prepared and submitted to the BIA in
November 2006. That FEIS was not
released because the underlying land-totrust application was denied in January
2008. Despite a Notice of Cancellation
on March 6, 2008 (73 FR 12204), the
environmental review process remained
open and was reactivated when the
land-into-trust application was
reinstated by the BIA in August 2011.
That 2006 FEIS was updated based on
the passage of time, and the updated
FEIS document is now being released
for circulation to the public.
