FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On
November 29, 2016, the BIA published
a Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS in
connection with the Tribe’s application
requesting that the United States acquire
approximately 232 acres of land in trust
in Shasta County, California, for the
construction and operation of a casino
resort. The proposed fee-to-trust
property is located in an unincorporated
part of Shasta County, California,
approximately 1.6 miles northeast of the
existing Redding Rancheria, and
approximately two miles southeast from
the downtown of the City of Redding.
The proposed trust property includes
seven parcels, bound by Bechelli Lane
on the north, private properties to the
south, the Sacramento River on the
west, and Interstate 5 on the east. The
Tribe is proposing to construct a casino
resort that includes a casino, hotel,
event/convention center, outdoor
amphitheater, retail center, and
associated parking/infrastructure. The
new facility would replace the Tribe’s

existing casino, and the Tribe would
convert the existing casino buildings to
a different Tribal use.
On April 10, 2019, the BIA published
a Notice of Availability in the Federal
Register (84 FR 14391) for the Draft EIS
for the Proposed Redding Rancheria
Fee-to-Trust and Casino Project, Shasta
County, California. On June 6, 2019, the
BIA published a notice in the Federal
Register (84 FR 26440) to extend the
comment period for the Draft EIS to
June 17, 2019.
By letter dated February 21, 2020, the
Tribe notified the Department of the
Interior (Department) that it would
await a decision from the California
Supreme Court in a case arising under
State law and involving the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act, 25 U.S.C. 2719
et. seq., before the Tribe decided how to
proceed on its application. Therefore,
the Department is suspending its review
of the Tribe’s application and
preparation of the EIS. Since the Tribe’s
request involves action by the California
Supreme Court, the Department does
not have a definite time frame for how
long the suspension will last; however,
the Department will provide notice
when it resumes the environmental
review process.
