This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to address the potential environmental effects of a proposed 305-acre fee-to-trust land acquisition in unincorporated Madera County, California for the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians (Tribe). The BIA is the federal agency that is charged with reviewing and approving Tribal applications pursuant to 25 CFR Part 151 to take land into federal trust status. The proposed action includes a trust acquisition for gaming purposes and the approval by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) of a gaming management contract between SC Madera Management LLC and the Tribe.
