The Bureau of Indian Affairs won't require the North Fork Rancheria of
Mono Indians of California to consider another casino site.
In one of his final actions as assistant secretary, Carl Artman asked the BIA's Pacific region to study another site for the proposed casino in Madera County. The move would have delayed consideration of the environmental impact statement of the $250 million project.
The Pacific region, however, has rejected Artman's directive. Acting regional director Amy Dutschke said the site wasn't viable -- it's not within the boundaries of the original rancheria and would require significant environmental remediation.
