Application for Gorge Casino Needs Revisions
A casino proposal in the Columbia River Gorge may be facing a roadblock with a letter requiring revisions in their planning from the federal government.
The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs proposal "requires further refinement, and that at least one additional alternative should be identified for analysis in the environmental impact statement" said James Cason, associate deputy secretary of the Interior Department.
The letter dated June 23 was delivered to the Northwest regional office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which in turn received it July 11. A copy of the letter was posted on the website of the Friends of the Columbia Gorge, a group that is in opposition of the casino proposal. The casino would have been the first in Oregon that is located in an off-reservation land.
Gov. Ted Kulongoski is in support of the Warms Springs casino. The issue has been the target of a political battle between tribes and various opponents. Kulongski has not been available yet to comment on the matter.
The letter sent to the Bureau of Indian Affairs said that revisions must be made for a "scooping report", which the Interior Department outlines on one of its websites as a process of public involvement to identify problems and issues and to seek advice from government agencies and technical experts.
