In October 2010, the National Indian Gaming Commission issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) authorizing the construction of the Project on land held in trust for the Tribe and located just west of the City of Rohnert Park (the “City”) between Wilfred and Business Park Drive (the “Reservation” or “Site”).
An Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) has been prepared to assess the environmental consequences of the National Indian Gaming Commission’s (“NIGC”) approval of a management contract between the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (“Tribe”) and SC Sonoma Management, LLC, and the development of the Graton Rancheria Resort and Casino Project (the “Project”) in Sonoma County, California.
