Tribal-State Compact

Requirements

In accordance with Section 10.8 of the Gaming Compact

between the Tribe and the State of California, the Tribe

has an environmental ordinance that requires the

preparation of an environmental report to address the

off-Reservation impacts of gaming related projects.

An Environmental Evaluation (EE) is a tribal

environmental document prepared in accordance with

the Compact to address off-Reservation impacts - CEQA

does not apply to the Casino Relocation Project as it will

take place within existing tribal trust lands, and NEPA

does not apply because there is no federal discretionary

action.

EE Mitigation

Aesthetics – potential impacts from light and glare

Utilize screening features

Use non-reflective, tinted coating on glass to minimize

glare and nighttime illumination.

Exterior lighting shall be downcast and shielded.

Comply with the International Dark Sky Association (IDA)

recommendations to reduce glare, light trespass, and

nighttime sky lighting.

Minimize security lighting and utilize motion-sensitive

lighting as much as possible.

Utilize light bulbs that emit minimal blue light.

EE Mitigation

Air Quality/GHG – potential impacts from construction emissions:

Use Tier 3 construction equipment.

Minimize dust during construction.

Restrict vehicle and equipment idling.

Air Quality/GHG – potential impacts from operation and mobile source emissions:

Use clean fuel vehicles where practicable.

Use low-flow appliances, drought-tolerant landscaping, and “Save Water” signs near faucets.

Install energy-efficient lighting, appliances, and HVAC systems.

Promote recycling.

Plant trees and vegetation.

Enforce an anti-idling bus ordinance.

Implement an employee voluntary trip reduction program.

EE Mitigation

Water Resources – potential impacts to stormwater:

Obtain coverage under the NPDES General Permit and implement a SWPPP, including BMPs for erosion and sediment control

Design parking lots and driveways to direct stormwater into retention basins.

Incorporate bioswales and pervious surfaces to reduce stormwater run-off rates and filter pollutants.

Adjust landscape irrigation based on weather conditions.

Limit fertilizer use to the minimum amount necessary.

Water Resources – potential impacts to surface and groundwater:

Implement water conservation measures such as low flow faucets and showerheads, recycled water for toilets, voluntary towel re-use by guests, re-circulating cooling loop for refrigeration and ice machines, and use of recycled water for cooling.

EE Mitigation Traffic Impacts in combination with cumulative developments –

pay fair share towards the following improvements:

Intersections

North Fork Road / Friant Road – additional turn lanes and

configuration

Millerton Road / Winchell Cove-Marina Drive: signalize

Millerton Road / Brighton Crest Drive – signalize & add turn lanes

Millerton Road / Auberry Road – signalize

Friant Road / Willow Ave – signalize

Copper Ave / Willow Ave – signalize

Roadway Segments

Millerton Road from Friant to Brighton Crest – widen to 4-6 lanes

Millerton Road from Sky Harbour to Auberry Road – widen to 4 lanes

EE Mitigation

Traffic - potential impacts from special events:

Prepare a traffic control plan, consistent with County

guidelines, for special events to ensure minimal impacts to

traffic in the vicinity of the site.

Noise – potential impacts from construction noise:

Limit construction to the hours of 6:00 am and 9:00 pm

Monday through Friday, and the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00

pm on Saturday and Sunday, consistent with the Fresno

County Code.

Equipment and trucks shall utilize the best available noise

control techniques, ex: improved mufflers, intake

silencers, and shields.

Utilities and Service Systems - solid waste impacts:

Recycle at least 50 percent of solid waste.
