The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has released a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for a proposed Hard Rock casino development in Kenosha.
The assessment reviews the potential environmental impacts of acquiring land in Kenosha to place into trust for the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. The tribe is seeking to develop the property into a casino-hotel offering class III gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
According to the draft assessment, construction and operation of the proposed project would result in impacts to air quality that are considered insignificant and would comply with applicable federal and state standards.
The report also states that the project is designed to avoid impact to wetlands and other protected aquatic resources.
