How might transferring federal forest land to tribal trust status affect current forest management practices and environmental oversight in this Washington region?
- 02
What are the implications of prohibiting gaming on this land compared to other tribal lands, and how does that restriction influence the tribe's economic development options?
- 03
Should the bill require cleanup of existing hazardous substances on the transferred land, or is disclosure without remediation an acceptable approach?
