The MOU between the applicant and Yuba County, as well as requirements contained in the EIS will mitigate identified impacts so that the placement of the 40 acres into trust and development of the casino will not have a detrimental impact on Yuba County. However, if agreed upon mitigation measures identified in the MOU or in the EIS are not implemented locating a gaming establishment on newly acquired land will have a detrimental impact on Yuba County.

The current leadership of the Enterprise Tribe has des-enrolled long-standing members of the Enterprise Rancheria. It appears that the new leadership has usurped the tribal status of Rancheria No. 1, in order to assert development of a casino outside of aboriginal territory in Yuba County. The current tribal government is seriously impacted by the Carcieri v. Salazar U. S. Supreme Court Ruling.

March 2009: Assembly Member Dan Logue

"Even more importantly, it was the understanding of the electorate in 2000 when Proposition 1A passed, that gaming was to remian on "Indian Lands" as implied on the ballot measure. The mood of the State Legislature has not been favorable to reservation shopping, and there are real questions as to whether a tribal state compact would be ratified in this case. "
