The Gun Lake Casino Environmental Assessment (EA), prepared by AES, has been found by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to meet all the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Claims by Michigan Gambling Opposition that the EA was deficient and that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) should be prepared have been dismissed by the court. All other legal claims by MichGO have also been dismissed. The Gun Lake EA is the third consecutive NEPA document prepared by AES and AES principals that has been upheld by Federal courts.
