Lawsuit challenges SF East Bay Point Molate Casino
January 29, 2009
SAN FRANCISCO – A lawsuit to block construction of a huge Indian casino resort
at Richmond’s Point Molate was filed in Contra Costa County Superior Court this
week by two environmental groups.
The suit was filed by attorney Stephan Volker on behalf of the Citizens for
Eastshore State Park and the Sustainability, Parks, Recycling and Wildlife Legal
Defense Fund (SPRAWLDEF). It is filed against the City of Richmond, the City
Council, the U.S. Department of the Navy, the Guidiville Rancheria Band of Pomos,
who would own the land as a reservation, and the Rumsey Band of Wintuns, who own
Cache Creek Casino and will bankroll this $1.5 billion project.
Point Molate was a U.S. Navy refueling station on the east bay shoreline near
the foot of the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge. The City of Richmond bought it for
$1 under the federal Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1988. When the Navy
completes its cleanup of the site, the city will deed the land over to the
Guidiville Rancheria Band of Pomos.
The Guidiville Rancheria Band of Pomos have applied the Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) to grant the Point Molate land into federal trust as a reservation. That
would allow the tribe to proceed with their plans for two million square feet
casino resort complex which would include a luxury hotel, an upscale shopping
center, private cottages, condos for tribal members, and a biofueled ferry
service. The gaming facility would be in the restored Winehaven building, which
was once the largest winery in California.
