Document Description
The Nation proposes to construct a 60 feet wide by 100 feet long (6,000 square feet) by 23 feet high metal building immediately east of the existing structures in a previously disturbed area. The building will be dedicated for food processing and food storage and is an integral element of the Nation’s Food Sovereignty Project which is to gather, grow, harvest and store traditional and high quality food. They plan to grow fruits and vegetables on the land and possibly elsewhere which would ultimately be harvested, processed and stored for later distribution to tribal citizens. There is no commercial aspect to the project; only the employees of the Nation would utilize the building. In addition to crops grown by the Nation, the Nation also has agreements with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Highway Patrol and California Department of Transportation to salvage Elk that are killed as a result of traffic collisions. According to application materials, in a typical year there are four to six elk made available. The meat would also be processed and stored within the building.
