Canadian Owned Company-Earthworks, Inc.-to build a TOXIC MEGA-LANDFILL- on  Cortina Indian Rancheria!!!

A Non-Indian Corporation plans to profit by leasing Indian Lands which will enable them to bypass state and local land use regulations, enforcement and monitoring. 

This project prides itself in becoming a  "cookie cutter" for others, setting a dangerous precedent for similiar projects on California Indian Lands which are held in trust by the BIA.
