This bill transfers approximately 72 acres of land in Washington state from the U.S. Forest Service to the Department of the Interior, where it will be held in trust for the Quinault Indian Nation. The transferred land, known as Allotment 1157, will become part of the Quinault Indian Reservation and will be administered under standard federal trust land regulations. The bill explicitly prohibits gaming activities on the land under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and preserves the Quinault Nation's existing treaty rights under the Treaty of Olympia. The bill also requires the federal government to disclose any hazardous materials on the property but does not obligate the government to clean up contamination before the transfer occurs.
