I've also read a lot about modern Native American reservations...some of them have no problem taking toxic waste and storing it...don't know if they are still inclined to do that today or not. Probably anything for $.

Mostly, I'm worried about the water quality in the area around the casinos, especially if they are close to any of the rivers.

Urban vs. Rural is a big "problem". There are many environmental activists in the cities, but the problem is, it's not in their back yard. Many of those people are willing to sacrifice environmental quality for economic growth, as long as they can go visit the Catskills and be able to gamble in the same trip!
