This is a message from the State Water Resources Control Board.Hello All:

State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) staff has posted a Public Notice for four upcoming workshops to solicit input from stakeholders and California Native American Tribal interests on how to regulate suction dredge mining at: State Water Resources Control Board.
The workshop Agenda and Frequently Asked Questions are also posted at this link.

Staff of the State Water Board and California Department of Fish and Wildlife will be conducting these workshops in accordance with the requirements of Senate Bill 637 which became effective on January 1, 2016. The four workshops will be held in Fresno on January 17, 2017; San Bernardino on January 18, 2017; Redding on January 25, 2017; and Sacramento on February 6, 2017. Please refer to the Public Notice for the times and locations of these workshops.

After the public workshops, State Water Board staff will draft recommendations on how to appropriately regulate suction dredge mining for consideration by the State Water Board.

I started to wonder wazzup, as I just read a very similar post in the last day or two - almost thinking it was last night, even.

Threads like this have been removed before? Why??

Received an email from ICMJ that a supporter of ours is on the Trump transition team and
a meeting is being arranged with some miners and President elect Trump.
They are hopeful.

In time some dredging may eventually be allowed.

good start BUT weve got to follow through with comments that are precise and to the point for them to go forward with. verified facts work while opinions don't!

Not sure what you mean by this, but I know California and the shallow, bird brain liberals that
have control of the government here as well as anyone. If it is done correctly by restricting federal
funding there is a good chance some dredging up to 4" will eventually be allowed.

This is where I have spent my life as an attorney and CPA dealing with these characters and the
government here. They are soulless evil pigs that care about money and government jobs.
There is also a lot of sympathy here among the press and people for the gold mining history.

We'll see.

Been seeing for "9" bloody seasons gone gone gone. There is NO correctly when government operates open and notoriously illegally to steal a segregated groups rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Calif is one crooked ship from stem to stern and a few good real miners pulling miracles outta hats--example most recent Mr. Keith Walker in the court in SB on the 14th as PROFESSIONAL miners who pay taxes, feed families and live off their gold have been stayed for over 5 1/2 years whilst the pay to play screwed it ALL up mining miners. You got your take and I got mine ...so be it...lotza luck... John

Two things really stick out to me... "Indian Tribal Leaders, and Stakeholders" Who are the stakeholders? There was another instance where our "voice" wasn't heard during certain precedings because we weren't a representative body at the time... We technically still arent as there are no mining districts... Sounds like it will be the State Water Board, Tribal Interests and probably lobbyists and whackos like Sierra Fund... Idk.. Stakeholders, hope they'll actually LISTEN to claim owners this time......

 

[russau]

Stakeholders are whom ever is involved using this land. I.E. Indians , Miners ,claim owners , Farmers , Ranchers , Loggers , recreational types :Boaters (if applicable) hikers E . T . C .
