I have a suggestion...take a long walk off a short plank.Im going to try and not post the same things over and over again in reply to the same lame comments. Ignoring the law is not going to change anything except to make recreational prospectors/miners look like criminals.
Im going to try and make suggestions such as writting to our representatives asking to change the law. Maybe put limits such as miners processing less than xx yards are exempt.
Anyone... Suggestions?
After reading thru this agine.......I believe.....their are 2 types of miners that care about laws,,,,,the sheep that look at the laws and rules that are written by every agency without end and say, well I guess that amends the law of 1872,,now I cant dredge and you can't dredge either, read the law,,,,and then there are the miners that care enough about the freedoms and rights enshrined in the 1872 law and constitution to fight to keep them. IMHO people that fight to keep our rights like Brandon Reinhart and others are true american heros, fighting to preserve our rights, it takes time money and effort. All the folks that have gone to hearings, written letters, called reps. Ect. Are working to keep our children free.....I have a very different take on the law than you chrsbrns,,,but I do hope you invest this much time and effort trying to make a differance with lawmakers. I would hate to think you were a simple naysayers sheep......
Please take a minute and tell us of your actions regarding miners rights.
It really doesn't matter what the courts decide in the Rinehart and/or the new 49's case. Neither of them address the Federal Clean Water Act!
The BLM requires compliance with the Act.
As we speak Congress is about to vote to amend the Act. They want to expand from navigable waters to all waters including small streams, ponds and even dry washes.
Do you think that Cali and other states are going to ignore the power of the CWA?
