With 5 permits at a cost of over $16,000 and filed plans,notices of exactly who,what,where and times for them to come ticket ya and ruin your life. Fines at $10,000+++ from the waterboard AND $50 a gallon for dirty water so a mini dredge will get ya a $10,000+ a minute in fines easily. Just more mindless drivel to trump up lawyers buddies client list-IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE----John http://www.dfg.ca.gov/suctiondredge/
read the truth now and link to waterboard permits / fines included for your reading pleasure.....

Let's keep an open mind about this. I am sure Dave Mac is making modifications to his dredge just as many others are. As long as there's gold out there people will find a way to recover it. Let's hope for a Happy New Year!

I have been working on this for about a year and am near being able to run again. Just waiting for warm water.

This ignorance is now being made illegal--never worked anyhow without violations except in a tiny crack into a HAHAHA rubbermaid 5 gallon bucket. THE FINES WILL OBLITERATE YOUR LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT. The CDFG is currently considering initiation of PROMULGATION(immediate closure), the enviro/karuk/fishermen coalition lawyers meet wednesday for new legislation introduction(3rd amendment took a week from inception through committee,both houses and Moonbeam signed) and before your done with this this waste of time and your $$$ will be gone anyhow.-John
