There is a little more to
this. I took a look at the EAJ web page and found
this.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO 14 CCR 228
October 22, 2007 Though, we are not certain, we
expect that DFG will propose what they
did
before that is, to delete 14 CCR 228(b)(1), the
provision that allows
one to acquire a special
suction dredge permit.
EAJ’s OPINION AS TO AFFECT OF DFG’s
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO 14 CCR 228
October 22, 2207 Essentially, the affect of
DFG’s proposed amendment to 14 CCR 228 is
to
invalidate all un-patented mining claims in
waters of the State. Once all
un-patented
mining claims, in the State, are invalidated, no
one will be
allowed to use a suction dredge
except where it is permitted to do so and
then
only for recreation. The State will only allow one
to use a suction
dredge in a recreational area
designated for that purpose. Not only will
they
limit these areas to but a few places but they
will limit the time for
any person to do so,
continually, to one week.
CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS
October 22, 2007 Last time DFG attempted to
amend the suction dredge regulations, (May
1,
2007), they did so in secrecy. This time, to
prevent DFG from secretly
regulating, we are
informing the public that DFG is, again,
attempting to
amend the suction dredge
regulations.
