Suction Dredging OPEN for business in Siskyou County.
This is from Dave McCracken who is one of the primary people fighting and funding the litigation for small miners over suction dredging in CA.
We need to give Dave credit for getting (in writing no less) the Siskyou County D.A. to openly state dredging is open now in that county. We plan to take this good news to the counties in the South Mother Lode immediately.
This is great news and just think if we can get the other Sheriff's on board, the economy of these counties will once again flourish with the influx of small miners supporting the small businesses ravaged by the moratorium........which has never been about fish.
From Dave McCracken:
We have just come into written correspondence from the District
Attorney of Siskiyou County which is rejecting to prosecute
suction dredgers without a permit as a result of the recent
Third Appellate published Decision. This should go a long way
towards prompting California to establish a reasonable set of
regulations and permitting system in time for our 2015 season.
Watch for more on this in our November newsletter.
