................I can see it now..........
"GET THE LEAD OUT" a non-profit organization supporting the use of floating lead removal equipment to retrieve the hazard lead and mercury that is causing great concern within the fishing industry. These threats are not being removed by anyone in the State at the moment. Equipment is immediately available through-out the state and a great many concerned people have already volunteered to help the effort in any way. And at no cost to the public. Just the need for a simple permit stands in the way. These small pieces of equipment can remove as much as 99 % of hazardous heavy metals while returning everything else right back into the waterway. Yes, it is possible that it may take a winter runoff to return the gravels back to it's natural state but the permit could easily exclude late fall and early spring usage. An eight month window would be a huge benefit for everyone concerned with the contaminacion of our streams, rivers and creeks. And we can all realize that removing most of the heavy metals is so much better than leaving it all in the waterways to poison not only us and our future generations but the fish and insects.The only thing standing in the way is to have our state congress pass a bill to immediately allow these non harmful lead scooters do there thing. Let's get the lead out and do it right now.

? If nothing else it would sure be an interesting web site. My dredge has already been made famous on bobferris' cascadia site. And the funny thing is the caption "mendoAu's dredge tearing up the waterway" and how appropriate to just add "retrieving large amounts of lead to help improve the streambed". Anything to get bob's blood pressure up and add bright red to his plump cheeks. One more site would be just fine with me. And perhaps a picture of the old typewriter I pulled out of the creek a couple years ago. Tractor fenders, etc. etc. etc......
