subject; Comments on Small-Scale Suction Dredging Project


Not really something new for the area, they will be approving POO's but the numbers are smaller than what they should be,
as far as salmon this is only set as migration, I lost the page for the SF clearwater that I was on but
here is the one for Moose and Lolo Creek (bottom of this page) that only took 15 years to complete

The SF Clearwater river has traditionally been open under the IDWR Recreational Suction Dredge Permit.

nThis is the typicall liberal incremental playbook, of first limiting the number of dredges or permits, en route to a moratorium and eventually a ban. Just like Oregon. The FS charge is to manage surface resources, my understanding of the Mineral Estate Grant, is that it covers the exploration of collection of sub surface resources. The courts have determined that incendental fallback does not constitute a discharge so no NPDES or 401 is required. And last but not least, the Forrest Circus constantly think there regs trump the laws passed by the Congress. They tried to threaten claimholders off of this wateway with the EPA, now it is the FS chance.
