    ARIZONA MINING LAWS (UPDATE)

    This is a letter I recieved in response to my letter to the Senator;

    March 8,2007

    Dear Mr. Perreault :



    Thank you for writing to me about mining on federal lands. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on the issue.



    I strongly feel that the 1872 General Mining Act is outdated and needs to be reformed in order to better reflect our modern society's values with regard to protection of our public lands. I intend to work with Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick J. Rahall, Jr. on reforming the Act during the 110 th Congress.



    With regard to what you heard about the possible banning of treasure trove hunting and other small-scale activities such as rockhounding , nothing could be further from the truth. I can assure you that activities with negligible impacts on the public lands, such as those not requiring earth-moving equipment, construction of roads, or the use of toxic or hazardous materials, will not be affected by our effort to reform the Mining Act.



    Thank you again for communicating with me. I hope you will stay in touch on other matters of importance to you.





    Sincerely,

    Raul M. Grijalva

    Member of Congress
