Some of the "Court Cases" mentioned are playing on emotions at least in part.
Thanks for being willing to check it out.

I know they have been going to a lot of meetings since the new bill was tabled and alerted the legislature to the inaction after sb637.

Until its on paper I'll grit my teeth.

it was obvious the people at the swrcb were willing to work with us and were actually looking at real data. Then they pulled (voluntary move ..sure) the head of the program and I got pretty worried.

I am skeptical because of the wait so far. Per the bill they should have given us an answer already. So, if they have put in work and have a plan they should give us permitting by this summer.

But, next spring will work I guess.

It will be interesting to see how the other side scrambles because of this. it is absolutely not what Izzy and Allen were going for.

One thing is certain. If it wasn't for AMRA taking the lead on this and getting to the capitol and working with senators we wouldn't be hearing this news.

No other group was working on this in this way.

It comes as no surprise those touting they are there fighting to protect Your Rights e.g. 'We are protecting your right as public land users to preserve and maintain their rights as they pertain to the use of our public lands.' "...but under no circumstance will we ever compromise your rights.", are the ones working so hard to establish permits (some quite costly) converting your Right(s) to mere privilege.

Must be speaking to civil rights:
42 U.S. Code § 1981 - Equal rights under the law | US Law ...

...and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of every kind, and to no other.

You were right to be skeptical.

It's been two years since AMRA declared victory.

Now for the rest of the story...

I believe it is a go! But the permit is not cheap...….I can't recall the amount but it is going to deter anyone who is not getting really good gold values.

Look closer..they will issue permits at a cost...and subject to tribe approval...and only in specific limited areas with no known historical gold mining.

On the maps below...the areas not shaded will be open subject to the permit conditions.

It will be interesting to see "their" reason for ANY delay on this "permitting issue " from the powers to be !

I have to agree with you on this one. I know here in Arizona dredging, in the few places we can, is subject to the Army Corp of Engineers discretion. And they consider anything 4" or under inconsequential. Hardrock here is more profitable anyhow so......

They really know how to make money by licensing what was "free" before... hence you are going to get Californicated.
