So I'm from Oregon and your required to have this stupid DSL permit from the Department of State Lands to dredge. You don't have to pay for it or anything, you just have to have it when operating in an Essential Salmon Habitat. I applied in January and got it yesterday, 3 weeks before dredging season starts. My phone number, address, and email address were correct. Wasn't my name or even close to my name and was in the wrong river and I'm pretty sure it reflects an area of that river that you can't even mine in.

Guess who my first call is going to be to on Tuesday morning.......

you got a permit
 

Well if that part of the river is indeed open and not closed, check it out, it might be a sign. :)
 

lol, either way i need to call them and get it corrected
 

It was probably done on purpose so you will have to spend the whole season trying to fix it.
 

Called the lady today, after explaining it to her she realized the mistake and said she would send it out today. We'll see how it goes. I put on my most charming Brad Pitt I'm here to marry you voice.......hoping it got results
 

I've additionally found out the messed up numerous other DSL permits, basically peoples information along with someone else's name and river section.
 

Good luck with getting your permit. Hope you have a great season!

Maybe there using the same people who did Cover-Up Oregon...

Ty, this will be my first real season in 15 years since I just moved back to the area. Seems like a lot more hoops to jump through just to do something the government said i could 150 years ago.
 

Government success.........correct permit arrived today in the mail, checked it over and it is correct. Not bad, 5 months to get it the first time, 4 days for the corrected one.
 

Dang, 4 days is crazy for the Government, that is if they aren't making/taking money.

Save that tone in your voice. 5 months to screw it up and THEN...4 days to fix it? Priceless!
