SB637 put it in the hands of the SWRCB. To "decide" what will happen with the permitting process.
So, say they let us know that no permit is required or create the program whatever happens.
What would happen with Brandons case? Do they retroactively deal with something like that. I know they let people out of jail when punishments and laws change?
I don't see it as a separate case anymore if the water board gives the go ahead say while Brandon is waiting then what?
I realize that if the waterboard says no permit required or a program where you don't have to jump through so many hoops like they allege right now,
The sierra fund and Izzy are gonna lose it and run another angle.
As this isn't about CWA or Porter Colgne. It has been proven already that Dredging and small scale mining don't reach the required threshold for the permits they say you "may " need.
That is why when the moratorium went in place they changed definitions through the process, each time after a committee before the next hearing. ( several of us here were there, several times) So, they could try and get the non motorized noodle to stick to the wall, as this was about dredging remember....and now you got people on forums saying that they can't even use a hand dredge or shop vac, because their neighbors cousin, saw a ranger cleaning a bathroom, so yea no highbanking.
Joe bring me some letters I'll get people at the shop to sign. I ran out of ink two days ago printing warning signs....Highgraded again!!! By someone I know AGAIN!!!!
Lots of pic and video this time hoping a deputy will be by today.
Come get your saw and other widgets and bring me some form letters.
