When looking at a land use map and trying to ascertain the legal areas to prospect some of the hot spots seem to be in "power withdrawn" areas set aside for water companies and PG&E. When those areas cross into national forest what does that mean? Can I still remove minerals? Does it mean I cannot stake a claim( I think it does), and can I still dredge there as long as I am in the waterway and not wandering over private property? Should I just go and prospect any way and not bother with claims or does the water company have some kind of oppressive eminint domain that would keep people from even using the water way?
Why does the water company have the privilege of putting up gates on these areas and locking them off? Should not the land be used by many groups?
Tired of hazy laws and padlocks.
