I just find that whole statement redundant.
Having MERCURY and SAFE in the same sentence. lol
NOT laughing at you Goldwasher,, not at all
Hit
Did you read the article and search for related content? You for sure can use the words "SAFE" and "MERCURY" in the same sentence.
For that matter you could add the words " recover" "retort" ....heck even " reuse" and throw the word " safe" in and mean it.
Problem is you mention those words and the implied after actions. You don't even go anywhere near a river and some KNOWNOTHINGATALL.... is going to tell you of all your potential harms..... and now even the old timers will chime in and break your balls over it. And I don't even use the stuff I only deal with removing it from waterways and then from my gold...... If I did decide to use it for recovery you bet your butt it wouldn't enter the environment.
I posted this link because it wasn't here already. I LOVE TO FISH I have always appreciated how clean and beautiful the rivers in California are. I have been all over this country and I tell you that the rivers I wouldn't let my bare toes even touch let alone wet a line are not in Cali. and the most polluted rivers in this country have never even had a gold dredge in them.
I'm not that old but, I never read anything online about dredging, mining prospecting,or pollution online until 2008 or '09 I never owned a computer or had internet.
All my info was from the printed word. Then the year I joined the matrix is the year of the ban and wow...the crap I read online...anti dredging from the fishermen...anti- fishing from the dredgers...anti-indian from the locals....anti-miner from the miners.....
The whole time I knew the rivers were clean that dredging had no more impact then any other user...and way less than nature. Fish taste good...I like to search out both gold and fish at rivers....This stuff mattered to me.
Its nice to see the facts out in the open.
Interesting to contrast this newer article with the older mercury angler survey. The one done in the Sierra lakes.
With its concerns of the fishermen being uneducated of the dangers they face eating fish they caught in Gold Country waters.
They had recommendations to put up signs warning people. Conduct more surveys....people need to KNOW!!!!!!
Oh, wait everything is ok and even the water board says so.....Whew!!!!!
Wheres the eyes rolling Emogi?
