Subject: Suction Dredge meetings for the new regulations
The following link has a list of the public meetings and where they are being held for the Ca. DFG Draft Environmental Impact Report. All miners and suction dredge operators should attend these meetings even if you do not testify.
Support from the minng community is very important and shows support for our right to suction dredge and mine. If you are affected in anyway from the proposed regulations you should testify as to what that affect is.
It is very hard to change the DFG's mind on what they want to do and direct them on what they should do if they are not aware of the problems the new regulations will create. Please, if at all possible make one or more of these meetings for your own benefit and the benefit of all concerned.
