I'm about to purchase a 3" (6hp) highbanker/dredge .
I could really use a printable reference that describes the dredging laws here in Colorado. I don't want to take this thing where it is illegal to dredge and I'd also like to be able to prove (to BLM of Sherriff) that I'm not in violation while on-site and dredging. Please help if you can. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Dan, the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers also have permits. I don't recall any details on them, best person to ask is Bruce Fowler at the Grand Junction BLM. Mention my name and he might tell you of the days I was a teenager trying to get rich off of panning the Colorado and Gunnison!
