Discussions for the Suction Dredge Report, Biased OSU Study Options

[Redpaw]

If you read the report and can see where certain issues are reported as lacking in Data or actual basis in Fact and yet are clearly blamed on Miners while discounting all other Recreational Activities speak up....

A tent is that little Ziplock Bag that a Bear will come over and open in the middle of the night right after the bear goes through the Ice Chest.

Those documents could easily be dreafted for almost any activity by a group that is bent upon upholding the stereotype of Middle Ages Miners...

I could easily write a similar report about Drift Boats that drag anchor, River Rafters that stomp through the beds and create vortexes under their raft when loading and unloading, General Camping Public that discharge firearms and build dams to make swimming ponds, Fishermen that stand in the river, Indians that use Nets ( very common up here ), and the list could easily go on...

The problem is....Rather than allow and accept each others activities as many multiple use people should....They are always trying to bad mouth the other guy when in some small way they are just as if not exactly a similiar contributing cause and effect.

I only posted the study so many here in these forums could see how the agencies have considered suction dredge mining as Minimal impact, and not worth standing over their shoulder.
