John Cross received a letter from the Environmental Protection Agency threatening the small-scale suction dredger with a minimum $37,500 fine. And, if Cross doesn’t comply by getting out of the water or obtaining a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit, the Region 10 EPA out of Seattle, Wash., threatened him with up to three years in jail as well as another $50,000 in fines.

 As the May 1 court date approaches, Public Lands for the People is getting pumped up in preparation for what could be the biggest legal battle for miners’ rights ever fought in California. The PLP has led the fight against the statewide ban on suction dredge mining since the moratorium was imposed in 2009. Several other mining and land rights groups have since joined the fray. Among them are the Western Mining Alliance and now the Pacific Legal Foundation.
