G'day, EPA settles with Idaho gold miner for Clean Water Act discharge violationSince then, the US Forest Service completed an environmental assessment to evaluate dredging impacts on the river. As a result of that evaluation, a controlled number of NPDES general permit holders may now access the South Fork of the Clearwater for dredging. Miners wishing to operate their dredges in the South Fork of the Clearwater must first submit a “plan of operations” to the U.S. Forest Service prior to the dredge season. www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-settles-idaho-gold-miner-clean-water-act-discharge-violationRegards, Rob (RKC)
