July Newsletter- Beware of Bootleggers!

July 2025
BEWARE OF BOOTLEGGERS !!
Hello Friends!

Public Lands for the People (PLP) warned that the Tucker Clements case proves the “…success of PLP’s guide cards, and it is not a reason to cut corners and just suction dredge mine and not do the reclamation.  Mining alone without cleaning the waterway is a good way to have the state pass another law kicking us out of the water.  So do your part.  Do it right and keep reclamation dredging RESPONSIBLY!.

Apparently, a relatively new PLP member who is also a member of the New 49ers was misusing our sample partnership agreement by altering it for mining purposes (directly in conflict with the PLP issued CA guide cards and the sample partnership agreement guidelines) and he shared this with Dave McCracken (Mack), of the New 49ers mining club.  Dave Mack amplified this misuse to his New 49er members through an online newsletter by displaying a bootleg version of PLP’s document, encouraging people to copy it, and come dredge mine on the New 49er claims.

Keep in mind, PLP had a disclaimer on our sample partnership agreement (not to be confused with the PLP membership), that says “Disclaimer: Please be advised that this sample is not intended for use for exclusively prospecting and mining purposes. It is also not intended for exclusive use by prospecting and mining clubs and associations. Individuals are encouraged to consult with a competent attorney.” The language and disclaimer on the sample partnership agreement on our CA dredge guide cards was there for a very good reason.  The “reclamation” term on our sample reclamation agreement means to remove that which was previously lost in the context of an old and often inefficient mining practice.  The reclamation term is also often used to clean up and remove toxins from the environment. PLP’s use of the term Suction Dredging for Reclamation purposes was not used for purposes of 5653.8 exemption of the CA Fish & Game code as Dave Mack believes, it is for compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA) policies, actions and exemptions.  He should know this because his attorney was directly involved in the litigation in Oregon that found that suction dredge MINING requires a 402-discharge permit from DEQ in OR (or the Water Quality Control Board in CA).

Thus far, Dave Mack of the New 49ers has refused to retract the bootleg sample partnership agreement by printing a retraction in a supplemental New 49er newsletter. Dave has modified this bootleg form twice at the time of this writing without consultation with his attorney.  We know this because we asked his attorney about his involvement.  Dave Mack misused the PLP sample partnership agreement where it was never intended by PLP or CA State legislative intent.

PLP’s President, through numerous warnings via email has told Dave Mack not to do this because it will get miners in deep trouble and will hurt PLP’s ongoing 5-year successful effort to get them back in the water legally, while at the same time PLP is seeking a more permanent federal legislative solution.  PLP has even offered Dave Mack an administrative solution using our contacts in the Trump administration to force the hand of the State at a club level which could be a wonderful thing — It would not require mass letter writing campaigns by the small mining clubs.  Quite frankly, Dave Mack is playing with fire, and he never should have rolled this out without talking to PLP and a competent attorney first.  This misuse of the PLP partnership agreement for mining purposes could very well motivate the state to repeal the 5653.8 exemption and put another nail in the dredge miner’s coffin.  Dave Mack is also knowingly, or unknowingly, exposing his membership to the $51,000 per day fines the Clean Water Act has placed on mining operators.  To make matters worse, the CA State Water Board are not the only code enforcers.  The Clean Water Act is also enforced by the citizen suit provision whereby any private environmental law firm (private attorney general) can act to sue the New 49ers, Dave Mack, or his members personally.  If you don’t believe PLP, just ask Shannon Poe of AMRA.  See ICL v. Poe (citation 86 F.4th 1243).  AMRA and AMRA’s membership are paying Shannon Poe’s $150,000 court ordered fine when the Idaho Conservation League (ICL) sued him in Idaho federal court a few years ago for protesting the required discharge permits for recreational dredge mining operators.  Shannon failed to heed PLP’s warnings, went ahead with his protest, and it blew up in his face (he failed to properly argue the PLP no addition argument), and set a horrible precedent against dredge mining.  Poe’s case went to the 9th circuit and set the 2nd precedent after the Oregon DEQ case that suction dredging for mining purposes requires an NPDES wastewater discharge permit.  Failure to do so may result in the MINING dredge operators facing $51,000 daily fines.  Recreational dredge mining caselaw (court decisions in the 9th circuit), decisions found that mining dredge operators are required to obtain the 402 NPDES discharge permit, while reclamation and restoration dredging can be exempt from the 402 permits when certain criteria are met – and PLP’s researchers know these criteria.  So, if you do not wish to be sued by environmentalist lawyers looking for deep pockets – don’t follow Dave Mack’s version of a partnership agreement and don’t be an easy target like Shannon Poe was to ICL.

Background

There are some on social media that say it’s not fair to have to join PLP (for a measly $75 dollars to support the cause and pay for our legal research work) to learn how to suction dredge without the need for a State permit and the NPDES discharge permit and they claim reclamation is not part of the U.S. Mining Law.

PLP has expended and continues to expend money on research into the Clean Water Act and other laws negatively impacting the miner’s ability to exercise his/her rights to own minerals upon public and private lands.  The state dredging laws, and its policies are rather complex and convoluted.  Because of the complexity of the Clean Water Act and the State laws, some people that do not do a deep dive and thoroughly understand them eventually get burned.  PLP is trying to keep the dredging community from getting needlessly burned if they follow our carefully crafted guidance so they may avoid severe financial harm. This expense has to be passed on to the users of our non-profit.  PLP’s board is not made up of the likes of Bill Gates and his wealthy friends and we have not received grants so we can just give away our research results.  So, for the cost of one nice dine out meal for the average couple, that is what PLP charges for a one year’s membership – it is cheap considering the cutting-edge research work that has been produced and the legal wins in court that are more successful than all other mining associations combined.  Unlike all the others, PLP has proven not once but twice in court cases that we can win water pollution cases such as in Godfrey and Osterbrink and it’s not by accident – it was by hard research and knowing the court rules of evidence.  We can only help dredgers if they follow our directions and do not alter our document templates.  Thank you for that respect.
Accomplishments | Public Lands For The People

Some people think they are all knowing about the Mining law, and that PLP is wrong to promote reclamation; thinking reclamation is not part of the mining law.  We say hogwash! The 1970 U.S. Mineral Policy Act (30 U.S.C. section 21(a) specifically states it is the U.S. mineral policy to promote mining and reclamation industries (see quote below) and because reclamation is considered an improvement of labor to the land and the unpatented mining claim, it qualifies as assessment work under 30 U.S.C section 28 of the 1872 Mining Law. “The Congress declares that it is the continuing policy of the Federal Government in the national interest to foster and encourage private enterprise in (1) the development of economically sound and stable domestic mining, minerals, metal and mineral reclamation industries, (2) the orderly and economic development of domestic mineral resources, reserves, and reclamation of metals and minerals to help assure satisfaction of industrial, security and environmental needs…”

Legislative Push update in D.C.

PLP legal researchers, Jann Higdem and Clark Pearson are still working with Congressman Fulcher’s legislative staff, Senator Risch & Crapo’s legislative staff and they are expanding to two new senators in another western state, while seeking more potential sponsors for our small miner relief bill and critical minerals push.  Unfortunately, AEMA is not on board with us and is working in another direction on Forest Service mineral regulatory changes – not at the Congressional level like PLP is doing to provide a more permanent solution that codifies the Trump administration agenda and the Trump minerals/mining related executive orders to streamline and cut over-regulation.  Every trip to the White House, Pearson has given his progress report to President Trump’s resource / energy advisors on PLP’s proposed legislation consistent with the President’s wishes for the domestic mining industry.  Pearson’s last update along with Higdem was just this last April 2025.

PLP has raised over $10,000 towards our $10,000 goal to fund our trips this year to D.C., PLP greatly appreciates your support! We plan to make a second trip soon to help move it along, please dig deep to help us cross the finish line for the mining community!

RECLAMATION DREDGING IS STILL THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN RIVERS AND IMPROVE FISH HABITAT

Welcome to our Summer edition…

We’ve heard many success stories of Reclamation Dredging and how much trash is being removed from the waterways in the western states. This is a very positive outcome for everyone who uses the creeks and rivers, especially the fish and wildlife who live there! Let’s give 3 cheers to reclamation dredgers! Please send photos of materials you’ve removed that don’t belong along America’s waterways. We’re thinking of making a collage of things PLP members have removed from waterways and riparian habitat that don’t belong there. Things like discarded camping gear, cans, bottles, plastic trash of every description, lead, mercury and other heavy metals. Let’s show the world that PLP Members clean it up and get it out! Send photos (no names or locations needed) to info@publiclandsforthepeople.org

The 2025 Grand Raffle Prizes are piling up!!

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO Kris Jones for working so hard making PLP memes for the raffle and other social media help. We’re not all up to speed with new-fangled algorithms and such, but Kris has taken on the project to help in this area, promoting the Grand Raffle and PLP in General. Several others have stepped up and are sharing PLP content, helping to get the word out and sell raffle tickets. Miner Ma and Christa Latasa have been blowing up the internet with PLP stuff — Thank you ladies, you rock! And thank you’s are in order to folks like Judy Lepper, Greg Herring, Thomas Heflin who have taken a stack of tickets to sell during their travels.

Many thanks to Don Starr and Kris Jones for talking to business folks and others who support PLP, securing more raffle prizes to include in the 2025 Grand Raffle. We’ve now got a Riverdance gold jig!  It’s a unique black sand clean-up tool that gets that fine gold.

We also have new prizes from our friends in Downieville! The Carraige House Inn, Cold Rush Café and the Riverside Mountain Lodge have donated generous coupons (Like $300 off your stay!).  I had the best chocolate shake of my life after last year’s Downieville Gold Rush Days at the Cold Rush Cafe! Looking forward to the 2026 Downieville Gold Rush Days.

Reclamation Suction Dredger Wins in Siskiyou County, California Court
Hello Friends!

Public Lands for the People (PLP) is pleased to report that PLP member and reclamation suction dredger Tucker Clements has won his case against the CA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife in the form of a court signed dismissal dated April 17th, 2025.
To see it click here:      Tucker-Clements-Dredge-Case-2025.pdf

Tucker’s case started in the middle of Summer 2024, when Tucker was performing suction dredge reclamation on the Salmon River in Northern California.  As a member of PLP, Tucker was following the PLP guide card instructing him and his partner how to clean the waterway without the need for any state of California permit.  After dredging for over a month Tucker had a confrontation with a local uninformed environmental terrorist that called out a Fish & Wildlife warden.  While Tucker discussed matters with the warden on the river, the activist at the same time unlawfully exacted physical damage to Tucker’s vehicle by busting out all his windows – then later tried to run Tucker off the highway and telling him to leave the area.  After the dust settled the activist had a police record (issued for an investigation on his violence) and Tucker had a ticket from the warden for dredging within 300’ of a California waterway in violation of alleged CA Fish & Game section 5653(d).

We note here that the Department of Fish & Wildlife has previously obtained many convictions over the last decade on this very 5653(d) charge against suction dredge miners until now.

Tucker contacted PLP and explained the situation.  PLP’s legal researcher explained that he will need to file a motion to dismiss after his arraignment using 2 of the documents referenced in the PLP guide card.  At the arraignment, Tucker asked the court when he could file for dismissal of the charges.  Then using the documents from the PLP guide card Tucker submitted this evidence of his compliance to the court and the District Attorney (DA).  The DA, realizing Tucker had in fact complied with the law, motioned the court to sign the dismissal of the case.  PLP has learned the Dept. of Fish & Wildlife was still pushing on the DA to prosecute even after the DA previously told the Dept. that in light of the Sierra County Superior court case in 2019 in the People of California v. Osterbrink (another PLP court win), that the department does not have a case against these dredgers.  The DA looked at the law and found that the defendant was innocent and so did the Superior court judge.  Due to this new precedent set by Tucker Clements case, PLP believes the CA Department of Fish & Wildlife no longer has standing to cite PLP members following our dredge guide card instructions for alleged violations of any sections of 5653.

PLP urges its members to contact the county DA’s office where they are dredging at the first sign that a warden threatens citation.  The county DA has the power to tell wardens to stand down based on case law if the Sacramento office of Fish & Wildlife does not.

Looking forward, Tucker has asked the warden for the return of his dredge motor.  If it is returned promptly and undamaged, then Tucker will forgo a small claims damage lawsuit against the warden.  Tucker and his partner believe, and PLP agrees, that a small claims civil suit against the warder may be in order.  The reason?  Number 1: It is our belief that wardens need to be trained on the exemptions within the Fish & Wildlife dredging regulations. Number 2: The wardens should read the paperwork of the reclamation dredger and his log sheet. And number 3: the wardens should be more respectful of those earning a living and not be so quick to dismiss legal paperwork proving the person’s compliance with the law.

PLP is very appreciative of Tucker’s professionalism, and while this case further proves the success of PLP’s guide cards, it is not a reason to cut corners and just suction dredge mine and not do the reclamation.  Mining alone without cleaning the waterway is a good way to have the state pass another law kicking us out of the water.  So do your part, do it right and keep reclamation dredging RESPONSIBLY!

Legislative Push Update in D.C.
PLP legal researchers, Jann Higdem and Clark Pearson spent the first week of April in Washington D.C. and held 65 separate meetings!  They met with Associate Deputy Secretary Karen Bud-Falen of the Dept of Interior, White House staff member Karalee Geis, Senate Energy and Natural Resource Committee (Mike Lee, R-UT, Chairman) Sam Crofts (policy director), Ken Klukowski (deputy general counsel), David Gardner (Public Lands professional staff), Rob MacGregor (Mining Subcommittee staff director), Representative Pete Stauber (Chairman of the Mining Subcommittee), Shawn Rusterholz (Public Lands legislative staffer) and Rory Burke (Chief of Staff for Rep. Lauren Boebert).  Pearson and Higdem distributed and solicited for sponsorship nearly all the majority members of the House and Senate Natural Resources Committee members, and nearly all the majority members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee.  Jann Higdem focused on Congressman Fulcher’s office as the lead editor and format legislative director and working with National Defense Authorization Act legislative format writers within Senator Crapo’s office.  Senator Risch’s (R-ID) staffer says that the Senator will most likely get on board with the added approval of the American Exploration and Mining Association’s (AEMA) endorsement of our proposed legislation.  Senator Lee’s office, as they have in the past, encouraged our proposed bill to be approved out of the resources committee for final formatting into the Armed Services committee for passage into law.  Higdem is following up with AEMA before getting back to her, Senator Risch, Crapo and Congressman Fulcher’s legislative staffers.

Pearson’s meeting with Associate Deputy Secretary Karen Bud-Falen of the Dept of the Interior pressed the need to cut the strings of prohibitive state regulations impeding miners, allowing miners to use existing roads without a Plan of Operation (PO) to access their claims, and strip the PO requirements of ACEC designations because Federal law does not require those regulatory actions.

Other items discussed:  The legality of Bidens’s use of the auto pen for Monuments like Chuckwalla, reopening access to critical minerals and various points of PLP’s list of solutions within our proposed critical minerals legislation.

PLP has raised over $8,000 towards our $10,000 goal to fund our trips to D.C., PLP greatly appreciates your support!

PLP has moved the 2025 Fallfest to a new location at LDMA in Duisenberg, California and will be held Oct. 9-12th, 2025.
