The bill was strongly supported by Friends of the River, the Karuk Indian Tribe, and others. State Fish and Game wardens are immediately authorized to cite anyone illegally operating a suction dredge. [/size][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Hundreds of letters from FOR supporters made the passage and signage of this bill possible. You can still help, If you see someone operating a dredge mining rig call 1 888 DFG-CALTIP (888 334-2258).[/size][/font][/#008000][/b] [signature]
