Minning Legislation from Salem will relate to Coos County...

From a Minning Watchdog...
HI, 
Many people think I speak and write only for the rights of miners and  dredgers. Please, please read the following and understand that I am trying to  fight for our RIGHTS and FREEDOMS that are ours, not just a privalige, but a  right. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, 2nd ammendment, etc. We all  need to stand together to stop this bill. I don't care if you don't live in  Oregon at this time, you might have lived here or you are hoping to live here.   Contact these congresspeople and tell them to vote NO on this bill. This bill  can and will affect hunting, fishing, camping, picking mushrooms, hiking, day  trips, etc. 

One thing to bring up over that way is that SB 401 will  impose a scenic easement down the Chetco that will extend for 1/4 of a mile on  both sides of the river. Oregon Department of State Lands will become
the  authority inside that 1/4 mile area and will regulate any activity that is not  conducive to the so-called "scenic value" of the river. An explanation is found  in the bill, which reads in part:

"'Scenic easement' (defined)  the right to control the use of related adjacent land, including  airspace above such land, for the purpose of protecting the scenic view  from waters within a scenic waterway; but such
control does not affect,  without the owner's consent, any regular use exercised prior to  the acquisition of the easement, and the landowner retains the right to uses of  the land not specifically restricted by the  easement."

People in Galice live under such an easement and let me  tell you, they are NOT happy. While it may sound
completely reasonable to some  people to live inside such easements, "regular use" constitutes what DSL says it  is and what is "publicly acceptable".

For example, with the declining  economy, more and more people are planting gardens, keeping chickens and  livestock, switching to wood heat. People who live inside of scenic easements  will find that DSL are not
going to be very receptive to land owners building  chicken houses, fencing land, building a toolshed, piling firewood, cutting down  brush to plant a garden, etc.

Much the same way, some people in Galice  have raised the ire of varying agencies for parking an old car or camp trailer  on their property. Some have had trouble performing work on their property,  especially when it involves digging up the property. (Septics, replacing water  pipes, etc.)

Under such scenic easements, what you get is varying  government agencies always imposing their will upon the property owner for the  simple fact that it erodes property rights.

Here over my way, the  easement will go right up the Rogue and right through Grants Pass, Rogue River  and Gold Hill. I can't actually see the river from my place, but I am within  that 1/4 mile.

Needless to say, SB 401 is a very serious  
bill.



OREGON's NEXT?
If you all don't join to fight then our  mining rights and heritage will be lost so please send letters and emails this 
is an all out war on mining in Oregon please;  BMOA and all of Oregons mining  community needs your help!!
This is time sensitive so don't wait to write  letters, I have included a letter I wrote on website
