May 2012nevada643 269 times All Types Of Treasure Hunting Looks like Dave Mack has done it again. By publicly promoting his gravel transfer "loophole", he just shortened dramatically the time period before the loophole was
discovered. It doesn't make much difference in the big picture.
However this petition could be copied almost word for word to attack the Combie Reservoir Mercury project AND the new mercury remediation project at
Malakoff S.P. with our own petition.
Or alternatively, petition the same dept of fish and wildlife with the science surrounding selenium's mitigating effects on mercury. As well as reminding
the dept that U S Supreme Court has ruled "pollution (mercury in sediment) moved from one area of the waterway to another is perfectly legal".

Jonathan claims that Wal-Mart has failed to take measures to protect Joshua Tree National Park by building a supercenter in Yucca Valley. Jonathan says "The choices we make today will determine the future we leave to our grandchildren."In 2009, a suit was filed to seek protection of two rare butterfly species that were denied protection in 2007. Jonathan believes "It will take years to clean up the Bush administration's abysmal record on wildlife conservation."Jonathan is a true environmentalist. While an attorney by profession, it only helps his cause as environmentalist, naturalist, activist, protector of wildlife....and Joshua Tree National Park. less

Reply With Quote Yesterday, 12:50 AM#9Hefty1 Dec 2010700 103 times The Center for Biological Diversity believes that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature - to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law, and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters, and climate that species need to survive. The Center has six program areas: Biodiversity, Climate, International, Oceans, Public Lands, and Urban Wildlands. The Center looks forward to a future of continued expansion, creativity, and no-holds-barred action on behalf of the world's most critically endangered animals and plants.

Reply With Quote Yesterday, 01:03 AM#11Hefty1 Dec 2010700 103 times DOJ Documents Confirm Center for Biological Diversity Received Millions in Taxpayer Funds from ESA-Related Lawsuits
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 27, 2012 - The Center for Biological Diversity today sent a letter to House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings claiming their organization had only received $553,000 in taxpayer funds resulting from Endangered Species Act (ESA) related attorney fees and court cases. This claim conflicts with data obtained from the Department of Justice (DOJ), which shows over $2 million in taxpayer dollars have been paid out to the Center for Biological Diversity and their attorneys for cases open between 2009-2012. The Center for Biological Diversity appears to have derived their erroneous number by including only checks made out directly to the Center for Biological Diversity over a select period of years. Attorney fees are typically paid out to the attorney of record. The Center for Biological Diversity is conveniently failing to include the majority of funds that were paid directly to their hired lawyers. Nine of the lawyers who have received payouts are currently employed by the Center for Biological Diversity.
“American taxpayers have a right to know how much of their money is going to pay attorneys and settlement costs for lawsuit-happy organizations that make a living off of suing the federal government. The numbers from the Justice Department speak for themselves,” said Chairman Hastings. “One frequent collector of taxpayer dollars spent a week inventing a way to misconstrue and hide data to make it appear as though they haven’t received millions in taxpayer dollars. The most direct way to have openness and transparency on exactly what funds a group has taken from taxpayers in ESA-related settlement and attorney fees is for them to publicly reveal all of their data for the past two decades.”
On March 19, 2012, Chairman Hastings sent a letter to the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Justice asking for detailed information on how much taxpayer money is being spent on ESA-related litigation and settlements. In response to this request, DOJ ran a search through their Case Management System (“CMS”) and provided the Committee information based on all cases where the ESA was one of the statutes at issue in the litigation.
According to this document from the DOJ containing 276 pages of case information, the Center for Biological Diversity was involved in over 50 individual cases, open between 2009 and 2012, where they were the lead plaintiff. The amount of attorney fees and court costs associated with these cases is $2,286,686.91. Of this amount, $138,114.45 was in court costs and $2,148,572.46 was in attorney fees.
These five examples alone of court cases filed by the Center for Biological Diversity where CBD received attorney fee payments between 2009-2012 far exceeds the $553,00 that the Center for Biological Diversity claims to have received:
Center for Biological Diversity v. Environmental Protection Agency, et. al. in California; paid $172,000 on November 22, 2010 to attorney for CBD Justin Augustine.
Center for Biological Diversity et. al., v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Montana; paid $165,000 on March 23, 2009 to attorney for CBD Geoff Hickox.
Center for Biological Diversity et. al., v. Kempthorne in Arizona; paid $159,044 on February 9, 2012 to attorney for CBD Melanie Kay.
Center for Biological Diversity v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Arizona; paid $95,000 on April 23, 2010 to attorney for CBD Geoff Hickox.
Center for Biological Diversity et. al., v. Kempthorne in Arizona; paid $51,866 on August 13, 2009 to attorney for CBD John T. Buse.

They think they know nature but they know nothing. The one's who truely know nature are the hunters and trappers. Fisherman and miners. the loggers and farmers and ranchers. The people who actually use nature are the ones who know it and understand it. You have to live it. You can't get it from books.Oakview2, Hefty1 and rodoconnor like this.

Reply With Quote Today, 10:39 AM#20Fullpan May 2012nevada643 269 times All Types Of Treasure Hunting Although I have never met minerick, I've tried to help out from my computer doing some research, etc. I watched him go from a simple dredger/clainowner
to a self-informed, tireless worker-traveler for the cause. Contrary to most advocates, he spends virtually no time asking for donations, but relies on the few
dollars from bumper-sticker sales, etc. His patience sometimes wears thin (imagine explaining who the Sierra Fund is 100 times a month!) and I'm sure he's
asked "why me"? "how did I end up in Wash. D.C. instead of my remote mining claim". After nearly 2 years most advocacy groups would have an office
staff to make sure the day-to-day ops ran smoothly - rick has a couple friends who are fellow dredgers. Hope I didn't embarrass you Rick, rock on.
