[QUOTE="Village, post: 47246, member: 1900"] Just on a historical side, do you guys realise that at the time legislation was drafted, the term dredge refer to a cutter dredge, suction dredges were not invented. My point about in previous posts is that I agree cutter dredges should never be allowed again in any form, amateur or commercial. However suction excavation is classed as non invasive, and is the preferred method of the 2000's, in any industry. Personally legislation should be changed to allow suction excavation, and floating dredges up to 10 hp for amateur use. Oh, there are also far less environmental impacts using a suction floating dredge as apposed to the current approved methods. Food for thought. [/QUOTE]
