[QUOTE="dwt, post: 69012, member: 428"] Hi all, I have just done the run around between DEPI & local Council Offices, and put to them the idea of cleaning up where you prospect and camp, explaining to them that as prospectors, some of us have chosen to clean up our bush in areas we do/do not detect pan sluice ect, because our love of the bush and to promote a healthy, caring image, of the modern day prospector. Further more i asked if there was any way to avoid the heavy dumping costs associated with collecting and disposing of other peoples waste. The DEPI suggested to take it to my local Council (in a nice way) explaining to me that they too have pay costs to the local Council for the dumping of rubbish at transfer stations, which i was then told is costing them upwards of $50,000p/a. They agreed it was a great idea and would help promote a great image for prospectors and fossickers, but there is not much that could be done from their side to help us out, therefore i was instructed to approach the council. I then approached the local Council, explaing to them the exact same as the DEPI, they were very helpful and somewhat enthusastic about the idea,but alas once i asked about the dumping fees they then directed me to the EPA. From what i understood from the conversation with the local Council, they have to pay the EPA dumping expence, for prospectors to be able to dump rubbish from bush clean ups for free or at the least a reduced price it would have to come down the chain from the EPA, with the council and parks or depi approval and sign off as well. It was recommended that an offical letter head be made up and sent to all parties concerned (PARKS,DEPI,local town or City Council). Now this is where its starting to get out of my league, i am happy to approach the local network side, but i certainly would be struggling to branch out any further than this, i am hoping with your help and the help of the PMAV we might be able to get them to start some type of ball rolling, so that everyone has the chance to jump on board, have their say and make some type of difference to the PUBLIC image of the modern day prospector. kind regards................dwt........ 8) For all the people who are wondering whats going on please read the full thread from page 1 which will help explain my above text that was PM to RottenRon......
