[QUOTE="Way2go, post: 351646, member: 10363"] Hi All, I think many of you are jumping the gun, so to speak. I am all for the small guy and the prospecting clubs; however, I have seen too many videos on YouTube showing prospectors (here in NSW) using high bankers and not respecting the environment, digging large hole and not remediating the area. If it was not for these people I believe we would stand a better chance of keeping them in service. If joining NAPFA makes you feel good, then join. Groups like this with passionate members can help organise gatherings, submissions to the relevant authority and in some cases make deals with local land owners to allow prospecting. They also do a good job keeping us novices informed of legislation changes etc. If you have a problem or are presented a problem, instead of complaining about the problem, identify a couple of positive solutions or actions to these problems and propose them. This will make prospectors look responsible and give the authorities/government some possible solutions to the existing problem. An Example 1 would be: Issue - High Bankers are causing environmental damage due to the silt coming from the washing action. Solution 1 - Use a reticulation system and not discharge the was into the creek, stream, river or other water course. Solution 2 - have all water used in a high banker pass through an approved silt filter / filter system before being released into the creek, stream, river or water course. I know this message will upset a few. More than likely those of you who have been doing the wrong thing will be the ones who disagree with my comments. food for thought. [/QUOTE]
