We just lost 1.8 million acres

Today we lost 1.8 million acres. The solid red area is 3 new National Monuments signed into law by executive order. Bypassing the meesly 7% support in congress, it was made law under the Antiquities Act.

Below is with the current Wilderness areas in green. At least you can prospect, but no vehicles, motorized equipment or metal detectors in Wilderness areas.

Judge Ochoa Stays CEQA Ruling in Remarkable Court Proceeding

Judge Ochoa Stays CEQA Ruling in Remarkable Court Proceeding

In San Bernardino Superior Court, Judge Gilbert Ochoa candidly admitted that the mining community is being denied justice in his own courtroom by deferring a decision on the CEQA case.

Comments from Attorney James Buchal:

This morning was the scheduled time for Judge Ochoa to hear and rule upon CEQA and Administrative Procedure Act challenges to the Department’s FSEIR on suction dredging, as well as the time set for a hearing on a motion for summary judgment (and the Department’s counter-motion for judgment on the pleadings) concerning the question whether AB 120 and SB 1018 were unconstitutional for violation of the “one subject” rule in the California Constitution.
