It is important to narrow down the issue(s). <br /> I was made aware of the incident through a call from a friend and walked up to the area to investigate,where I <br /> witnessed the following on 7/27/19:An individual Kevin Singel hosted a paid"30 person suction dredging <br /> class"on a mining claim that he filed in that area. On 7/26-7/28 2019, 30 people simultaneously operated <br /> over 6 pieces of motorized mining equipment on a very small stream system, resulting in highly sedimented <br /> brown water flowing downstream into our property and into our lake where we operate a fishing club.The poor <br /> water quality was bad enough that we are concerned about the ongoing health of our fish. No settlement pond <br /> or filtration was used by Kevin Singel and students.Additionally, motorized vehicles were used on non <br /> motorized trails to access the site, including trespassing across the Los Lagos Ranch ditch system. <br /> Have you contacted the operator or party conducting the operation?If yes, please provide details. <br /> r Yes f No <br /> Details <br /> During my visit to the site on 7/27/19 1 made contact with an individual(unknown if it was Kevin Singel)in the <br /> party and asked if they had a mining claim,which they responded yes. I also asked if they were allowed to use <br /> mechanized equipment,which they replied yes. I later discovered an advertisement for the"class"on <br /> Facebook where I learned about why there was such a large group. Images of the Facebook add are <br /> attached. <br /> If known, please provide the name of the operator or party conducting the operation. <br /> Kevin Singel <br /> If known, please provide the Permit or NOI Number(ie M-1970-111 or P-1970-111). <br /> Must be entered in the following format: M1970111 or P1970111 (No dashes allowed) <br /> Have you contacted any other agencies or local governments related to this issue or issues?If so, <br /> please provide details. <br /> r Yes r No <br /> Details <br /> Mike Johnson with the USFS has been made aware of the incident and is investigating. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION �• <br /> Are there supporting photos, maps, or documents you wish to upload? <br /> r Yes f No <br /> View Attachments in WebLink <br /> Attachments are accepted forinformational purposes only.Action by DRMS requires a direct observation <br /> by DRMS staff. <br /> What is your preferred method for DRMS to communicate with you throughout the investigation? <br />
