HOLDER: Are you paid for removal of the <br />gravel by the land owners as a flood control? <br />MR. BINGHAM: Not in dollars and cents, but in <br />kind, yes. V7e have five acres to operate on. <br />MR. HOLDER: You take the gravel royalty free <br />up there? <br />MR. BINGHAM: We do pay 20 cents per yard <br />royalty for t:he gravel. But five acres is worth far more <br />in rentals tt/an what we are paying. <br />THE CHAIRMAN: The reason the Board gave you <br />permission or approval to operate--to operate after the Cease <br />and Desist Order, it was not to cause a hardship. We didn't <br />mean that it was no longer mining, it was in violation that <br />you had done it then without a permit. <br />A9R. LOYE: And I think beyond that, the law <br />states that part and parcel of mining is prospecting. It's <br />every activity that is connected with this operation is part <br />of a mining operation, as far as our law is concerned. What <br />I actually told Mr. Bingham that the operation of removing <br />the material from the river, from what I remember the Board <br />saying, was :Flood control, parts of it. The processing and <br />selling of tl~e material, had nothing directly to do with flood <br />control, therefore, that part of the mining operation was <br />covered by the Cease and Desist Order. Therefore, the Cease <br />and Desist Order did have a function and a purpose. <br />F.lLFE 1' (-a RF611'T6R F .9 S.WC/.-IT/..1'. /A'C <br />Crn~llyd Sh„rrlmnJ Rrpnnrrl <br />15110 (lirrr rr Jlr Rout <br />l.~nlrron.
