INFORMATION REGARDING THE USE OF
SUCTION DREDGES IN COLORADO
Attached to this documents is general information regarding prospecting
prepared by the Division of Minerals and Geology and by the Bureau of Land
Management. This document addresses the use of suction dredges specifically.
The Division of Minerals and Geology regulates mining and prospecting
operations in the State of Colorado under the auspices of the Colorado Mined
Land Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land
Reclamation Board. Copies of the Act and Regulations are available from the
Division of Minerals and Geology for $5.00. If you plan to do any prospecting
in Colorado it is advisable to obtain these documents as well as a "Notice of
Intent to Conduct Prospecting" form. Mail your request, asking specifically
for these documents, and a check to the letterhead address.
Of particular interest to recreational prospectors is the exclusion in the
definition of the term prospecting contained in C.R.S. 34 -32 -103 that allows
disturbance of 1600 square feet or less of the land's surface, not to exceed
two such disturbances per acre; except that the cumulative total of such
disturbances will not exceed five acres statewide in any prospecting operation
extending over twenty -four consecutive months. If your dredging operation
fits within this criterion, you do not have to file a Notice of Intent to
Conduct Prospecting with the Division of Minerals and Geoloay.
Please note that land surface
s under water, such as s ream beds.
As the foregoing discussion indicates, the Division of Minerals and Geology
does not, at this time, regulate dredging operations on the basis of the size
of the dredge, but rather on the areal extent of the disturbance. There are
other agencies that may have regulatory authority over dredging operations
within Colorado that may use dredge size as a criterion.
