California - Mining

摘要

In Karuk Tribe of California v. California Department of Fish & Game, No. RG0521197 (Cal. Super. Ct. Alameda Cnty. 2006), the plaintiffs challenged a 2006 decision by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) (formerly California Department of Fish and Game) to issue suction dredge mining permits in the Klamath, Scott, and Salmon River watersheds. The Alameda County Superior Court ordered CDFW "to conduct further environmental review pursuant to CEQA [California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] of its suction dredge mining regulations." Id. at 3.
