Not to defend o/a, because I do believe that anyone who spends as much time researching something they have nothing invested in must have an ulterior motive, but I think many of the peoples claims have been that they need permits with the State of Arizona, not the BLM. And I have been emailing a mining engineer at the DMMR and am awaiting some clarification. It appears to me, and I am no expert, that until they create a surface disturbance of more than 5 acres they don't need a permit. In other words, they can mine until they hit the 5 acre max. Assuming there are 217800 square feet in 5 acres and they dig 10 feet(not sure how deep they dig) then they could mine roughly 80000 tons of earth( a yard of fill dirt actually weighs a little over a ton) in a 5 acre area before they need a permit. I am trying to see if the 5 acre limit is based soley on the disturbance or it is tied to the size of the claim. Trying to figure this out as I go. I am almost out of posts so if I don't respond sorry.
