I wouldn’t let it discourage you this much and that wasn’t the intent at all. Like I said, the first step is to identify a location that needs help and then who has jurisdiction over it. Then form a little team to get a little plan formed and contact them. They will likely assist you more than hinder you, and they will likely be Federal, rather than just State of California for most areas (and can help you with the state aspect).ssc wrote:Unreal. After reading all that has been said, I guess it was a good thought and I will leave it at that. I do not have the time nor the inclination to deal with the idiotic bureaucracy of the CCC. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. . .
For the Calico Cleanup, the BLM handled a lot of the disposal issues and provided the dumpsters if I am correct. Other entities, both government and private, may be able to assist in an effort, cutting down on the red tape.
The historic or import artifact issue is also there, which is why you want to contact them rather than go under the radar. For example, at one point in the second Calico Cleanup, a overzealous group that had broken away from the main body went after some of the mining relics as trash. This was corrected, but . . well you get the point.
