FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Some people are calling for the regulation of dredging for gold in Virginia rivers.
The Free Lance-Star of Fredericksburg (http://bit.ly/QwnjzD) says officials have seen a surge in recreational gold mining in waters such as the Rappahannock River. Environmentalists and water conservation officials say the practice involves gas-powered suction dredges that can be harmful to fish and their eggs.
Since the state doesn't require a permit to dredge for gold, it's unclear exactly how many people are doing it.
Director Nathan Lott of the Virginia Conservation Network said he is hopeful a reasonable state regulation can be developed.
The practice of gold dredging was discussed at a meeting this week in Fredericksburg.
