The last time I saw it it was on the old Gold Grubbing site. That site has been gone for years. I that had the site bookmarked but that computer died years ago. I have looked and can't find it again either.

I NEVER told you the EPA regulated dredge size in any state. That is regulated by the state usually one of the water divisions DENR, N.C. Division of Water Resources, NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources and several other Divisions in the state.

I may have misunderstood.  We were talking about someone who got reamed on the Uwharrie and I thought you said it was the EPA who got him.

My interpretation through different sites, in the past, was that 8" was the cut off point and needed a commercial permit. Most pay to play locations restrict to 4" on their own.

As best I understand it, the EPA or NC Water (forget which) basically wants you to show a commercial permit on 6in and larger as they don't consider something that big as a legit hobby operation. doubt its law, just internal policy.

Its legal to use a 6" dredge in North Carolina, I asked pete at smokefoot the same question and he said its not a written law. 8" and above are considered commercial.
