Mine tailings fell into the river, raising the riverbed by 18 feet at ["Marysville"], 26 feet at ["Daguerre Point Dam"] near ["Browns Valley"], and 84 feet at ["Smartsville"].[[FootNote([http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/calbk:@field(DOCID+@lit(calbk136div107)): Memories: My Seventy-Two Years in the Romantic County of Yuba, California], by ["W. T. Ellis, Jr."])]] As a result, the river spilled out into a two-miles-wide, 20-feet-deep flow that overran hundreds of thousands of acres of orchards and pastures and (repeatedly from the late 1860s onward, and especially in 1875) buried the entire city of ["Marysville"] and much of what is now ["Yuba City"] in as much as 25 feet of muck. In 1868, angry ["Farming" farmers] in the Marysville-Yuba City area formed the ["Anti-Debris Association"], which filed a lawsuit against the wealthy mining companies upstream.
Line 19:	Line 32:
- In 1875, the association won its lawsuit. As a result of this decision, a dam 11,000 feet long (nearly two miles) was built in 1880, about nine miles upstream from Marysville, to re-confine the Yuba River to a narrower bed. Called the Yuba Dam, it was built of brush, wire, and logs, and cost approximately $100,000. The Yuba Dam no longer exists, having been replaced by several newer dams farther upstream, but later attempts to reduce the problem also included a massive system of ["Levees"] and in 1895, the installation of the ["Marysville River Pumps"]. Flooding on a smaller scale has remained a problem in much of the area to this day.	+ In 1880, a dam 11,000 feet long (nearly two miles) was built about nine miles upstream from Marysville, in order to re-confine the Yuba River below that point to a narrower bed. This was called the Yuba Dam. It was built from brush, wire, and logs, and cost approximately $100,000. It no longer exists today, but several newer dams farther upstream continue to serve the same purpose. In addition, the submerged ["Daguerre Point Dam"] near ["Browns Valley"] was built exclusively to prevent hydraulic mining debris from entering the ["Feather River"] and the ["Sacramento River"].
Line 21:	Line 34:
- As a result of all this, the current channel of the Yuba River in the ["Hammonton"] area has moved approximately 1.5 miles northwest of its original channel.	+ Although the Yuba River was eventually re-confined to a relatively narrow channel again, its current channel is significantly different from its original channel. In the ["Hammonton"] area, the current channel of the Yuba River is located approximately 1.5 miles northwest of its original channel. + + In 1884, Judge [wiki:wikipedia:"Lorenzo Sawyer"] ruled in favor of the ["Anti-Debris Association"] in its lawsuit, prohibiting hydraulic mining except in cases when the debris could be prevented from entering the rivers and flowing downstream. Since preventing the debris from doing exactly that proved to be impractical in most cases, hydraulic mining was never done on a comparably large scale after that ruling. + + However, much of the debris from past hydraulic mining still remains in the river. In 1905, Major William W. Harts of the California Debris Commission, "The quantity of material lodged in the river due to mining has been variously estimated, but it seems safe to say that there are now upwards of 333,000,000 cubic yards in the bed of the lower Yuba, this in a distance of about eight miles above Marysville." + + After hydraulic mining was largely ended, ["W. P. Hammon"] pioneered the practice of gold dredging on the Yuba River, inventing specialized dredging material to sort through the existing debris left behind by hydraulic miners and extract any remaining gold from it. He became a millionaire in the process, and the dredging company towns of ["Hammonton"] and ["Marigold"] were created to house the dredging companies' many employees. One large dredger still operates on the Yuba River to this day.[[FootNote([http://www.ycwa.com/about/waters-journey Yuba County Water Agency: The Water's Journey])]] A large but remote segment of the Yuba River in Nevada County is designated for recreational dredging. This area is located approximately 1.5 miles above Humbug Creek and can only be reached on foot, via the ["South Yuba Trail"].[[Footnote([http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/folsom/dredgingsites.html U.S. Department of the Interior: Bureau of Land Management: Mother Lode Field Office])]]

The dam was 11,000 feet long (nearly two miles) and was used to re-confine the Yuba River to a narrower bed after the debris from hydraulic mining had caused it to spill out of its channel into a two-miles-wide, 20-feet deep flow. The Yuba Dam was built from brush, wire, and logs, and cost approximately $100,000. It has since been replaced by several newer dams farther upstream.
