Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill Tuesday to extend a moratorium on suction dredge mining for gold, cheering environmental opponents of the practice.
"It's a significant victory for water quality and California taxpayers," said Jonathan Evans, of the Center for Biological Diversity in San Francisco.
The bill, AB 120, includes a five-year extension of an existing moratorium against the practice of suctioning river-bottom gravels in search of gold and other minerals.
That would stop dredging at least until June 30, 2016.

We need to protect not destroy our Wolves!
If we continue to look the other way on everything that is sacred then we will have
nothing to say when the Creator looks away from us!
Environmentalists went to federal court on Tuesday seeking to restore endangered species safeguards for some 1,200 gray wolves in Montana and Idaho removed from protection by an unprecedented act of Congress.
Conservation groups say Congress exceeded its authority by intervening in an ongoing court case to remove the wolves from the endangered species list without bothering to amend the underlying law and by presuming to exclude its action from judicial review.
