Well, it is apparent that we aren't pals. And by challenging your "facts" we have elicited at least the purported source of that information albeit an anonymous one. Would it have been so hard to have included in your initial post that your information came from the WDFW official responsible for issuing them? That would have lent at least some credibility to your generalized statements. And if that official has provided specific information why not utilize his/her name? After all, that is just factual information directly related to their official duties.

But is that same official on board with your assertion that there are numerous violations and that there is no enforcement?

And still nothing on the specifics regarding the actual number of dredge mining window exceptions issued nor the waters involved or nature of the exceptions.

Sure, anything one does around a body of water has the potential for adverse impact. Doesn't mean it is actually occurring. Again, do you have any personal knowledge of violations?

I refuse to act like a lemming. Give me a paragraph of your general position, a couple more citing specifics with source references, followed by a conclusion. If your source won't informally provide detailed information you can always request information under the PDA.
