Kid, no notice of intent is required. In fact, if you file one you will be working against everything miners fought so hard for.

The courts said that no notice of intent is required unless you are making a significant surface disturbance. A significant surface disturbance was defined as: Cutting Trees and/or using heavy equipment. The court also said that the miner makes the determination about if he needs to file an NOI, not the Forest Service.

You must have a dredge permit in hand before you put it in the water.

you need to go up to the top and put in "search" your questions. They have already been answered many times on here.
Also, you may want to take a look at the legal pages here and see the legal decisions that have been won for you. That is one of them.
