<br />M¿r-~3-00 lO:3BA <br /> <br />P.O~ <br /> <br />5~-(p <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Simmons <br />March 8, 2000 <br />Pate Twr> <br /> <br />December of 1998. !Juring this IS-month period, according to PHS, <br />only one raccoon and no skunks were trapped by ~he feral cat <br />network. <br /> <br />In summary, with regard to the rehabilitation and release of <br />wildlife, California Code of Regulations Section 679(f) (4) <br />prr>hibits the relocation of "...any wildlife trapped in towns or <br />citic~ or removed f~om under buildings or otherwise taken or <br />trapped as nuisance wildlife. Such wildlife shall be immediately <br />released back to the w=.ld..." Inasmuch as red foxes are the <br />focu~ of Lhe U5D~'s trapping operation, it would seem prudent to <br />approve t~e relea~c of nùtive wildlife within a reasonable <br />distance of the trap site. In the past, a three-mile radius has <br />been l:I distance we used to satisfy the "immediate area" <br />requirement. Therefore, the DFG approves this distance being <br />applied at Redwood Shores. On the other hand, if a highcr-than- <br />an t.icipa ted number of rac(;oon:5 and skunks are trapped, the DFG <br />reserves ~LS riqh~ to reconsider the aforementioned apprr>val. <br /> <br />By ù copy of this letter, PHS is reque5ted to report ~O the <br />DFG monthly the numb~r of native wildlife trapped. Please <br />provide that information to Captain Tom Belt at (707) 944-5544. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ <br />ðt' <br /> <br />Brian Hunter. <br />Regional Mi!mager <br />Central Coast Region <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />cc: U(;.
