The department shall review the resource site rules for sensitive bird nesting, roosting and watering sites; for threatened and endangered fish and wildlife species; and for significant wetlands to determine if protection levels are effective. Every two years the department shall report to the Board: (1) The number and types of operations conducted adjacent to, or within, resource sites. (2) The productivity of a sample of resource sites, including an evaluation of the success of the applied protection levels and an assessment of the economic impacts. (3) The number of structural and temporal exceptions requested; the number of exceptions permitted and denied; when exceptions are permitted, any disagreement to the exception on the part of the Department of Fish and Wildlife; and the reasons for granting or denying the exceptions. (4) The number of approved alternate plans for each significant wetland type. (5) Recommended changes to protection rules. (6) Research needed to further evaluate the protection levels.
