OAR 635-049-0285: Decommissioning

(1) If a license is suspended, revoked or relinquished, or if any cervid herd is eliminated, the holder must maintain fences necessary to prevent ingress by wild cervids to areas once inhabited by captive cervids. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that wild cervids do not access a site potentially contaminated with disease. (2) A holder may ask the Department to lift the fencing requirement imposed by paragraph (1). Upon its determination that the site is not contaminated with a disease posing a threat to wildlife, the Department may rescind the fencing requirement and allow the site to be made accessible to wild cervids.
