Wayne, Bill, Here is the missive i got from the FS. ken Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass - It's about dancing in the rain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: rsstew...@fs.fed.us; bigredfo...@yahoo.com; jimwer...@windstream.net; ken_harring...@hotmail.com CC: cherieedwa...@fs.fed.us; pb...@fs.fed.us; blbol...@fs.fed.us Subject: Re: Fw: 2600; White-nose Syndrome in bats From: lp...@fs.fed.us List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 14:27:57 -0600 Everyone, Enclosed below is the WNS decontamination protocol for any and all cave visitation as required by the Washington and Regional offices. Please distribute this out to all concerned individuals. Also, please review and get with me if (when) you have any questions. You may well have already seen this but I am sending this out to be sure everyone has a copy and plan for implementation. At present there are no facilities on this District for decontamination activities. This is not optional. As of 1/Oct/2010 this full process will be mandatory for any cave activity and a condition for receiving a cave permit. At present, I have no authority to exclude any cave or cave entry action from this direction. I think it may be very beneficial for all of us to give this as wide a distribution as possible. I also think that it would be a good idea to get us all together and discuss this. I'm thinking a public cave management meeting. Let me hear from you if you think this would be something you think we need. For starters I suggest the 28th at 630 PM. I have the Library Annex here in Carlsbad. Or Sooner or different date if everyone can agree on dates and times. phone messages at 575/885-4181or email me at: lp...@fs.fed.us Thanks, lp Rhonda S Stewart/R3/USDAFS 08/31/2010 09:53 AM To Brian J Davis/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES, Daniel F Ray/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES, Jack D Williams/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES, John Montoya/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES, Larry Cordova/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES, Larry Paul/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES, Patrick A Mercer/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES, Samuel Fragua/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES cc Cherie D Edwards/R3/USDAFS@FSNOTES Subject Fw: 2600; White-nose Syndrome in bats Letter from the Region, and Decom Protocol to be put into place immediately Rhonda S.
