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.
