A permittee may apply to the department for an adjustment of preserve acreage. The department may adjust the acreage to remove land that had substantial and detrimental changes in habitat caused by hail, flooding, drought, or fire and replace it with other land that may be, but is not required to be contiguous to the preserve. An adjustment of preserve acreage is effective only for the year in which it is approved by the department and may not be considered as acreage included in an existing shooting preserve for purposes of a renewal application.
