Description

Abstract: The Wildlife Areas and Refuges dataset represents one type of “sensitive area” for the purpose of reviewing and approving Pesticide Use Plans per ODFW's obligations under ORS 452.140 and ORS 452.245. ODFW will only make recommendations for mosquito control treatment protocols on sensitive areas, as identified in the ODFW Vector Control Guidance for Sensitive Areas document or confirmed by the local fish and wildlife biologists utilizing the guidelines in the document. In general, a sensitive area is any area where fish and wildlife and their habitats are rare or of local importance due to their special nature or role in the ecosystem. Species-specific and location-specific details are not maintained in this dataset.

Purpose: This dataset identifies wildlife management areas or refuges owned or managed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Some wildlife areas contain private inholdings that are not considered part of the wildlife area or wildlife refuge. For vector control purposes, ODFW recognizes federal wildlife areas and refuges as sensitive areas, but does not recommend treatment protocols on these lands. These lands are regulated through the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Vector Control Districts and Counties should coordinate with USFWS staff on current protocols. As this may not be a real-time list, each County or VCD is responsible for protecting locations covered by federal laws (e.g., raptor nests) that may not be listed by ODFW, should a federally-regulated site be encountered.
