OAR 635-007-0725
Sturgeon Propagation Permit Required

(1)

Except as provided in section (4) of this rule, any person shall obtain a Sturgeon Propagation Permit in order to propagate for sale or sell any live sturgeon or sturgeon eggs.

(2)

Each year the Department is authorized to issue up to 15 sturgeon propagation permits. Permits will be allocated first to those persons who currently hold sturgeon propagation permits except for good cause not to reissue a permit (such as violations of terms or conditions of a current propagation permit or violations of other fish and wildlife laws), and thereafter to those persons submitting a completed, acceptable application in the order in which the completed applications were received.

(3)

A separate Sturgeon Propagation Permit shall be obtained for each commercial propagation site and shall be renewed annually.

(4)

Any permit in good standing is entitled to be renewed for the following year. Any permits remaining after December 31 may be distributed by lottery amongst the applicants in January of the following year, and any permits remaining shall then be distributed on a first come — first serve basis.

(5)

The department may attach to the Sturgeon propagation permit any terms and conditions it deems necessary to achieve compliance with Oregon laws or rules or protect native wildlife.

(6)

The department may refuse to issue any Sturgeon propagation permit if:

(a)

Applicant fails to meet any of the deadlines specified in OAR 635-007-0730 (Permit Application Process);

(b)

Propagation of sturgeon will be the first introduction of that species into the watershed in which the proposed facility is located;

(c)

The department finds the operation, as proposed by the applicant, would tend to be harmful to existing fish populations;

(d)

The department finds the applicant violated any terms of any license, permit or operational plan issued by the department;

(e)

The department finds the applicant has failed to comply with any statute, rule or reporting requirements relevant to the operation of the propagation facility; or

(f)

The applicant has failed to pay any sums it owes to the department or which are owed to the department under any license or permit it holds or the benefits of which it enjoys.
