All,
As you know, the Brakkes filed a suit to challenge the DNR’s -5 year quarantine on the 330 acre pen in Davis Co.
In late Feb. 2014 a judge ruled in favor of the Brakkes, and the ruling stated the DNR lacks jurisdiction to quarantine the pen for 5 years. Apparently, by the ruling, the DNR could quarantine the animals, but not the land. If the appeal is not supported by the NRC Commission members it will not go to court. At that time all the fences can come down and the wild deer herd will have free range in the once enclosed pen.
The DNR has appealed the ruling to District Court, but it must be supported first by vote of the NRC Commissioners. It appears(from my sources) that the NRC meeting will be in May. However, I just learned of a NRC teleconference meeting involving the appeal. It is scheduled for this Friday, March 21, 2014 at 11:00 AM (see attached agenda). This is very hush- hush issue within the DNR and the employees are not engaged.
If you agree, it is imperative that you contact the NRC Commissioners to voice your support of the appeal to District Court.
