Possession, transfer or any other act relative to such wildlife contrary to the Director's determination of disposition is prohibited.  Any occurrence of CWD in a commercial wildlife park, including the detection of CWD in either a wild or private animal within the exterior boundaries of the park or facility requires the immediate quarantine of the facility.  De-population upon a positive diagnosis of CWD shall be required if the Division and the Dept. of Agriculture agree that the herd presents a substantial risk, taking into consideration the size and location of the facility, the presumed length of exposure, the effectiveness of the fence, and other relevant factors.   The quarantine shall remain in place and no re-stocking of cervids including, but not limited to, stocking for the purposes of the operation of a terminal facility, shall occur without written agreement of the Division and the Dept. of Agriculture.  In addition to required testing of all mortality’s, the herd shall be closely monitored and all clinically suspect animals shall also be destroyed and tested.  Any deer or elk brought onto a facility in violation of quarantine or re-stocking plan must be immediately destroyed and tested for CWD.   If CWD is detected in any of these, all other private deer or elk that have come into contact with these animals must be immediately destroyed and tested for CWD. In all such cases, there shall be no obligation for the state to compensate the owner of the animals.
D.  The Director shall determine when destruction of wildlife, a quarantine or disinfection is required at any federal, state, private or commercial fish or wildlife production facility.  If the Director determines that either destruction, quarantine or disinfection is required, he shall issue a written order to the owner or operator of the facility setting forth the steps for destruction and/or disinfection.  Required disinfection of holding facilities will be completed at the owner's expense.  If the owner disagrees with the Division's determination he shall have the right to appeal the decision to the Wildlife Commission provided notice of such appeal is given to the Director within twenty four (24) hours of receipt of the order.

1.  All shipments of triploid grass carp must be accompanied by a copy of the original certificate of triploidy issued by the U S Fish and Wildlife Service for that lot of fish.
a.  Aquaculture facilities which do not hold diploid grass carp and which have been designated by the Dept. of Agriculture on their aquaculture permits for grass carp as "triploid grass carp only" facilities may hold triploid grass carp over from year to year and release these fish in triploid waters. The triploidy certificate will be accepted for the lot until all fish have been released.
b.  The triploid certificate for triploid grass carp held in aquaculture facilities which hold both diploid and triploid fish will be accepted until the end of the calendar year.  If stocked after that date, the fish must be stocked as diploid grass carp. Triploid grass carp acquired after January 1 of each year must have a new triploidy certificate for each lot of fish.
c.  Diploid grass carp can only be held in facilities on the east slope.  If triploid grass carp are held in the same aquaculture facility prior to release, they must be held in containers separate and distinct from those holding diploid grass carp. When diploid and triploid grass carp are held in separate cages in the same raceway, any fish which escapes from a cage will be considered a diploid.
d.  Diploid grass carp may be transported through the west slope (west of the Continental Divide and in the Rio Grande Basin) only when the destination is on the eastern slope or in another state.
2.  Diploid or triploid grass carp may be released into standing water or irrigation ditches east of the Continental Divide, except in the Rio Grande Basin.
3.  West of the Continental Divide and in the Rio Grande Basin:
a.  Only certified triploid grass carp may be released into standing waters and must be at least eight inches in length at the time they are released.
b.  Such waters must be screened prior to stocking to prevent escape of fish. All screens shall be maintained so as to prevent such escape, and at least one measurement of the gap size shall not exceed one & one-quarter (1 1/4) inch. All such screens may be inspected on an annual basis by the Division or its designated representative.
c.  The stocking location of all grass carp released in the above waters must be reported to the Division, on forms provided by the Division, within thirty (30) days of release.
d.  Grass carp to be held in aquaculture facilities west of the Continental Divide and in the Rio Grande Basin must be a minimum of 8" in length at the time they are placed in the facility.  Any undersized fish that are inadvertently present in a shipment must be removed or handled in a manner to ensure that such fish cannot escape from the facility.
F.  Upper Colorado River Basin
1.  Within the Upper Colorado River Basin, and except as provided herein, no person shall release any species or subspecies of fish below 6500 feet in elevation which did not originate naturally, either presently or historically, in Colorado.
a.  Channel catfish and fathead minnow may be released into ponds, lakes and reservoirs below 6500' in elevation, except in critical habitat, provided the receiving water is isolated or its outlet(s) are screened prior to stocking to prevent escape of fish or their progeny.

Mosquitofish ( Gambusia affinis ) may be released into ponds, lake and reservoirs below 6500' in elevation but above the 50 year floodplain of those river reaches defined as critical habitat, provided the receiving water is isolated, or its outlet(s) are screened prior to stocking to prevent escape of fish or their progeny.
c.  Certified triploid grass carp at least 8 inches in length, bluegill, black crappie, and  largemouth bass may be released into ponds, lake and reservoirs below 6500' in elevation, including waters located within the 50 year floodplain of those river reaches defined as critical habitat, provided the receiving water is isolated or its outlet (s) are screened prior to stocking to prevent the escape of fish or their progeny. Provided further, that all ponds, lakes or reservoirs within the 50 year floodplain must have an existing, modified or constructed dike meeting standards sufficient to resist at least the 50 year flood.  Minimum dike standards include the following:
1.  The dike must be designed and constructed in accordance with recognized and accepted engineering practices;
2.  The dike must be capable of withstanding the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic forces, and the effects of buoyancy associated with a 50 year flood.
3.  The dike must be five feet above the ordinary high water line (OHWL).
All dikes must be certified in writing as meeting these standards by a qualified engineer, prior to stocking.  The report shall be submitted to the Division of Wildlife and shall include a consideration of depth and duration of flooding, floodplain elevation, dike geometry, dike and foundation materials, dike compaction, penetrations, and other factors affecting penetrations, localized river channel constrictions and conditions, and any other factors that may affect the ability of the dike to withstand flood events.
2.  Salmonids may be released within the Upper Colorado River Basin except in those river reaches defined as critical habitat.
3.  Smallmouth bass, northern pike ( Esox lucius ), and tiger muskie ( Esox lucius  X  Esox masquinongy ) may be released except in critical habitat, within the Upper Colorado River Basin, and then only if:
a.  The fish are acquired within the basin from an existing population below 6500' in elevation; and
b.  The receiving water already contains the species and is isolated or its outlets are screened to prevent the escape of the fish or their progeny.
All such relocations of fish must be authorized in advance and in writing by the Division.
4.  All ponds, lakes or reservoirs within the Upper Colorado River Basin which require, or rely upon, dikes or screens to prevent the escape of stocked fish and their progeny will be inspected on an annual basis by the Division or its designated representative.  All dikes and screens shall be maintained to prevent the escape of fish and their progeny.  Whenever screens are required, at least one measurement of the gap size shall not exceed one-quarter (1/4) inch.
G.  Release of aquatic wildlife must comply with all applicable regulations including but not limited to the restrictions in #011, #012, and #014 of these regulations.
#014 – AQUATIC WILDLIFE HEALTH MANAGEMENT
A.  Inspection and Certification for Prohibited and Regulated Fish Diseases
1.  Annual fish health inspections and certifications are required for all instate fish production or holding facilities, which sell or stock live salmonids, or out of state facilities importing live salmonids into Colorado. A fish health certification will terminate one year from the effective date of certification or upon discovery of a prohibited or regulated disease, whichever occurs first. However, provided the facility requests its annual fish health inspection within 12 months of the effective date of its last certification, its fish health certification shall be valid for fifteen months or whenever its subsequent inspection report is available, whichever occurs first. In the absence of a timely written request for an annual fish health inspection the fish health certification shall terminate 12 months from the effective date of its last certification. A copy of such certification must accompany each fish shipment within or into Colorado.
2.  All such facilities shall be annually inspected by a qualified fish health pathologist for both prohibited and regulated diseases as applicable.
a.  Prohibited diseases
1.  All such facilities must be certified to be free of the following diseases:
Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNVViral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV) Oncorhynchus masou  Virus (OMV)
2.  Inspection and Certification for Other Diseases of Concern: all importing facilities within the applicable endemic disease areas, including both salmonid and nonsalmonid fish production or holding facilities, must also be annually certified by a qualified fish health pathologist to be free of the following diseases:
Ceratomyxa shasta  (Ceratomyxosis)Epizootic Epitheliotropic Disease (EEV)Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus (ISAV) Piscirickettsia salmonis  Tetracapsula bryosalmo  (Proliferative Kidney Disease – PKD)Spring Viremia of Carp Virus (SVCV)
b.  Regulated diseases – all facilities must be certified for the presence or absence of the following diseases:
Myxobolus cerebralis  (Whirling Disease – WD) Renibacterium salmoninarum  (Bacterial Kidney Disease - BKD) Aeromonas salmonicida  (Furunculosis)Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV)
3.  Testing procedures. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, all inspections and testing procedures must be conducted as set forth in the Blue Book: USFWS and AFS-FHS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and American Fisheries Society-Fish Health Section). 2005. Standard procedures for aquatic animal health inspections. In AFS-FHS. FHS Blue Book: Suggested procedures for the detection and identification of certain finfish and shellfish pathogens, 2005 edition.

ARTICLE XI  SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS
#020
A.   Most restrictive Federal or State law   In all cases of licensing, taking, possession, importation, exportation, release, marking and sale of any wildlife, irrespective of current status (threatened, endangered, game or nongame), the most restrictive state or federal regulation shall apply by species.
B.   Live Capture  – Common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentine) may be taken in any number and maintained alive.
#021 - FEEDING OR ATTRACTING WILDLIFE
A.   Except as provided in subsections (A)(1-4) of this regulation no person shall place, deposit, distribute or scatter grain, hay, or other foods so as to intentionally constitute a lure, attraction or enticement for big game not lawfully held in captivity.
1.  Crops and crop aftermath, including hay, alfalfa and grains, produced, harvested, stored or fed to domestic livestock in accordance with normal agricultural practices shall not be subject to this regulation.
2.  When the Director determines it necessary to authorize feeding to prevent damage to private property.
3.  When the Director determines it necessary to authorize feeding to mitigate the population loss anticipated by a predicted winter mortality that will exceed 30 percent of the adult female segment of a big game ungulate population in any one Game Management Unit.
4.  When the Director determines it appropriate to feed big game as a part of a research or management program.
B.   In the counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Douglas, Gilpin, Jefferson, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Sedgwick, Washington and Weld, it shall be unlawful to place or deposit minerals or salt in area as to constitute a lure or attractant for big game.
