Permitting Compliance with CDFW

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) will begin to require bullfrog control services for the following purposes, but not limited to:

• Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSAA): Bullfrog control may be required as part of LSAA agreements to mitigate the impact of bullfrog populations on native aquatic ecosystems, including streams, rivers, and lakes. Controlling bullfrog populations can help preserve water quality, protect native species, and maintain ecological balance in aquatic habitats.

• Incidental Take Permits (ITP): Bullfrog control measures may be necessary to minimize the incidental take of native wildlife species caused by bullfrog predation and competition. Incorporating bullfrog control into ITP requirements can help mitigate the negative impacts of bullfrogs on native species and ensure compliance with wildlife conservation regulations.

• Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP): Bullfrog control may be included as a conservation measure in NCCP agreements aimed at protecting and restoring native habitats and species. Targeted bullfrog control efforts can help enhance the resilience of native ecosystems, promote biodiversity conservation, and support the long-term sustainability of California's natural resources.

These regulatory mechanisms provide opportunities to address the ecological impacts of bullfrogs and implement effective control measures to protect native wildlife and habitats. By incorporating bullfrog control into existing regulatory frameworks, the CDFW aims to improve ecosystem health, mitigate species declines, and promote the conservation of California's rich biodiversity.
