surrounding environment.
WS will also implement a program of"lethal control' as requested by the Waterfowl
Management Committee, subject to the terms and conditions of a permit to be issued by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service This will be done on a case by case basis in situations where an over
population of Canada geese may result in an impact on human health and safety, such as potable
water contamination,bird aircraft strikes, disease transmission or other situations as determined
by WMC members
Agency and corporate participants acknowledge by approval signature

through the removal of Canada geese, and will rely on the experience and
expertise of WS to identify locations where goose removal is appropriate.
