Bowers Field WildlifeHazard Management Plan <br />7.2.6 Harassment and Deterrent Tools <br />The following is a list of methods ELN may use for harassingandlor deterring hazardous <br />wildlife from the airfield. Other methods may be employed as developed or if conditions <br />warrant. <br />Effigies <br />Lethal reinforcement <br />Shooting harassment <br />Vegetation management <br />Exclusion <br />Pyrotechnics <br />Sirens/distress calls <br />Vehicle harassment <br />7.3 Communication between Wildlife Control Personnel and <br />Local Air Traffic <br />ELN does not have an air traffic control tower. Vehicles used while conducting wildlife <br />control actions shall have a rotating overhead beacon and an operational two-way radio <br />for monitoring and coordinating with local aircraft. All personnel assigned to vehicles <br />will be trained in proper radio communication and familiar with aeronautical operations. <br />ELN may communicate with fixed-base operators and pilots regarding any wildlife <br />strikes or observations of hazardous wildlife activity at the airfield. Hazatdous wildlife <br />observations and wildlife strikes reported by pilots and fixed-base operators will be <br />recorded in the electronic wildlife observation, control, and strike database. A notice will <br />be posted in the FBO lounge, requesting that ELN management be notified of wildlife <br />hazards and strikes. <br />If ELN is not successful in immediately dispersing hazardous wildlife from the AOA, or <br />if major wildlife hazards (such as geese on or near the active runway) are observed <br />during aircraft operations, ELN will communicate this information to local traffic. Direct <br />communication oTNOTAMs will be used when appropriate. <br />7.4 Recording wildtife obseruations, control measures, and <br />strikes <br />As discussed throughout this section, ELN will document hazardous wildlife <br />observations made during routine airfield inspections and may record hazardous wildlife <br />observations made in conjunction with other on-airfield duties. Any control measures <br />employed and possible wildlife strikes will be recorded (refer to AC 150/5200-328 or go <br />to http://wildlife.faa.gov/ for wildlife strike reporting procedures). Any dead wildlife <br />found within 250 feetof centerline and 1,000 feet from runway ends will be reported as a <br />wildlife strike, unless some alternative, obvious, cause of death is confirmed. Paper <br />datasheets (Airport Inspection Log) for recording observations/control actions will be <br />3l December 2024 <br />7-4
