The herd owner and the designated epidemiologist shall develop a plan for eradicating CWD in each affected herd. The herd owner may request the participation of a veterinarian in the development of the plan. The plan shall be designed to reduce and then eliminate CWD within the herd, to prevent spread of the disease to other herds, and to prevent reintroduction of CWD after the herd becomes a certified CWD cervid herd. The herd plan shall be developed and signed within sixty days after the determination that the herd is affected.
The herd plan shall address herd management and adherence to all provisions of this chapter. The plan shall be formalized as a memorandum of agreement between the owner and program officials, shall be approved by the state veterinarian, and shall include plans to obtain certified CWD cervid status.
