Title 14 - Natural Resources
Division 1 - Fish and Game Commission-Department of Fish and Game
Subdivision 3 - General Regulations
Chapter 6 - Regulations for Implementation of the California Endangered Species Act and Native Plant Protection Act
Article 2 - Take Incidental to Routine and Ongoing Agricultural Activities
Section 786.8 - Construction with Other Statutes

Nothing in this Article precludes the Department from authorizing agricultural conservation programs pursuant to other provisions in Division 3, Chapter 1.5 of the Fish and Game Code. Take that occurs incidental to farm or ranch operations may independently be authorized by the Department under section 2081 or 2835 of the Fish and Game Code, provided the requirements of those sections are satisfied. In addition, the specific provisions in this Article that authorize incidental take by participants in a voluntary local program shall not be construed to limit the application of section 2087 of the Fish and Game Code, which provides that accidental take of candidate, threatened and endangered species is not prohibited during routine and ongoing agricultural activities without regard to whether a voluntary local program has been established.
