Are S401 permits eligible for renewal in cases of continued damage?

S401 permits can indeed be renewed in cases where continued damage is present. This means that if an individual or entity can demonstrate that the risk of damage to property or resources persists, they are eligible to apply for a renewal of their permit. This renewal process is crucial for ensuring that trapping practices remain aligned with current environmental conditions and the ongoing need for damage management.

The ability to renew permits under these circumstances is essential for effective wildlife management and property protection, as it allows for adaptive responses to changing situations. When there is a clear and ongoing threat that necessitates trapping, the renewal process ensures that managers can legally and responsibly address the issue.

In contrast, options suggesting that permits cannot be renewed or require an automatic extension do not reflect the regulatory framework that supports ongoing management practices in alignment with wildlife and property conservation efforts.
