| (a) All facilities shall be subject to inspections
by the department. A first-time applicant's facilities shall be inspected
by the department and no permit shall be issued until the facilities
are determined to satisfy all of the applicable facilities standards
of this subchapter.
(1) The department may specify individual caging requirements
on a case-by-case basis.
(2) Clean water shall be available at all times except
where medical circumstances require the temporary denial of water.
(3) Feces and waste materials shall be removed on a
daily basis except for species which normally re-ingest fecal material.
(4) Cages shall be cleaned and disinfected using non-irritating
methods.
(5) A person authorized by permit shall observe and
provide care for wildlife at least once daily unless otherwise specified
by the permit.
(b) White-tailed deer and mule deer held under a permit
issued under this subchapter shall be confined at all times within
a department-approved enclosure (indoor, outdoor, or both) that is
constructed in such a fashion as to prevent both escape and contact
with other deer or susceptible species as defined in Chapter 65, Subchapter
B, of this title (relating to Disease Detection and Response). The
department will not authorize the rehabilitation of deer by a permittee
if the permittee's facility is not in compliance with this subsection.
