Shutdown closes refuge
|
|
October 1, 2013 |
The Federal Government will be closed as current
funding expired on September 30, 2013. The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service is very much aware
that any lapse in appropriations imposes
hardships on those we serve. Due to this event,
the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge will be
closed to the public.
For programs experiencing a lapse in
appropriated funding, only limited functions
would continue, such as those necessary to
respond to emergencies and to protect human life
or property.
While a lapse in appropriations remains in
effect, public access to Service properties will
be prohibited and fish and wildlife management
activities and public programs will be
cancelled.
This includes all hunting and fishing activities
on the refuge.
Additional information is available at
DOI.gov/shutdown and
OPM.gov, which
will contain information about the government’s
operating status on Tuesday, October 1, and the
days following. |
