Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14 § 786.6
Any taking of candidate, threatened or endangered species incidental to routine and ongoing agricultural activities is not prohibited by Division 3, Chapter 1.5 of the Fish and Game Code if the take occurs while management practices in a voluntary local program authorized pursuant to this article are being followed, except that this section does not authorize the take of fish species that are a member of the class Osteichthyes. The Department recognizes that management practices, if successful, will increase the number of individuals of candidate, threatened and endangered species in proximity to farms and ranches as a result of management practices. This article is intended to protect farmers and ranchers from legal liability for take that may result from their voluntary participation in a voluntary local program.
