These (roadkill of T&E Species and ATV use/attractive nuisance)were two of the key arguments that DERM and private environmental groups used in trying to get the project killed, and so they had to be accounted for somehow. The most likely reason for the differences in the fencing has to do with differences in the County Codes.
