When I put in a request for Grass Carp to the TPW I had to fill out a one or maybe two page form (supplied by Todd Overton). Form requested location of pond by giving directions to drive to the pond or gps. I had to draw a picture of the pond (and I am not an artist) so I drew a rectangle, and the form asked how the pond drainage was set up. (I think there were choices, like spillway or syphon etc.) I picked syphon. I remember it asking about where the pond water went after it passed through the syphon. Choices were given on the form. In my case I chose pasture. That's was all there was to it. I received the permit with no comments from the TPW about any form of excluders. Excluders were NOT required for me to receive the permit. I think it was all about where the pond drains, if near a river or such. And I am one mile from the only Natural Lake in Texas. These carp are Sterile !! And Frank, There is no such thing as "too lose government intrusion into our ponds in Texas".
