Upper Saddle River NJ, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Division of Sustainable Waste Management (DSWM) has reviewed information from the Division of Fish and Wildlife (F&W), New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and other Federal and State sources, and has prepared additional guidance for counties and municipalities regarding the handling and disposal of dead birds or wildlife suspected of infection with HPAI. Be advised that the cause of death should be considered HPAI unless there is evidence of an obvious trauma, or the dead birds are songbirds.
