Even on private property, these animals would still need to be registered. Even if someone had a small local pond that already had a colony, it would still be rather irresponsible to just toss them inthe wild after being captive for so long.
Like you said...no easy answer for this one..

>>Are there any locations on private property that you could send the RES to? Sometimes people with artificially constructed fish ponds enjoy several RES in them as well. I know that fish injury and escapes are two main issues to worry about in this option, but perhaps a few turtles could find the right conditions and avoid euthanasia.

I have seen several indoor facilities with water setups that would look nice with turtles in them. Along with adoption comes proper nutrition and lighting, so there isn't really an easy answer to go with on this issue.
