Summary
DOE requested the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Animal Damage Control program's assistance to identify potential wildlife hazards at the Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-East), prepare a comprehensive Wildlife Damage Management Plan, and to implement control actions pursuant to this management plan. APHIS prepared this environmental assessment to evaluate the potential impacts of managing wildlife at ANL-East to minimize safety hazards, environmental degredation, damage to laboratory facilities, and to maintain healthy wildlife populations.
DOE adopted this APHIS-prepared EA and issued a finding of no significant impact.
