“…1993). OntheHanford Site, deer are also of interest to environmental monitoring programs because they can provide useful information that can be used in contaminant cleanup efforts (Eberhardt and Cadwell 1983, (December-February) to get a precise estimate of the ratio of bucks (antlered deer) to adult females (adult antlerless deer) and the ratio of fawns to adult female deer. The buck-to-doe ratios seen in this region have remained relatively stable since 1993 (20 to 40 bucks per 100 does) and are higher than ratios typically observed throughout the northwest (10 to 30 bucks per 100 does).…”

“…Mule deer are of interest to radiation monitoring programs because they can provide useful information relating to contamination sites and subsequent cleanup efforts (Eberhardt and Cadwell 1983). Additionally, mule deer are often hunted and eaten and can contribute to the annual radiation dose received by a private citizen (Soldat et al 1990).…”

(Ecology), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to collect data u s e l l for protectingwildlife and plants and for landuse planning. Census data and results of surveys and special study topics are shared freely among cooperating agencies. Special studies are also conducted as needed to provide additional information that may be required to assess, protect, or manage wildlife resources at Hanford. This report describes highlights of wildlife studies on the Site in 1994. Redd counts of fall chinook salmon in the HanfordReach suggest that harvest restrictions directed at protecting Snake River salmon may have helped Columbia River stocks as well. The 1994 count (5619) was nearly double that of 1993 and about 63% of the1989 high of approximately 9000.A habit& map showing major vegetation and land use cover types for the Hanford Site was completed in 1993. During 1994, stochastic simulation was used to estimate shrub characteristics (height, density, and canopy cover) across the previously mapped Hanford landscape. The information provided will be available for use in determining habitat quality for sensitive wildlife species. Mapping Site locations of plant species of concern continued during 1994. Additional sensitive plant species data from surveys conducted by TNC were archived.

“…Extensive advancements in the field of radiotelemetry have made it possible to radio tag many wildlife species to verify site use by individuals. This method allows for the selection of only those individuals with a residence history in the site of interest [70,71]. Radiotelemetry allows individuals to be located repeatedly for collection and measurement or for observations of activity and survival.…”

Ecological risk assessment of wildlife exposed to agrochemicals addresses hazard and exposure to at least qualify and attempt to quantify the ecological risk. To accomplish a present‐day ecological risk assessment in wildlife toxicology, data must be available from several disciplines: annlytical toxicology/environmental chemistry, biochemical toxicology, and wildlife ecology/ecotoxicology. This interdisciplinary approach, essential in wildlife toxicology for the assessment of the chemical effects on the reproduction, health, and well‐being of wildlife, makes it difficult to rapidly generate the data necessary for ecological risk assessments. However, as the field has evoloed, it has become clear that interdisciplinary cooperation is critical to provide the complex data sets required for the registration and reregistration of pesticide products by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The science of ecological risk assessment for terrestrial wildlife exposed to agrochemicals advanced rapidly during the decade of the 1980s and into the 1990s. The ecological risk assessment process will continue to improve as a result of improved data sets available for conduct of such assessments. Addressing the ecological risks associated with the use of an agricultural chemical involves a complex array of laboratory and field studies, in essence, a research program.
