Federal law requires a non-federal landowner who wishes to conduct activities that may harm (“take”) threatened or endangered wildlife on their land to obtain an incidental take permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. State law requires a non-federal public landowner who wishes to conduct activities that may harm threatened or endangered plants to obtain a permit from the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

In 1954, the committee consisted of Donald F. Hoffmeister, Chairman, William H. Burt, W. Robert Eadie, E. Raymond Hall, and Ralph S. Palmer. Correspondence between the chairman (Hoffmeister) and mem- bers of the committee enabled him to prepare, as of January 4, 1954, a list of vernacular names. He circulated this list to members of the committee. On June 16, 1954, the committee met at the Annual Meeting of the Society, (1) decided to propose vernacular names for species, (2) decided not to propose names for subspecies, (3) decided to deal only with the species that occurred north of Mexico, (4) selected many names, and (5) failed to select names for some species. On the basis of the partial list that resulted from the meeting in 1954, the Chairman of the Committee on Nomenclature (Hall), answered inquiries in 1955 and 1956 from several members concern- ing vernacular names.

  • The Use of Aluminum Phosphide in Wildlife Damage Management
    Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment for the Use of Wildlife Damage Management Methods by USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services Chapter IX The Use of Aluminum Phosphide in Wildlife Damage Management July 2017 Peer Reviewed Final March 2020 THE USE OF ALUMINUM PHOSPHIDE IN WILDLIFE DAMAGE MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aluminum phosphide is a fumigant used by USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services (WS) to control various burrowing rodents and moles. Formulations for burrow treatments are in 3-g tablets or 600-mg pellets containing about 56% active ingredient. WS applicators place the tablets or pellets into the target species’ burrow and seal the burrow entrance with soil. Aluminum phosphide reacts with moisture in burrows to release phosphine gas, which is the toxin in the fumigant. WS applicators used aluminum phosphide to take 19 species of rodents and moles between FY11 and FY15 and treated an annual average of including prairie dogs, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, voles, and moles. WS annually averaged the known take of 54,095 target rodents and an estimated 2,333 vertebrate nontarget species with aluminum phosphide in 9 states. An average of 58,329 burrows was treated with the primary target species being black-tailed and Gunnison’s prairie dogs. APHIS evaluated the human health and ecological risk of aluminum phosphide under the WS use pattern for rodent and mole control. Although phosphine gas is toxic to humans, the risk to human health is low because inhalation exposure is slight for the underground applications. WS applicators wear proper personal protective equipment according to the pesticide label requirements, which reduces their exposure to aluminum phosphide and phosphine gas, and lowers the risk to their health.

  • Facts About Washington's Moles
    Moles Though moles are the bane of many lawn owners, they make a significant positive contribution to the health of the landscape. Their extensive tunneling and mound building mixes soil nutrients and improves soil aeration and drainage. Moles also eat many lawn and garden pests, including cranefly larvae and slugs. Moles spend almost their entire lives underground and have Figure 1. Moles have broad front feet, the toes of much in common with pocket gophers—small weak eyes, which terminate in stout claws faced outward for small hips for turning around in tight places, and velvety fur digging. The Pacific or coast mole is shown here. that is reversible to make backing up easy. Moles also have (From Christensen and Larrison, Mammals of Washington: broad front feet, the toes of which terminate in stout claws A Pictorial Introduction.) faced outward for digging (Fig. 1). (The Chehalis Indian word for mole translates into “hands turned backward.”) However, moles are predators of worms and grubs, while gophers are herbivores. (See comparison of their scull shapes in Figure 2.) Three species of moles occur in the Washington. Curiously, moles occur on only a few of the islands in Puget Sound. At a total length of 8 to 9 inches, the slate black Townsend mole (Scapanus townsendii), is the largest mole species in North America. It occurs in meadows, fields, pastures, lawns, and golf courses west of the Cascade mountains. The Pacific mole (Scapanus orarius, Fig. 1), also known as the coast mole, is similar in appearance to the Townsend mole, and ranges from 6 to 7 inches in total length.
