  • Department of the Interior U.S
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE REGION 2 DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS CONTAMINANTS IN BIGHORN SHEEP ON THE KOFA NATIONAL WIL DLIFE REFUGE, 2000-2001 By Carrie H. Marr, Anthony L. Velasco1, and Ron Kearns2 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Arizona Ecological Services Office 2321 W. Royal Palm Road, Suite 103 Phoenix, Arizona 85021 August 2004 2 ABSTRACT Soils of abandoned mines on the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR) are contaminated with arsenic, barium, mercury, manganese, lead, and zinc. Previous studies have shown that trace element and metal concentrations in bats were elevated above threshold concentrations. High trace element and metal concentrations in bats suggested that bighorn sheep also may be exposed to these contaminants when using abandoned mines as resting areas. We found evidence of bighorn sheep use, bighorn sheep carcasses, and scat in several abandoned mines. To determine whether bighorn sheep are exposed to, and are accumulating hazardous levels of metals while using abandoned mines, we collected soil samples, as well as scat and bone samples when available. We compared mine soil concentrations to Arizona non-residential clean up levels. Hazard quotients were elevated in several mines and elevated for manganese in one Sheep Tank Mine sample. We analyzed bighorn sheep tissues for trace elements. We obtained blood, liver, and bone samples from hunter-harvested bighorn in 2000 and 2001. Arizona Game and Fish Department also collected blood from bighorn during a translocation operation in 2001. Iron and magnesium were elevated in tissues compared to reference literature concentrations in other species. Most often, domestic sheep baseline levels were used for comparison because of limited available data for bighorn sheep.

The SEZ has a 15 total area of 3,878 acres (16 km2). In 2008, the county population was 20,005, while adjacent 16 Riverside County to the west in California had a population of 2,087,917. The towns of 17 Quartzsite and Salome in La Paz County are about 18 mi (29 km) west of, and 18 mi (29 km) 18 east of, the SEZ respectively. The Phoenix metropolitan area is approximately 100 mi (161 km) 19 to the east of the SEZ, and Los Angeles is approximately 230 mi (370 km) to the west. 20 21 The nearest major road access to the SEZ is via U.S. 60, which runs southwest to 22 northeast, along the southeast border of the Brenda SEZ. The nearest railroad stop is 11 mi 23 (18 km) away. The nearest airports serving the area are the Blythe and Parker (Avi Suquilla) 24 Airports, both approximately 50 mi (80 km) from the SEZ, and neither of which have scheduled 25 commercial passenger service. The Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix is 125 mi (201 km) to the 26 east, and Yuma International Airport in Yuma is 104 mi (167 km) to the south, of the SEZ.
