  • Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Habitat Management Plan
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Habitat Management Plan 1 The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System is to administer a national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management, and, where appropriate, restoration of the fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats within the United States for the benefit of present and future generations. CITATION: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2013. Draft Habitat Management Plan : Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. Commerce City, Colorado: U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. vi., 143 p. i Executive Summary Located approximately ten miles from downtown Denver, the land (15,988 acres) within the acquisition boundary of Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge (RMANWR) has a well-documented history of significant environmental disturbance and contamination. The primary causes of degradation were the manufacture of chemical weapons by the U.S. Army from the World War II through Vietnam eras and the production of pesticides by Shell Oil Company in the 1980’s. Given the extent and type of degradation, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified the need for these lands to be remediated in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA, also commonly known as Superfund) to ensure standards for human health and the environment are met prior to transferring ownership to the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) for management as a National Wildlife Refuge.
