DOE/EIS-0348 DOE/EIS-0236-S3 Final Site-wide Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Operation of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Supplemental Stockpile Stewardship and Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement March 2005 Volume III Appendix E through P Prepared by: COVER SHEET RESPONSIBLE AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration TITLE: Final Site-wide Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Operation of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Supplemental Stockpile Stewardship and Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-0348 and DOE/EIS-0236-S3) CONTACT: For further information on this EIS, For general information on the DOE Call: 1-877-388-4930, or contact National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, write or call: Thomas Grim Carol Borgstrom, Director Livermore Site Office Document Manager Office of NEPA Policy and Compliance NNSA (EH-42) 7000 East Avenue U.S. Department of Energy MS L-293 1000 Independence Avenue, SW Livermore, CA 94550-9234 Washington, DC 20585 (925) 422-0704 (202) 586-4600 (925) 422-1776 fax or leave a message at 1-800-472-2756 Abstract: The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a separately organized agency within DOE, has the responsibility to maintain and enhance the safety, reliability, and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile to meet national security requirements. NNSA manages DOE’s nuclear weapons programs and facilities, including those at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The continued operation of LLNL is critical to NNSA’s Stockpile Stewardship Program and to preventing the spread and use of nuclear weapons worldwide. LLNL maintains core competencies in activities associated with research and development, design, and surveillance of nuclear weapons, as well as the assessment and certification of their safety and reliability. This Site-wide Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Operation of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Supplemental Stockpile Stewardship and Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (LLNL SW/SPEIS) prepared pursuant to NEPA, analyzes the potential environmental impacts of continued operation, including near term proposed projects of LLNL. Alternatives analyzed in this LLNL SW/SPEIS include the No Action Alternative, the Proposed Action, and the Reduced Operation Alternative. This document is also a Supplement to the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Stockpile Stewardship and Management for use of proposed materials at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). This combination ensures timely analysis of the reasonably foreseeable environmental impact of NIF experiments using the proposed materials concurrent with the environmental analyses being conducted for the site-wide activities and will be referred to as the LLNL SW/SPEIS. This document assesses the environmental impacts of LLNL operations on land uses and applicable plans, socioeconomic characteristics and environmental justice, community services, prehistoric and historic cultural resources, aesthetics and scenic resources, geology and soils, biological resources, water, noise, traffic and transportation, utilities and energy, materials and waste management, human health and safety, site contamination, and accidents. For this Final LLNL SW/SPEIS the Proposed Action has been identified as the preferred alternative for the continuing operations of LLNL. Public Comments: The Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS was issued for public review and comment on February 27, 2004. The public comment period was held from February 27, 2004 to May 27, 2004. Public meetings to solicit comments on the Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS were held in Livermore, California; Tracy, California; and Washington, D.C. All comments were considered during the preparation of the Final LLNL SW/SPEIS, which also incorporates additional and new information received since the issuance of the Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS. In response to comments on the Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS, the Final LLNL SW/SPEIS contains revisions and new information. These revisions and new information are indicated by a sidebar in the margin. Volume IV contains the comments received during the public comment period on the Draft LLNL SW/SPEIS and NNSA’s responses to these comments. NNSA will use the analyses presented in this Final LLNL SW/SPEIS as well as other information in preparing the Record of Decision (ROD). NNSA will issue this ROD no sooner than 30 days after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency publishes a notice of availability of this Final LLNL SW/SPEIS in the Federal Register.

BROMEN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee: John M. Tomeček Co-Chair of Committee: Nova J. Silvy Committee Member: Fred E. Smeins Head of Department: Michael P. Masser December 2017 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2017 Nick Bromen ABSTRACT The use of livestock protection dogs (LPDs; Canis lupus familiaris) to deter predators from preying upon sheep and goat herds continues to increase across the United States. Most research regarding the efficacy of LPDs has been based on queries of rancher satisfaction with their performance, yet little is known regarding whether LPDs actually displace the predators they are commissioned to protect livestock from. Here, I examined whether the presence of LPDs amid livestock resulted in fewer observable detections of carnivores in pastures they occupied throughout 1 year on a ranch in central Texas. To detect and quantify the presence of carnivores across the ranch, a remote camera grid and scat transects were simultaneously surveyed to compare results produced between each method. Four LPDs were fitted with GPS collars to collect their positions and evaluate their occupancy across the ranch over time. These GPS collars also collected proximity data on a random sample of UHF collared sheep (n = 40) and goats (n = 20) to gauge the frequency to which the LPDs were near livestock.

Large carnivores’ fear of the human ‘super predator’ has the potential to alter their feeding behaviour and result in human-induced trophic cascades. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2017.0433 However, it has yet to be experimentally tested if large carnivores perceive humans as predators and react strongly enough to have cascading effects on their prey.

We found that pumas fled more frequently, took longer to return, and reduced their overall feeding time by more than half in response to hearing the human ‘super predator’.

  • Fear of Large Carnivores Causes a Trophic Cascade

    Fear of Large Carnivores Causes a Trophic Cascade

    ARTICLE Received 18 Sep 2015 | Accepted 12 Jan 2016 | Published 23 Feb 2016 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms10698 OPEN Fear of large carnivores causes a trophic cascade Justin P. Suraci1,2,3, Michael Clinchy3, Lawrence M. Dill4, Devin Roberts1 & Liana Y. Zanette3 The fear large carnivores inspire, independent of their direct killing of prey, may itself cause cascading effects down food webs potentially critical for conserving ecosystem function, particularly by affecting large herbivores and mesocarnivores. However, the evidence of this has been repeatedly challenged because it remains experimentally untested. Here we show that experimentally manipulating fear itself in free-living mesocarnivore (raccoon) populations using month-long playbacks of large carnivore vocalizations caused just such cascading effects, reducing mesocarnivore foraging to the benefit of the mesocarnivore’s prey, which in turn affected a competitor and prey of the mesocarnivore’s prey. We further report that by experimentally restoring the fear of large carnivores in our study system, where most large carnivores have been extirpated, we succeeded in reversing this mesocarnivore’s impacts. We suggest that our results reinforce the need to conserve large carnivores given the significant ‘‘ecosystem service’’ the fear of them provides. 1 Department of Biology, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada V8W 2Y2. 2 Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Sidney, British Columbia, Canada V8L 3Y3. 3 Department of Biology, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada
