In accordance with the Cooperative Service Agreement 23 -73 -53 -5972 -RA (2021 signature year)
between Grant County Public Works Dept. -Ephrata Landfill and the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services
(WS), this Work Plan sets forth the objectives, activities and budget of this project during the
period of January 1, 2023 —December 31, 2023.
Program Obi ective
The program objective is to provide assistance to Ephrata Landfill when they experience conflicts
with wildlife. This assistance may be in the form of technical information (habitat management
or exclusion) or direct control (repulsion or selective removal).
Overall, the objectives of wildlife damage management are to:
• Reduce wildlife damage to a tolerable level,
• Use methods that are low risk for people, non -target animals, and the environment,
• Implement habitat modifications, exclusion, and/or direct control diligently and
economically,
• Use humane and ethical methods when capturing and/or removing wildlife.
Concerns exist with Ephrata Landfill regarding wildlife that may negatively impact the health and
safety of landfill employees and users, in addition to causing property damage to adjacent
landowners. The specific goal is to conduct a wildlife damage management program to protect
buildings, equipment, and human health and safety. This will be accomplished primarily by
reducing the presence of collared doves, gulls, pigeon, ravens, and starlings.
Plan of Action
The objectives and goals of the wildlife damage management activities will be accomplished in
the following manner:
1. WS will assign Wildlife Specialist(s) on an intermittent basis up to 480 hours for the duration
of this Work Plan. WS will provide the Wildlife Specialist(s) with a vehicle and the basic
APHIS Agreement No.: 23 -7353 -5972 -RA
WBS: AP.RA.RX53.73.0094
supplies and equipment. Ephrata Landfill understands additional supplies and equipment
may need to be purchased under this agreement to replace consumed, damaged or lost
supplies/equipment or for specialized situations. Any items not consumed by the end of the
agreement will remain in the possession of WS.
2. WS personnel will utilize a systematic approach to decision making referred to as the WS
Decision Model (WS Directive 2.201). Specialists assess the problem, evaluate management
methods, formulate management strategy, provide assistance, and monitor and evaluate
results.
3. When formulating a strategy and providing assistance, WS Specialists follow an Integrated
Wildlife Damage Management Approach (IWDM) (WS Directive 2.105). The IWDM
encompasses the integration and application of all approved methods of prevention and
management to reduce wildlife damage. The selection of wildlife damage management
methods and their application will consider the species causing damage, the magnitude,
geographic extent, duration, frequency, and likelihood of recurring damage.
The techniques and methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of cage traps, EPA -
registered toxicants, firearms, pyrotechnics, providing information on exclusion systems, and
identifying long-term habitat modifications. All activities will be planned and coordinated
with the Ephrata Landfill point of contact.
4. Work hours associated with these projects include, but are not limited to, direct control
activities, providing technical assistance, mandatory training, annual leave, sick leave, travel
to and from official duty station, administrative duties, and WS District office support.
WS will provide District office support to maximize effort from the field specialists. District
support includes, but is not limited to, time sheets, payroll, scheduling, supply procurement,
data management, obtaining necessary permits, permit reporting, permit renewals and
personnel management.
5. WS will cooperate with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, county and local city governments, and other entities to ensure compliance
with Federal laws and regulations and applicable State and local laws and regulations.
6. Wade Carlson, District Supervisor, Moses Lake, (509) 765-7962, will supervise this project.
It will be monitored by Mike Linnell, State Director, Olympia, WA, (360) 753-9884. The
financial point of contact for this Work Plan/Financial Plan is Michelle Rodriguez, Budget
Analyst, (360) 742-5496.
7. Grant County Public Works Dept.- Ephrata Landfill will be billed quarterly by WS only for
expenses incurred plus overhead and pooled job costs (combined on the bill as program
support). Salaries and benefits are defined as compensation for all hours worked, benefits,
differentials, hazardous duty allowances, annual leave, sick leave and award.
