The 33,114-acre (13,400-ha) Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) was designated a Wildlife Management
Area (WMA) on November 30, 1984, through a cooperative agreement between the Tennessee Wildlife
Resources Agency (TWRA) and the Oak Ridge Operations (ORO) of the Department of Energy (DOE).
This management plan will (1) describe wildlife management on the ORR/WMA and (2) establish
long-term wildlife goals, with specific objectives for the period fiscal year (FY) 2007 through FY 2011.
This document updates and replaces Volume 27 of the Resource Management Plan for the ORR (Parr and
Evans 1992).
Management of wildlife on an area as large as the ORR is necessary to ensure public safety (e.g.,
reduce deer/vehicle collisions, reduce Canada goose/human interactions) and maximize wildlife health
and diversity. Maintaining important habitats is essential to the preservation of species in need of
management. Characterizing habitats and understanding wildlife requirements is necessary for making
decisions that could affect species or habitats and for evaluating potential impacts of proposed activities.
Information on the species and habitat types present, wildlife diversity, and protected habitat locations is
also essential in land-use planning and decision making. Additionally, information collected through the
wildlife program will be used in regional forest and wildlife management throughout the state.
This document provides the framework for compliance with state and federal laws currently in place
for the protection and management of wildlife populations on federal lands. In following the guidelines of
a formal wildlife management plan document, DOE shows that it recognizes the importance of protecting,
managing, and enhancing wildlife populations. Furthermore, the establishment of a formal plan provides
the basis for DOE to comply with guidelines and regulations pertaining to wildlife populations. Active
management and regular surveys of wildlife populations on the ORR attest to DOE’s commitment to the
protection of these populations, as is required under the applicable statutes.
