Abstract/Description
The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant was a uranium enrichment plant that is currently surrounded by the West Kentucky Wildlife Management Area. With a wildlife management area close in proximity to an industry, the biodiversity of the area may be affected. We conducted herpetofauna surveys in the area in an effort to add to monitoring efforts. We include all life stages and calls in our counts. The results and implications will be discussed.
