WEAVER MEATS IS A FAMILY-OWNED SLAUGHTER AND PROCESSING PLANT IN AFTON, IOWA. WE ARE THE ONLY STATE INSPECTED LOCKER WITHIN 65 MILES AND THERE IS NO USDA LOCKER FOR APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES. WE SELL RETAIL PRODUCTS AND MAINTAIN SMALL WHOLESALE ACCOUNTS. OUR FACILITY AIMS TO GROW SALES BY $3 MILLION DURING THIS GRANT PERIOD THANKS TO EQUIPMENT AND FACILITY UPGRADES THAT WILL HELP US BE A PARTICIPANT IN THE COOPERATIVE INTERSTATE SHIPMENT PROGRAM. HOWEVER, TO MEET CIS REQUIREMENTS, OUR FACILITY REQUIRES EQUIPMENT AND FACILITY UPGRADES CURRENTLY BEYOND OUR REACH. WITH THIS GRANT, WE FIRST PROPOSE TO ADD A 1,000 SQ. FT. ATTACHMENT TO OUR SLAUGHTER FLOOR TO MAINTAIN HUMANE HANDLING AND SLAUGHTER AT A HIGHER THROUGHPUT. TO MEET FSIS STANDARDS ON WORKPLACE AND FOOD SAFETY AND TO IMPROVE OUR EFFICIENCY, WE WILL ALSO ADD A SECOND SKINNING STATION AND ADDITIONAL INEDIBLE COOLER SPACE TO HANDLE THE INCREASE IN ANIMALS AND INEDIBLE WASTE. WE EXPECT THIS ADDITION IN COMBINATION WITH A MODERN, FOOD SAFE GRINDER AND EXPANDED 180 SQ. FT. COOKED MEATS COOLER TO INCREASE OUR OUTPUT FROM 18 TO 30 BEEF CATTLE PER WEEK AND 16 TO 30 HOGS PER WEEK, WHICH WOULD GIVE A NEW MARKET ACCESS POINT TO ABOUT 200 FARMERS. ASIDE FROM GROWING OUR THROUGHPUT CAPACITY, THIS COOLER WILL HELP US MEET FSIS REQUIREMENTS ON SEPARATION OF PRODUCTS. THIS INCREASE IN OUTPUT WOULD ALSO ALLOW US TO CREATE 8 JOBS THANKS TO AROUND A 90 TO 100 PERCENT INCREASE IN OUR WHOLESALE AND RETAIL SALES.

RECENT COLONY LOSSES EXPERIENCED BY BEEKEEPERS ARE UNSUSTAINABLE, AND CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE, REACHING ANNUAL AVERAGES OF 25-50% COLONY MORTALITY FOR MOST PARTS OF THE US IN 2020/2021 (SEE MAP BELOW). DEFORMED WING VIRUS (DWV) IS A PRINCIPAL PATHOGEN OF HONEY BEES, AND DWV LEADS TO DEVASTATING MORPHOLOGICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL, IMMUNOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL IMPACTS THAT KILL SYMPTOMATIC BEES, WEAKENS, REDUCE THE LIFESPAN AND ALTERS THE BEHAVIOR OF ASYMPTOMATIC BEES, AND RESULTS IN SEVERE COLONY MORBIDITY AND EVENTUALLY COLONY MORTALITY. DWV IS VECTORED BY THE PARASITIC MITE VARROA DESTRUCTOR, AND DWV HAS BECOME MORE VIRULENT AND PREVALENT SINCE THE ARRIVAL AND SPREAD OF VARROA MITES ACROSS THE US. DWV IS THE PATHOGEN MOST CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER (CCD) AND THE EXTREMELY HIGH RECURRENT ANNUAL COLONY MORTALITY EXPERIENCED BY BEEKEEPERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY. DWV, CCD AND ELEVATED POLLINATOR MORTALITY THREATEN POLLINATION OF CROPS AND OTHER PLANTS DEPENDENT UPON HONEY BEES AND NATIVE HYMENOPTERAN POLLINATORS (WHICH ARE ALSO AFFECTED BY DWV). APICULTURISTS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INCREASINGLY SEVERE AND UNSUSTAINABLE COLONY LOSSES, WITH DWV AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN THE GROWING NUMBERS OF COLLAPSED COLONIES EACH YEAR. NOTABLY, THE INCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE OF DWV, INCLUDING NEW AND MORE PATHOGENIC QUASI-SPECIES OF DWV CONTINUE TO GROW AND THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT TREND WILL PERSIST.FORTUNATELY, BEEWEAVER BEES EXHIBIT SIGNIFICANT LEVELS OF DWV RESISTANCE. BEEWEAVER BEES CARRY LOWER LATENT DWV LOADS AND DWV VIRAL TITERS IN BEEWEAVER COLONIES DO NOT INCREASE WHEN VARROA MITES ARE PRESENT. THIS EXISTING GENETIC RESOURCE IS A STARTING POINT TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE QUEENS THAT HAVE HIGHER AND MORE CONSISTENT LEVELS OF DWV RESISTANCE. WE PROPOSE A PHASE I USDA SBIR PROJECT TO DEVELOP AND DEPLOY A SIMPLE, NONLETHAL, RAPID AND HIGH THROUGHPUT SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY HONEY BEE DRONES AND VIRGIN QUEENS HARBORING TRAITS CONFERRING ELEVATED DWV RESISTANCE, AND THEN USE THOSE SELECTED DRONES AND QUEENS TO PRODUCE SUCCEEDING GENERATIONS OF HONEY BEES (APIS MELLIFERA) AND HONEY BEE QUEENS THAT EXHIBIT ENHANCED DWV RESISTANCE AND DO NOT SUCCUMB TO DWV INFECTION.THE PROJECT HAS TWO MAJOR TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES: 1) DEMONSTRATE A FAST, NONLETHAL METHOD FOR SCREENING AND SELECTING VIRUS RESISTANT HONEY BEE DRONES (DRONES THAT DO NOT DEVELOP HIGH DEFORMED WING VIRUS (DWV) TITERS AFTER DWV INJECTION); AND, 2) INSEMINATE QUEENS USING SEMEN FROM DRONES WITH CONFIRMED DWV RESISTANCE AND PROPAGATE SUBSEQUENT GENERATIONS OF HONEY BEES THAT EXHIBIT ENHANCED VIRAL RESISTANCE.THE BEEWEAVER POPULATION HAS SIGNIFICANT, THOUGH VARIABLE, DWV RESISTANCE, DEMONSTRATING THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCING HIGHLY DWV RESISTANT BEES IS WITHIN REACH. THESE BEEWEAVER BEES ARE A GENETIC RESOURCE DEVELOPED BY THE PI. THE TARGET FOR PHASE I IS TO ACCELERATE PRODUCTION OF QUEENS WITH ENHANCED AND MORE UNIFORM DWV RESISTANCE. BEEWEAVER HAS THE CAPABILITY, EQUIPMENT, COLONIES AND MATING NUCLEI TO REAR AND PRODUCE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF QUEENS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DRONES TO COMMERCIALIZE THIS STRAIN AND SELL QUEENS TO BEEKEEPERS ACROSS THE US. THESE GENETIC AND QUEEN PRODUCTION ASSETS WILL FACILITATE THIS PHASE I PROJECT TO PRODUCE QUEENS THAT RELIABLY RESIST DWV INFECTION. PROVIDING QUEENS THAT ENDOW COLONIES WITH DWV RESISTANCE, AND THUS INCREASE COLONY SURVIVAL DESPITE THE UBIQUITOUS PREVALENCE OF DWV, WILL BE FURTHER COMMERCIALIZED IN PHASE II AND OFFERED FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC AT THE CONCLUSION OF PHASE II. THE END PRODUCT WILL BE QUEENS WITH ELEVATED AND CONSISTENT LEVELS OF DWV RESISTANCE. QUEENS CARRYING TRAITS CONFERRING RESISTANCE TO DWV WILL BE OFFERED FOR SALE - BOTH TO QUEEN BREEDERS (TO INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF DWV RESISTANT QUEENS, SWARMS, NUCLEI AND COLONIES BEYOND WHAT BEEWEAVER CAN PRODUCE), AND TO BEEKEEPERS THROUGHOUT THE US TO INSTALL IN THEIR HIVES, REDUCING DWV INFECTION AND THE COLONY MORTALITY IT INFLICTS.

1. PERFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) ARE WIDESPREAD ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS IN THE UNITED STATES (US) AND ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD. ALTHOUGH PFAS COMPOUNDS HAVE BEEN USED FOR DECADES IN INDUSTRY AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS, SUCH AS IN NONSTICK COOKWARE, FOOD PACKAGING, WATERPROOF JACKETS, CARPETS, FURNITURE, AS WELL AS A COMPONENT IN FIREFIGHTING FOAMS USED AT COMMERCIAL AIRPORTS AND MILITARY BASES. PFAS ARE CONSIDERED EMERGING CONTAMINANTS IN FOODS AND FOOD ANIMALS BECAUSE VERY FEW REGULATORY THRESHOLDS EXIST FOR PFAS IN FOODS. THE US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) HAS PROPOSED TO DESIGNATE PFAS COMPOUNDS AS HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT (CERCLA) WHICH WILL POTENTIALLY CLASSIFY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF SITES WITHIN THE US AS NEW CLEAN-UP SITES. CURRENT ESTIMATES SUGGEST THAT UP TO 57,000 SITES IN THE US ARE CONTAMINATED WITH PFAS AND IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE FREQUENCY OF DISCOVERING ON-FARM CONTAMINATION OF FOOD-ANIMALS WILL INCREASE AS TESTING BECOMES MORE COMMON. AT PRESENT THERE IS NO ECONOMICALLY VIABLE RECOURSE FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS WHOSE ANIMALS ARE CONTAMINATED WITH PFAS. TECHNOLOGIES TO TREAT PFAS CONTAMINATION FOR LIVE ANIMALS DO NOT EXIST AT THIS TIME, THOUGH IT IS KNOWN THAT HUMANS GET MOST OF THEIR PFAS CONTAMINATION FROM THEIR DIET. TOTAL REMEDIATION OF PFAS WILL REQUIRE CLEAN UP OF PFAS FROM WATER, ANIMALS. AND SOIL. THIS PROPOSAL IS A MATERIAL THAT TARGETS TREATING AND/OR PREVENTING PFAS CONTAMINATION IN LIVESTOCK TO IMPROVE THE ANIMAL PRODUCTS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.2. TWO STUDIES WILL BE CONDUCTED SIMULTANEOUSLY TO DETERMINE THE PERFORMANCE OF FLUOR MOP MATERIAL AT TREATING PFAS CONTAMINATION AND DETERMINE THE PERFORMANCE AT REDUCING PFAS IN ALREADY CONTAMINATED ANIMALS. BOTH OF THESE SCENARIOS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR OUTSIDE OF A CONTROLLED STUDY AND THEY WILL EACH PROVIDE VALUABLE INFORMATION. BROILER CHICKENS WILL BE USED IN THE STUDY FOR PREVENTING PFAS CONTAMINATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE RELATIVELY SHORT LIFESPANS BEFORE HARVEST (~7 WEEKS). THE BROILER CHICKENS WILL BE GIVEN CONTAMINATED WATER AND THEN THEY WILL BE GIVEN FEED THAT HAS BEEN MIXED WITH THE FLUOR MOP MATERIAL FOR TREATMENT AT DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS. AT THE END OF 7 WEEKS, MUSCLE, LIVER, AND TISSUE WILL BE COLLECTED AND TESTED FOR 11 DIFFERENT PFAS THAT ARE KNOWN TO ACCUMULATE IN CHICKENS. THIS STUDY WILL ALSO INFORM US HOW MUCH FLUOR MOP MATERIAL IS NEEDED TO KEEP PFAS FROM ACCUMULATING IN THE BROILERS. THIS INFORMATION CAN BE SCALED TO OTHER ANIMALS AND PROVIDES EVIDENCE FLUOR MOP CAN PREVENT PFAS CONTAMINATION.TO ACCESS THE ABILITY OF FLUOR MOP TO REDUCE PFAS LEVELS IN ALREADY CONTAMINATED ANIMALS, LAYING HENS WILL BE USED SINCE THEY HAVE A LONGER PRODUCTION CYCLE AND THE EGGS CAN BE TESTED AS WELL SINCE IT IS KNOWN PFAS CAN PASS FROM THE HENS TO THE EGGS. HENS WILL BE EXPOSED FOR TWO WEEKS TO CONTAMINATED WATER AND THEN GIVEN CLEAN DRINKING WATER AND EGGS WILL CONTINUALLY BE COLLECTED AN,D FROZEN UNTIL TESTING. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF CONTAMINATED WATER, CLEAN DRINKING WATER WILL BE PROVIDED AND FOOD WITH FLUOR MOP ADDED WILL BE GIVEN TO THE LAYING HENS FOR 28 DAYS AT WHICH POINT THE STUDY WILL CONCLUDE. LAYING HENS WILL BE EUTHANIZED AND THEIR LIVER, PLASMA, MUSCLE TISSUE AND PREVIOUSLY COLLECTED EGGS WILL BE TESTED FOR THE SAME 11 DIFFERENT PFAS AS IN THE FIRST STUDY. THIS WILL DETERMINE THE ABILITY OF FLUOR MOP TO REDUCE PFAS LEVELS IN AN ALREADY CONTAMINATED ANIMAL. DURING BOTH STUDIES TESTING WILL BE DONE TO ENSURE FLUOR MOP IS NOT ABSORBED OR RETAINED BY THE ANIMAL.3. COMPLETION OF THESE STUDIES WILL PROVIDE PROOF THAT FLUOR MOP MATERIAL CAN BE USED TO PREVENT AND/OR TREAT PFAS IN CHICKENS/LAYING HENS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR LARGER STUDIES ON OTHER LIVESTOCK LIKE DAIRY AND BEEF COWS, GOATS, AND PIGS. GOOD PERFORMANCE OF FLUOR MOP WITH OTHER ANIMALS WOULD MEAN IT IS THE FIRST TREATMENT/PREVENTION METHOD FOR PFAS CONTAMINATION IN LIVESTOCK. THIS WOULD MEAN HEALTHIER ANIMAL PRODUCTS FOR PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD AND WOULD GIVE FARMERS A SIMPLE FOOD ADDITIVE TREATMENT OPTION FOR THEIR LIVESTOCK THAT HAVE PFAS CONTAMINATION, A PROBLEM THAT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME LARGER WITH MORE TESTING.

DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMERCIAL ASSAY FOR THE RAPID AND GENERAL DETECTION OF PFAS IN ENVIRONMENTAL MATRICES (PHASE I) - ABSTRACT POLYFLUORO- AND PERFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) ARE A GROUP OF HIGHLY FLUORINATED ALKANES. MEMBERS OF THIS FAMILY ARE KNOWN TO BE PERSISTENT AND BIOACCUMULATIVE. PFAS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH UNFAVORABLE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN HUMAN AND ANIMAL MODELS. SEVERAL PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES AS WELL AS SCIENTISTS HAVE PUBLISHED ARTICLES THAT INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF PFAS IN HUMAN BLOOD, SERUM, MILK, CORD BLOOD, AND TISSUES. CURRENTLY, DETECTION OF ABOUT A DOZEN OF THESE CHEMICALS OUT OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND OF THIS CLASS IS PERFORMED USING LCMS/MS. HOWEVER, PRIOR TO ANALYSIS MANY PURIFICATION STEPS ARE REQUIRED TO ELIMINATE INTERFERING SPECIES. FURTHERMORE, THE NECESSITY OF INTERNAL STANDARDS FOR THE DETECTION OF PFAS, AND THE LACK OF PERTINENT INTERNAL STANDARDS DRAMATICALLY REDUCES THE SCOPE OF PFAS-DETECTION. CURRENTLY, PFAS TESTING IS A LENGTHY AND COSTLY UNDERTAKING THAT REPRESENTS A MAJOR SCIENTIFIC BOTTLENECK. THUS, THERE IS AN URGENT NEED FOR A REAL-TIME DETECTION TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN SENSE A BROAD RANGE OF PFAS WITHOUT PRETREATMENT OF SAMPLE, OR EXPENSIVE INSTRUMENTATION. IMPLEMENTATION OF SUCH A PRODUCT WILL ALLOW BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE FATE OF PFAS WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR IMPACT ON HUMAN HEALTH. THIS PROPOSAL’S OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP THE PRE-TREATMENT FREE DETECTION OF PFAS IN ENVIRONMENTAL MATRICES BY COUPLING THE KEY FLUOROUS PHASE PROPERTY WITH A HIGHLY SENSITIVE FLUORESCENCE TECHNOLOGY. IN PHASE 1, WE WILL APPLY THE SPECIFIC FLUOROUS-FLUOROUS INTERACTION STRATEGY TO PROVIDE THE ADEQUATE SELECTIVITY TO PRECLUDE ANY ASSOCIATED PURIFICATION STEPS. FLUOROUS TETHERED FLUORESCENT DYES WILL BE COVALENTLY IMMOBILIZED ON A GLASS SURFACE. INITIALLY, PRIOR TO EXPOSURE TO PFAS, THESE FLUORESCENT DYES WILL EXIST AS EXCIMERS RESULTING FROM THEIR CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER, THE FLUORESCENT PROBE TURNS THE FLUORESCENCE ON. UPON EXPOSURE TO PFAS ANALYTES, THE ANALYTES WILL BE SEQUESTERED TO THE FLUOROUS REGION OF THE PROBE DUE TO SPECIFIC FLUOROUS-FLUOROUS AFFINITY. THIS WILL CAUSE A PHYSICAL DISRUPTION OF THE EXCIMERS, RESULTING IN THE FLUORESCENCE TURN OFF OF THE EXCIMER AND A SIMULTANEOUS TURN ON OF THE MONOMER EMISSION. TO ACHIEVE THE PROPOSED GOAL, IN PHASE I THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIC AIMS WILL BE PURSUED: SPECIFIC AIM1: 1) ATTACHMENT OF THE FLUORESCENT DYE TO THE FLUOROUS MOLECULE, 2) IMMOBILIZATION OF FLUOROUS-DYE ARRAY ON GLASS SURFACE, AND 3) EVALUATION OF FLUORESCENCE ON-OFF OF FLUOROUS-DYE GLASS SURFACE WITH PFAS-SAMPLES. ULTIMATELY THE APPROACH DEVELOPED HERE WILL LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PRODUCT THAT IS EXPECTED TO ENABLE A BROAD RANGE OF RESEARCHERS TO STUDY MANY TYPES OF EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH CAUSED BY PFAS.

DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH AFFINITY NOVEL FLUOR MOP ADSORBENT FOR THE RAPID REMOVAL OF PERFLUORINATED CHEMICALS FROM GROUNDWATER - PERFLUORINATED ALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS), NICKNAMED “FOREVER CHEMICALS”, ARE EXTENSIVELY USED IN INDUSTRIES AND FIREFIGHTING APPLICATIONS AS A COMPONENT OF AQUEOUS FILM FORMING FOAMS (AFFFS). BECAUSE MEMBERS OF THIS CLASS OF CHEMICALS ARE PERSISTENT, THEY ARE PREVALENT IN NATURE AND ARE DETECTED ACROSS THE GLOBE IN WATER, AIR, SOIL, PLANTS, ANIMALS, AND EVEN IN HUMAN MILK AND BLOOD. THEY ARE TOXIC TO HUMAN HEALTH, AND EVEN AT LOWER LEVELS ARE LINKED TO DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS IN INFANTS, LIVER TOXICITY, INCREASED RISK OF CERTAIN TYPES OF CANCER, IMMUNE SYSTEM IMPACTS, THYROID DISEASE, AND MANY OTHER HEALTH ISSUES. THEREFORE THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (USEPA) HAS RECENTLY SET HEALTH ADVISORIES LEVEL FOR TWO PFAS, PERFLUOROOCTANOIC ACID (PFOA) AND PERFLUOROOCTANE SULFONATE (PFOS) AT 70 NG/L INDIVIDUALLY OR COMBINED. IN RESPONSE TO THE NEED FOR REMEDIATION OF PFAS CONTAMINATED WATER MANY TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BEEN SCRUTINIZED, INCLUDING ADSORPTION-BASED REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY. MOST NOTABLY, THE USE OF GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON (GAC) AND ION EXCHANGE RESINS SORBENTS. AMONG THESE, GAC IS THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED AND COMMONLY USED TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR PFAS CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER AND DRINKING WATER. HOWEVER, GAC HAS MANY DRAWBACKS FOR EXAMPLE ITS SUSCEPTIBILITY TO FOULING BY NATURAL ORGANIC MATTER, EXPENSIVE INTENSIVE HIGH ENERGY REGENERATION PROCESS, AND INFERIOR IN REMOVAL OF SHORT CHAIN PFAS. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE GAC IS NOT DESIGNED FOR PFAS ADSORPTION IT DISPLAYS ONLY LOW AFFINITY TOWARDS PFAS, THUS, IT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANTLY LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAC TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED PFAS LEVELS. THEREFORE, THERE IS A NEED FOR ADSORBENTS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE PFOA/PFOS REMOVAL IN EFFICIENT, COST-EFFECTIVE, AND RECYCLABLE MANNER. IN ONGOING RESEARCH, WEAVER LABS HAS DESIGNED NOVEL PFOA/PFOS SPECIFIC ADSORBENTS THAT LEVERAGE AN ADVANCED SOLID SUPPORT PLATFORM. IN THE PRELIMINARY ADSORPTION STUDIES, THE ADSORBENT DEMONSTRATED SUPERIOR PFOA/PFOS AFFINITY COMPARED TO GAC TECHNOLOGY USING PFOA/PFOS CONTAMINATED REAL WORLD GROUNDWATER. WEAVER LABS’ LONG-TERM GOAL FOR THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL PFAS SPECIFIC ADSORBENT FILTER THAT IS HIGHLY EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE, RECYCLABLE AND ECONOMICAL WHICH CAN BE UTILIZED TO PURIFY PFAS CONTAMINATED WATER. ULTIMATELY, IT WOULD ALLOW PURE WATER TO BE DELIVERED TO THE PUBLIC, THUS DECREASING THE HEALTH RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THESE CHEMICALS. TO MEET THE LONG-TERM GOAL THIS PROPOSAL’S OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP AND SCREEN NOVEL ADSORBENTS, CARRY OUT THE REQUIRED KINETIC ADSORPTION STUDY EXPERIMENTS, AND OPTIMIZE ITS REGENERATION AND REUSE. THE COMPLETION OF PROPOSED STUDY WILL POSITION US FOR PHASE II STUDIES, INCLUDING A RAPID SMALL-SCALE COLUMN STUDY, AND EVENTUAL PILOT STUDY.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ENHANCE AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF BIG-GAME WINTER RANGE AND MIGRATION CORRIDOR HABITAT WHILE SUPPORTING WILDLIFE HABITATS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LESSER PRAIRIE-CHICKEN (TYMPANUCHUS PALLIDICINCTUS). ADDITIONALLY, AN OVERARCHING GOAL OF THE RANCH IS TO MAINTAIN THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE AGRICULTURAL OPERATION BY LIVESTOCK GRAZING AND PRODUCING ALFALFA OTHER FORAGES TO SUPPORT THE WILDLIFE AND LIVESTOCKS FORAGE DEMANDS. THE OBJECTIVE FOR THIS PROJECT IS TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THREATS TO MULE DEER, PRONGHORN, AND LESSER PRAIRIE-CHICKEN. APPROXIMATELY 6.9 MILES OF OLD DILAPIDATED FENCE WILL BE REMOVED TO ALLOW FREE MOVEMENT OF WILDLIFE THROUGHOUT THESE AREAS. THE RECIPIENT WILL REMOVE, AND DISPOSAL OF FENCES IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN AND PROVIDE TO AN PROVIDE FINANCIAL COSTS IDENTIFIED IN THE BUDGET TABLE. THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROJECT ARE THE WILDLIFE THAT INHABIT THE RANCH, THE LANDOWNERS, AND THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO WHO DERIVE GRATIFICATION IN KNOWING THAT WILDLIFE HABITAT IS BEING CONSERVED.
