Abstract: A farm-level risk programming framework is presented
which evaluates income/environmental risk tradeoffs. This
framework uses a time-series of environmental risk indices to
incorporate the stochastics, multiattribute characteristics of
environmental outcomes associated with agricultural production
practice. The model is applied to a representative farm in the
Oklahoma Panhandle region of the Central High Plains. Results
indicate that expected income is sensitive to nitrate loading
restrictions, and relatively less sensitive to pesticide loading
restrictions. Results also indicate that prescriptions derived
using deterministic environmental risk measures may ignore
significant probabilities of exceeding an environmental standard.

Abstract: In many regions the use of groundwater for water supply
is limited by the increase in contamination of aquifers. The
problem of contamination requires the development of new
approaches in assessing areas in which groundwater is vulnerable
to contamination. A brief analysis of the present day level of
methods for regional evaluation and mapping of areas in which
groundwater is vulnerable is presented.

Abstract: The usefulness of common snapping turtles (Chelydra
serpentina) as biomonitors of lead (Pb) contamination of aquatic
ecosystems was assessed. Thirty-seven snapping turtles were
collected from three sites on the Big River, an Ozarkian stream
contaminated with Pb mine tailings. Morphometric measurements,
tissue Pb concentrations (muscle, blood, bone, carapace, brain,
and Over), delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (delta-ALAD)
activity, hematocrit, hemoglobin, plasma glucose, osmolality, and
chloride ion content were measured. The data showed no effects of
Pb contamination on capture success or morphological
measurements. Tissue Pb concentrations were related to capture
location. Hematocrit, plasma osmolality, plasma glucose, and
plasma chloride ion content were not significantly different with
respect to capture location. The delta-ALAD activity levels were
decreased in turtles taken from contaminated sites. Lead levels
in the Big River do not appear to be adversely affecting the
snapping turtles of the river. Chelydra serpentina is a useful
species for biomonitoring of Pb-contaminated aquatic
environments.
