Descriptors: water-quality; farm-income; environmental-protection; risk-; agricultural-production; nitrates-; pesticides-; percolation-; runoff-; motad-; regulation-; stochastic-processes; indexes-; oklahoma-; target-motad 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.

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. NAL Call No.: QH545.A1E58 ***************************************************************** 52.
