Antietam & Monocacy National Battlefields - CWD Detection & Initial Response Plan/EA

Antietam and Monocacy National Battlefields (the battlefields) have prepared a plan and environmental assessment (plan/EA) for Chronic Wasting Disease Detection and Initial Response. The plan/EA outlines a range of strategies for the detection of and initial response to chronic wasting disease (CWD) in white-tailed deer in the battlefields. At present, CWD has not been detected in the battlefields. However, the disease has been detected near the park units and may threaten park resources.

The purpose of the plan/EA is to develop a range of strategies for the detection of and initial response to CWD in white-tailed deer at Antietam and Monocacy National Battlefields, since the disease has been detected near the park units and may threaten park resources.
