New signs are intended to help the public understand the expanded use of public recreational and hunting activities on 1,986 acres of Department of Energy-owned land around the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
The changes took effect Jan. 1 after DOE signed a new five-year license agreement with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources for expanded use of DOE’s portion of the West Kentucky Wildlife Management Area (WKWMA).
Posted in May, the new signs replace yellow DOE no-trespassing signs and require people to check in daily at the WKWMA clubhouse before they use the land. Visitors are instructed to use one of three check-in boxes to fill out basic information cards and drop them in the lower part of the box.
