On July 12, 2020, a small, two-seat, experimental airplane made an emergency landing on the Rattlesnake Unit of the Hanford Reach National Monument (HRNM), which is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). USFWS proposes to extract the plane by lifting it by hand and placing it on a small, three-wheeled metal cart. The rubber-tired cart will then be attached to a two-mile long cable and winched downslope to the 1200-foot road.

In 2019, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) received funding to re-seed a portion of land affected by the L Road Fire, located in the Saddle Mountain Unit of Hanford Reach National Monument in Grant County, WA.

On February 4, 2019, the drill seeder operator unintentionally entered the boundaries of site #45GR318, damaging a portion of the site’s stratigraphic context.
