The last paragraph found in page 74 is simply not true; to say that only the No 

 Action Alternative would result in a negative impact is false. It impUes that all of 

 the other alternatives would not allow any accidental entry of possible pest 

 organisms. Your discussions under the different alternatives directly contradict 

 such a statement. For example, Alternative 3 - the non-treatment of packing 

 materials (green dunnage) was the most likely means of introduction of the pine 

 shoot beetle! This section must be rewritten and a careful comparison made of the 

 real risks involved.
