Oregon Forests at Risk From the Rescissions Logging Rider 

 July 17, 1996 



20. Crazy 8's: Cutting has begun on 73 acres in two units of this 1991 



Scile. Two more uruts covering 59 acres are awaiting 

 their turn on the chopping block. 



21. Daffi Dora: Sixty six acres have already been cut despite the fact 



that surveys for murrelets were not done in those two 

 uruts. Unit 3 remaiiis standing, for now. 



22. Deep Creek: One hundred thirty acres are threatened to be logged 



in this 1991 sale. Unit 2 alone covers 93 acres of 

 potential murrelet habitat. 



23. Lobster Mil: Sold in 1991, Lobster Hill only recently lost 166 acres, 



due to the "logging without laws" rider. One urut 

 remains although it has already begun to feel the 

 effects of the onainsaw. 



24. N.F. Chetco: Cuttirig has started on less than a third of the 246 acre 



N.F. Chetco sale. Cancelling logjging on the remaining 

 units could preserve these coastal forests and probable 

 murrelet habitats. 



25. Twin Horse: Cutting has been initiated on this 1991 sale's 17 acres. 



26. U^ Eckley: Uiuts 3 and 6, comprising 69 acres, could become as 



equjdly unattractive as the four sections logged before 

 them if this 1991 sale is not cancelled.

27. China Left: 



28. Buckhom Ridge: 



China Left is a 318 sale, part Late Successional Reserve 

 and Riparian Reserve, and a Key Watershed that was 

 withdrawn prior to the Northwest Forest Plan because 

 the impact of the sale on critical habitat for the 

 Northern Spotted Owl was "unacceptable." The sale 

 logs 530 acres with 274 acres being dearcut and impacts 

 the habitat of Coho salmon and steelhead proposed for 

 listing under the ESA. 



This Option 9 sale dearcuts old growth, and will 

 require new road construction.
