IV. RECOMMENDED FORESTRY 

 PROGRAM AND EFFECTS ' 



In the recommended compromise plan there are areas of complementarity in 

 which both economic development and environmental quality are improved 

 through resource development. Conversely, there are areas where develop- 

 ment for one objective decreases the satisfaction of another objective. 

 These are the areas in which tradeoffs were identified and plan elements 

 were changed or deleted in order to develop the preferred plan using 

 feedback that the study team received from the public. 



Elements of the plan which can be complementary with other plan elements 

 include : 



-- moratorium on subdivision of commercial forest land and the preserva- 

 tion of open and green space and wildlife habitat. 



-- acceleration of land treatment measures that preserve and enhance 

 resources for long-term use and improved timber management, harvest, 

 reforestation, and employment opportunities. 



Elements of the plan which could compete with other plan elements 

 include: 



-- new manufacturing industry for new basic jobs and associated increased 

 population growth versus water pollution abatement, and the control of 

 erosion, sediment and subdivisions. 



-- more complete manufacture of wood products and associated increased 

 population growth versus water pollution abatement and the preservation 

 of riparian vegetation and natural beauty. 



-- that part of land treatment emphasizing production versus providing 

 food and cover areas for upland game. 



The following elements are included in the preferred early action plan to 

 be accomplished by 1990. 



(1) Provide more manufacturing for export and more services to people 

 from outside the basin in order to retain the projected loss of 1950 

 basic employment jobs from the present population and increase basic 

 employment by about 5,400 jobs for the increased population anticipated. 

 Programs of government and private industry would be directed toward 

 attracting new basic industry to the basin.
