DNRC's State-wide goal is to 

 harvest 42.164 MMBF each year. If 

 timber from this project is not 

 sold, this volume could come from 

 timber sale projects elsewhere, 

 which may not benefit this region 

 of the State. 



If harvesting in this forest is 

 deferred for a long time, harvest 

 patterns would be impacted, 

 changing the region where the 

 volume was harvested and this 

 region.
