The Forest Service also provided this Information on the effect of their Aquatic Habitat 

 Management Unit (AHMU) system. 



80% of the volume within the AHMU remain with selective logging allowed inside the AHMU 

 area. The AHMU distance from stream varies from 500 feet to 25 feet or slopebreak 



The Forest Service just released their Record of Decision for the 1989-94 Operating Period for 

 KPC Long Term Timber Sale. This decision includes standards for habitat management that 

 includes a no-cut buffer strip greater than 1 00 foot on 7 stream classes, yet it includes far 

 less (25 feet in most cases) on 1 1 stream classes that are within the Class 1 and II system 

 (total 23 stream categories within Class I and II). These standards are incoporated into a 

 modified preferred alternative as a result of the Record of Decision. The Final EIS includes an 

 alternative (Alternative 6) that would basically implement the National Marine Fisheries 

 Service's 30 meter no-cut policy. The Final EIS also includes Alternative 7 supported by 

 Alaska Loggers Association (ALA) Here is a tally of how the Board Foot Volumes compare.
