Stillwater Unit personnel estimated the SSFI 

 costs based on the following costs: ^st^^l x ic 



broadcast bum - jackpot burning = $15.2 



per acre; 

 '* broadcast bum - broadcast burning = $135 



per acre; 



excavator site preparation = $95 per acre; 

 r;n»u dozer site preparation = $65 per acre; 

 - - full planting = $93.19 per acre (221.9 trees 



per acre (TPA) * .$0.42 per h-ee); 



- interplanting = $69.00 per acre (150 TPA * 

 ^^ $0.46 per tree); and ^a^m.- 



- purchaser-do slashing = $125 per man day. 



The costs related to the administration of the 

 timber sale program are tracked only at the 

 Land Office and Statewide level. We do not 

 have a formal accounting system to keep track 

 of costs for individual timber sales. 



DNRC has a sustained-yield harvest-volume 

 level of 42.164 MMBF per year Statewide. If 

 timber is not sold and harvested relating to the 

 highest volume alternative in this project, 

 timber would be sold and harvested some- 

 where else. 



Limitations of the economic analysis: 



• Only known costs and benefits that are 

 associated with the activities listed below 

 are considered. 



• None of the potential benefits associated 

 with leaving tiees (i.e. snag recruitment, 

 structural diversity, aesthetics, wildlife 

 habitat, nutrient recycling, etc.) are consid- 

 ered.
