yield estimate does not mean that timber 

 would never be harvested from these acres. 

 Timber removed from deferred areas should 

 not be counted in the annual sustained-yield 

 amount.

 SITE: 



• Estimated total acres - 8 



• Estimated SMZ acres - 2 



• Net-acre reduction from the timber-man- 

 agement land base - 6 



• Yearly reduction in Statewide sustained- 

 yield estimate - 696 BF per year (116 BF per 

 acre * 6 acres) or an adjusted Statewide 

 sustained-yield estimate of 42.163 million 

 board feet. 



• Estimated total gross value - $22 * 8 = $176 



• Estimated total net value - $11 ♦ 8 = $88 



GENERAL 

 RECREATIONALIST 



ALL ALTERNATIVES 



In the future, the number of recreationists 

 would increase in this area for any of the 

 alternatives considered. This is due to the 

 amenities found in the project area, the loca- 

 tion of the area, and the projected increase in 

 the regional population. 



NO-ACTION ALTERNATIVE 



This area is prime for development as a comer 

 piece of a Statewide general recreation pro- 

 gram, but due to: 



poor road condition, 

 lack of basic recreational facilities (boat 

 ramp, toilet facilitates, designated camping 

 areas, mapped trails, etc.), 

 poor enforcement of the general Recre- 

 ational Use License, 



the current level of programmatic market- 

 ing, and 



lack of both positive and negative regula- 

 tions (where and what people can do or 

 can't do). 



the prospect of this area generating more 

 income to the trust from the general 

 Recreation Use License is poor. ,#> 



ACTION ALTERNATIVES A AND B 



Due to improving the road system and adding 

 a parking lot at the end of the County road, 

 both of the action alternatives would probably 

 increase the amount of general recreational use 

 of the area. Segments of some trails that exist 

 may be destroyed during harvesting or road 

 building activities. Selected trails that were 

 identified during the project development 

 process would be avoided, if possible, with 

 main skid tiails and landings. Motorized 

 access to Little Beaver and Dollar lakes would 

 be eliminated through road obliteration. This 

 would impact recreationists that are used to 

 accessing these lakes by vehicle for launching 

 boats. If a sign was placed in the parking area 

 indicating that this is trust land and a general 

 Recreational Use License is required, this 

 should have a positive impact on the amount 

 of permits sold each year. With proper sign- 

 ing, enforcement work should be easier. There 

 are no plans to plow the parking lot in the 

 winter; winter parking in the lot may be li 

 possible from the normal plowing of the 

 County road. By not plowing the parking lot 

 during the winter months, the potential in- 

 crease in the number of people using this area 

 in the winter would be reduced, therefore, 

 reducing the potential money-making oppor- 

 tunity from creating the parking lot. The 

 overall potential for generating more money 

 from recreationists related to the action alter- 

 natives is low, given the: | 



limited recreational facilities in the project 

 area, 



lack of Statewide advertising program, 

 current level of enforcement program, and 

 public attitude towards the general Recre- 

 ational Use License fee. 



The effect of this timber sale in relation to the "* 

 funds generated from the general Recreation 

 Use License fee is minimal. This is based on 

 the:
