Special Note: 



The Montana Department of Natural Resources and 

 Conservation (DNRC) proposes the salvage harvest of 

 timber on state School Trust Lands. The sale under 

 consideration would, at this time, salvage harvest 

 approximately 52,000 tons of timber from 1,314 acres in 

 sections 6, 8, 16, and 18, T13 N, R 24 W sections 12 and 

 14, TON, R25W and section 30, T14N, R24W. Up to an 

 additional 1 ,365 acres may be harvested if significant tree 

 mortality occurs as a result of insect infestation brought 

 about by the fire. The proposed action would be 

 implemented as early as December 2003 and could be 

 completed by September 2004. These dates are 

 approximate.
