Recreational Use License was purchased for every 136 acres of State land 

 (5,157,380/37,818) producing an average gross revenue of approximately $.095/acre 

 ($491,222/5.157,380) in 2001. Applying the Statewide average revenue/acre to State 

 land in the project area produces estimated revenue of $268.47 (.095 X 2,826 acres) per 

 year from General Recreational Use Licenses. 



None of the alternatives currently under analysis in this document would impact 

 individuals' access or ability to use trust land for recreational purposes. This issue will 

 not receive further analysis in Chapters 3 and 4. 



> The proposed timber sale may impact the amount of "road less" area present. 



All of the sections involved in this proposal currently contain roads of varying quality and 

 quantity. The term "roadless" is normally used in reference to U.S. Forest Service land 

 that meet a definition established for the management of federal lands. The State of 

 Montana does not have a land classification of "roadless". Action proposals, if 

 implemented, would increase road density for most of the tracts. Analysis for this issue is 

 contained in the wildlife section of this document. For further information refer to this 

 section. The concern about road-less areas will not receive further analysis in Chapters 3 

 or 4. 



Archeological 



> Logging and road building activity may harm cultural sites that may be present. 



A DNRC staff Archeologist conducted a cultural resource inventory of the proposed sale 

 area. There were no sites of interest idenfified. Further information on this evaluation 

 can be found in the project file. No further analysis of this concem will be done.
