TABLE 4-17 

 SALE SPECIFIC FOREST IMPROVEMENT COST BY ALTERNATIVE, 



METHOD AND TOTAL 



5. Total net income to the Trust is the net sawlog income plus post and rail net 

 income. 



6. In addition to the sawlog products proposed for harvest from this project area, 

 commercial thinning would result in harvesting of post and rail material. The 

 estimated value is $150 per acre. Alternative A has zero acres while alternatives 

 B,C, and D propose 667 acres, 101 1 acres 624 acres respectively. 



DNRC does not have any revenue generating activities that are solely dependent 

 on this project area. There are no outfitters and guides who license the acres in 

 this project area. 



Limitations of the economic analysis 1) Only known cost and benefits that are 

 related to timber harvesting activities or other revenue producing activities are 

 considered; (2) None of the potential benefits associated with leaving trees (i.e. 

 snag recruitment, structural diversity, aesthetics, wildlife habitat, nutrient 

 recycling, etc.) are considered.
