The plan objective is to provide continued direction in managment and _. administration of timber resources. The plan is a functional expansion of the Forest Multiple Use Plan. The actions and objectives of the plan are coordinated with other resources of the Forest through an Environ- mental Impact Statement. Although the planning period is ten years, the total planning horizon '- used to achieve regulation of commercial forest land is two growing ro- : tations or 280 years. This regulation is planned by a computerized method of developing long-range management plans, called RAM (Resource a Allocation Method). . The proposed’ Timber Management Plan is based on timber data collected from 417 sample locations. The commercial forest was determined to be _, 919,561 acres of land capable of producing in excess of 20 cubic feet of . . wood per acre per year, Of this total, 276,608 acres are currently - reserved or deferred from timber management activities because of wilder- ness classification or study for potential wilderness classification. '- The total volume of trees on commercial forest land is 5.6 billion board _ feet. Trees are. growing at the rate of 68 million board feet per year, with a mortality rate of 18 million board feet per year. In order to achieve forest regulation, an equal distribution of timber
