(Alternative 6 of the 2002 Forest Service Draft SEIS estimates these already roaded areas to provide 86 million board-feet per year. Our estimate is closer to 100 million board-feet per year. Although these estimates are substantially lower than harvest rates during the peak years of the 1980's, we believe that they are more sustainable over the long-term.)
