Lakeside Avenue McCall, ID 83638 RE: Middle Fork Weiser River Landscape Restoration Project Dear Keith Lannom, Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the upcoming Middle Fork Weiser River Landscape Project on behalf of Boise Cascade. Boise Cascade manufactures engineered wood products, plywood, lumber, and particleboard and distributes a broad line of building materials, including wood products manufactured by the company's wood products division. The company is privately owned and headquartered in Boise, ID, and operates mills that count on wood produced from the National Forests. Boise Cascade fully supports implementing these authorities as soon as possible. As a member of the Payette Forest Coalition, we also support the comments submitted by that organization. I am in general agreement with the project's purpose and need and offer the following comments: • I am concerned that timber production is not called out specifically in the purpose of the project, this is a valuable commodity and can help the Forest Service to pay for non-revenue generating activities. Producing timber should be a purpose of this project. • I am in full support of the identified commercial harvest; however, I would like to know why the other 31,520 acres are not being treated commercially? • Please consider an alternative that maximizes the economic benefit of the project through additional commercial harvest. • I support treatments in Riparian Conservation Areas because these areas are often the most sensitive and leaving excess fuel loading in them does not make sense.
