Draft Forest Land Use Plan

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Fire Protection (DOF), gives formal notice per AS 38.05.945 that the Division proposes to adopt a site-specific Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) under AS 38.05.112 and the administrative standards of AS 41.17.060 for the commercial timber sale: Edna Bay Parlay Three Timber Sale (SSE-1342-3).

This timber sale is located on Kosciusko Island, centered approximately two miles west of the City of Edna Bay. The legal description of the sale area is within Sections 1 and 2 of Township 69 South, Range 76 East, all in Copper River Meridian. Access to the sale area is by a log transfer facility in Section 34 and from existing road systems.

The harvest units total approximately 114 acres and contain approximately 2,800 MBF of timber. This volume will be sold under the provisions of AS 38.05.120, in the form of one or multiple sales.

The FLUP is intended to provide the best available information regarding the proposed timber harvest on 114 acres and the management of other non-timber uses in compliance with AS 38.05.112 and AS 41.17.060, and must be adopted by the DOF before the proposed activity can occur. This FLUP does not determine whether or not to access and sell timber within the timber sale area, nor the method of sale. Those decisions have been made previously in the March 9, 2017 Best Interest Finding and are not appealable under this FLUP.

The public is invited to comment on the FLUP. Comments can be submitted by mail or by email using the contact information listed below. Comments must be received at the Division of Forestry office no later than March 7, 2025, in order to be considered in the adopted FLUP. To be eligible to appeal the adopted FLUP a person must have provided written comment by March 7, 2025.
