Firm Fined for lllegal Logging

A timber company rvas fined $141,000 for conducting illegal logging operations on l3 acres north of Hilo. Hi.

Koa Timber Inc., Kapolei, Hi., owns the land and is seeking a state conservation district use permit for a separate logging operation on land it or.vns in the same area.

lnvestigators for the state Department of Land and Natural Resources said that in 2000 Koa Timber had cut down 135 koa and trvo ohia trees without a permit and conducted unauthorized grading and road construction. Logging on conservation land requires a permit, even if the land is privately owned.

According to company officials, harvesters thought they were cutting trees on neighboring lands, where logging is allowed without a permit. The board of Land and Natural Resources has given Koa five months to pay the fine.

Judge's Ruling For The Birds

Just as the U.S. Forest Service was readying itself for a timber harvest in Kaibab National Forest. Az.. the Sierra Club and the Center for Biological Diversity filed suit to keep the logging from beginning because it could have a negative impact on the northern goshawk, a bird that is considered an indicator species of overall fbrest health.

Judge Donald J. Pogue of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Forest Service has violated the National Environmental Policy Act by not protecting the goshawk, which is not on the endangered species list, by failing to consider them r.vhen harvesting larger and older trees.

The Forest Service, when putting together its regional goshawk management plan in Arizona and New Mexico, stated the goshawk was a "habitat generalist" and did not necessarily need the larger, older trees for reproduction.

Problems For Pickett Snake

A timber purchase by Slvanson-Superior Lumber Co., Glendale, Or., in 2002 has been further sidetracked by a Medford, Or., federal court maglstrate.

U.S. District Magistrate John P. Cooney determined that the sale violated the National Environmental Policy Act and the Bureau of Land Management's own Medford District resources management plan. The decision now heads to a U.S. District Court judge.

The conservation group that originally filed the suit argued that logging would destroy sensitive plants and obstruct views f'rom the Wild and Scenic Rogue River.

BLM's Picket Snake Project aims to imitate healthy changes fires makes to forests, and includes logging and brush-clearing. The sale includes cutting 7.5 million bd. ft. of timber over 1.116 acres.
