Redwood Settlement Due

Louisiana-Pacific Corp. has reached final agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice in a 10 year dispute about compensation for 26,544 acres of timberland taken in 1978 to expand the Redwood National Park in Northern California.

Under the terms of the agreement, both L-P and the Justice Department would withdraw their appeals to a U.S. District Court decision which set the value of the timberland at $364 million.

In addition to this principal amount, the government has previously agreed to pay L-P interestnow totalling about $301 millionfor delay in payment. Taking into account previous partial payments, of $225 million, the remaining amount now due L-P is about $440
