The U.S. Forest Service took just 90 days to approve a salvage plan for trees that were damaged by a rare tornado that hit Idaho's Payette National Forest in June.

"This is really warp speed for the Forest Service," said Governor Jim Risch. "They made a nice piece of the area available for commercial harvest." Along with national forest officials worried about fire danger, the governor had pressured officials for a speedy solution.

According to the plan, the tornado downed about 26.8 million bd. ft. of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and white pine trees, which could generate 18 million bd. ft. of timber worth about $1.5 million. If the plan clears a 30day public comment period without objection, the Forest Service will open bidding in late September. Over 1,500 acres will be auctioned off in five separate logging sales.
