Timber Operoting Permits Revoked

The timber operating permits of Charles Mead doing business as Chas. Mead Logging of Redding, California; and of the Little America Lumber Company, a partnership consisting of Douglas Calin and Edward T. Hamilton of Redding, California, have been revoked by DeWitt Nelson, Director of Natural Resources of the State of California, following hearings upon charges that they had violated the California Forest Practice Act.

Revocation of the permits will become effective on July 21, 1961.

All respondents were accused of failing to comply with certain requirements of the California Forest Practice Act and the Forest Practice Rules for the Coast Range Pine and Fir Forest District in the conduct of their logging operations in that they failed to fall standing snags and failed to comply with minimum soil erosion prevention requirements. The logging operations of the respondents were located in western Shasta County.

The accusation against the respondents was made by F. H. Raymond, State Forester, who is charged with enforcement of the Forest Practice Act.

Hearing on the accusation was held in Sacramento, California, on June 9, 1961, before Hearing Officer Coleman E. Stewart, of the State Division of Administrative Procedure. Claude D. Rohwer, Deputy Attorney General from the office of the Attorney General, Sacramento, California, represented the State Forester in prosecuting the charges.

In commenting on his decision in the matter, Director Nelson emphasized the extreme importance of protecting forests in the State, and the necessity of insuring continuing forest productivity to meet the future needs of the State.

State Forester Ravmond expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the hearing and the decision of the Director of Natural Resources. He stated that this case represents a continuation of the efforts of his office to enforce the provisions of the State Forest Practice Act and the Forest Practice Rules of the several Forest Practice Districts of the State.

Preliminory Wood Preservqfion Report lssued

A preliminary report of a survey of the wood preserving industries shows only 3 percent less wood treated commercially in 1960 than in 1959.

The survey, conducted by the Forest Service and the American Wood-Preservers' Association, showed a preliminary total of 2O7.4 rnillion cubic feet treated in 1960 as compared to final 214.5 million treated in 1959. The report was based on figures from 319 plants which generally handle about 95 percent of the wood treated. When all i960 reports are in, it is expected that 1960 volume treated will about equal 1959.

The brief preliminary report shows products treated by kind of preservative, by kind of wood and by Region. Treatment of crossties, piling, switchties, and crossarms increased according to the report. The treatment of poles, lumber and timbers, fence posts, and other miscellaneous products decreased however. The use of creosote-coal tar iolution increased although the use of straight creosote decreased.

A copy of the report may be obtained from the Forest Service,'U.S. Depirtment- of Agriculture, Washington 25. D.C.
