Forest Land Use Plan for the West Hollis Timber Sale SSE-1393 K

Forest Land Use Plan Adoption
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Fire Protection (DFFP), gives formal notice per 11 AAC 02 (Appeals) that the Division has adopted 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: West Hollis Timber Sale (SSE-1393 K).
The main access for this sale area is from the existing Prince of Wales Road System. The area of the sale is 11 miles west of the Hollis ferry terminal on Prince of Wales Island on the Klawock-Hollis Highway. The sale is in two locations, one by the Hydaburg Road junction and the other near the old waste pit at Mile 23.5, west of the Harris River Road. The timber sale area is found within Sections 7, 10, 11, 17 and 18, Township 74 South, Range 83 East, Copper River Meridian. The sale area is found within the Craig B-3 USGS quadrangle. This timber has already been sold under provisions of AS 38.05.118 to Viking Lumber Company Inc.
The FLUP is intended to provide the best available information regarding the proposed timber harvest on approximately 95 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 DFFP 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 August 6, 2025 Best Interest Finding and are not appealable under this FLUP.
The Commissioner adopted the FLUP and it has been issued on March 10, 2026. Copies of the FLUP are available for review at the division's Area Office, the division's web site and the State Online Public Notice System at: http://notice.alaska.gov/223014
An eligible person affected by this decision, and who provided timely written comment to the department, may request reconsideration of the decision to the DNR Commissioner per AS 44.37.011 and 11 AAC 02. Any reconsideration request must be received within twenty (20) calendar days after issuance of this decision under 11 AAC 02.040. An eligible person must first appeal a decision to the Commissioner before seeking relief in superior court. The Alaska State Court establishes its own rules for timely appealing final administrative orders and decisions of the department.
Reconsiderations may be mailed or hand-delivered to the DNR Commissioner's Office, 550 W. 7th Avenue, Suite 1400, Anchorage, Alaska, 99501; or faxed to (907)-269-8918; or sent by electronic mail to [email protected]. Reconsiderations must be accompanied by the fee established in 11 AAC 05.160(d)(6), which has been set at $200 under the provisions of 11 AAC 05.160 (a)-(b).
A copy of 11 AAC 02 is available on the department's website at https://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/pdf/DNR-11-AAC-02.pdf .
If no request for reconsideration is filed by that date, this decision goes into effect as a final order and decision on April 10, 2025.
