1 Alsk s Forest Produts Industry nd Timer Hrvest, 2015 The University of Montn s Bureu of Business nd Eonomi Reserh (BBER), in onjuntion with the Pifi Northwest Forest Inventory nd Anlysis (PNW-FIA) Progrm of the US Forest Servie, onduted ensus of Alsk s timer proessors operting during lendr yer Through written questionnire, phone, or in-person interview, timer-proessing nd residueutilizing filities provided informtion out their 2015 opertions, inluding: Plnt lotion, prodution, pity, nd employment Volume of rw mteril reeived, y ounty nd ownership Speies of timer reeived nd live/ded proportions Finished produt volumes, types, sles vlue, nd mrket lotions Volume, utiliztion, nd mrketing of mnufturing residue Fility-level informtion ws ompiled, oded, nlyzed nd summrized. Beuse this study is sed on ensus, rther thn sttistil smple of firms, there is no sttistil error ssoited with the estimtes presented. Possiilities of reporting nd mesurement error exist, ut re minimized y heking eh fility s dt for internl onsisteny nd ross-heking summrized dt ginst other puli nd privte informtion. Summry dt tles nd figures re reviewed y wood produts reserhers, stte nd federl geny personnel, nd memers of the stte s forest produts industry to grner high-level reviews. Some firms hoose not to prtiipte or do not provide omplete dt. Dt for filities tht did not respond were estimted using previous yers surveys, dt from similr filities, nd other informtion. For the 2015 Alsk ensus, dt were reeived for 51 of the 60 tive, instte filities. While some of the olleted fility dt required estimtion methods to finlize, 80 perent of the hrvest volume in 2015 ws ptured through quntittive methods. The resulting fility-level informtion ws then ompiled nd summrized s presented here. A glossry is lso inluded to provide dditionl ontext nd lrity for terminology used in the dt tles nd susequent reporting.

2 In ddition to dt olleted through BBER survey efforts, pulily ville dt soures were leverged to help reonile nd estimte totl hrvest volumes. USDA Forest Servie Cut nd Sold Reports provided ontext for ntionl forest hrvest levels. USDA Forest Servie 2015 export permits s well s United Sttes Interntionl Trde Commission (USITC) export dt provided informtion on export volume, speies, vlue, ownership nd destintion in Additionl hrvest nd export informtion from lnds under stte ownership were reeived through personl orrespondene with the Stte of Alsk Division of Forestry. A series of reserh riefs/ulletins re urrently eing prepred tht will inlude seleted tles long with historil informtion nd urrent industry trends. All BBER reports on Alsk s forest produts industry n e found t: As we ontinue to finlize the reports, we would like to provide this ore informtion to our dt users nd other interested individuls. We enourge you to ontt us if you hve ny dditionl questions out the dt. However, firm-level dt re onfidentil nd will not e relesed. The led nlyst on this report is: Kte C.

3 Highlights Alsk s sttewide timer hrvest in 2015 ws estimted t million ord feet (MMBF) Sriner, down from MMBF in Privte lnds supplied the mjority of the hrvest t 67 perent, derese from nerly 73 perent in Conversely, puli ownerships hve inresed s proportion of the hrvest, with USFS timer hrvest ounting for out 22 perent in 2015, ompred with little more thn 16 perent in Sitk sprue ws the leding speies hrvested, ounting for 70 perent of the totl hrvest volume, nd ws lso the mjor export speies in Western hemlok nd western rededr eh ounted for roughly 10 perent of the overll hrvest. Swlogs were the min produt hrvested, ounting for nerly 94 perent of the totl hrvest, nd Southest oroughs/ensus res ontriuted nerly 60 perent of this volume. By omprison, Southest oroughs ounted for more thn 80 perent of the swlog volume hrvested in Though other timer produts inluding tonewood (wood used to mke musil instruments) nd edr produts omined only ounted for 1 perent of the totl hrvest in 2015, this represented sustntil inrese (nerly four times) over the volume in Alsk log exports deresed drmtilly etween 2011 nd 2015, flling pproximtely 42 perent. Alskn log exports rehed dedl high (2005 to 2015) in 2012, ut egn deresing in 2013 flling y 28 perent in 2014, nd y n dditionl 20 perent in Nerly ll 2015 Alskn log exports were sent to Pifi Rim ountries in Northest Asi, with Chin reeiving pproximtely 76 perent of the volume leving the Anhorge Customs Distrit. Jpn ounted for 16 perent nd Kore n dditionl 7 perent of the exported log volume. Exports to ll three of these ountries hve deresed etween 2011 nd 2015 y n verge of more thn 50 perent. A totl of 60 primry wood produts filities were identified s tive in Alsk during 2015: 39 swmills 11 log home mnufturers 10 other primry filities tht produed other produts inluding fuelwood/energy produts, edr produts nd tonewood. Although the numer of tive Alsk filities deresed from 2011, 6 new filities were identified nd one swmill eme tive gin in Approximtely 14 filities tive in 2011 were idle nd not operting during 2015, while 10 tive 2011 filities hve sine losed. 3

4 Privte nd Ntive Corportion owned lnds provided out 9 perent (2.8 MMBF Sriner) of the timer proessed y Alsk filities in Aout 37 perent (11.6 MMBF) of utilized volume me from stte nd other puli lnds. Ntionl forest lnds ounted for 54 perent (16.9 MMBF) of timer reeived y Alsk filities. Western rededr ws the most ommon speies reeived y Alsk filities, ounting for 35 perent of ll produts n inrese of nerly 10 perent over 2011 nd ounting for pproximtely 42 perent of the swlog volume. Western hemlok only ounted for 5 perent of timer volume reeived y filities in 2015, less thn hlf the proportion it represented in Despite delining hrvest levels Alsk s 39 swmills reeived more timer in 2015 nd produed just over 30 MMBF of lumer, nerly 50 perent more thn in Alsk swmills reovered n verge of 1.33 ord feet lumer tlly per ord foot Sriner of log input, 12 perent inrese over Stte-wide house log prodution fell y more thn 15 perent from 2011 to 2015, while fuelwood produts (firewood nd wood pellets) inresed y 12 perent. Self-reported prodution pity fell sttewide longside the redution in tive Alskn primry proessing filities. Lumer prodution pity fell y 9 perent from 2011 to 2015 while house log prodution pity fell y 52 perent. Interior Alsk sw the most drmti drop in house log prodution pity, flling y 77 perent sine Annul timer-proessing pity of tive filities in the omined swmill nd houselog setors fell y 8.5 perent sine 2011, to MMBF Sriner. Although overll prodution pity fell, pity utiliztion in Alsk s swmill nd house log setors inresed to over 20 perent in 2015, lose to the 2005 utiliztion levels. Totl residue volume produed in 2015 inresed over reported 2011 volumes, longside inresing lumer prodution. A generl inrese in filities reporting other uses of residues niml edding, mulh, lndspe mteril ws oserved in The proportion of residue used for fuelwood dropped slightly etween 2011 nd 2015, likely linked to the impt of lower fuel oil nd nturl gs pries, nd filities hve found lterntive uses for mill residuls. Alsk s primry forest produts industry shipped produts vlued t $23.3 million (free on ord [f.o..] the produing mill) in 2015, n inrese of 28 perent from 2011, in onstnt 2015 dollrs. The mjority of primry produts were sold within the stte of Alsk. Residue sles inluding firewood, grden mulh, niml edding nd lndsping fill lso inresed to nerly $4.9 million in Due to drmti dereses in swlog volume exported from Alsk, sttewide totl sles vlue for the forest produts industry in 2015 ws down nerly 20 perent from 2011 estimtes. 4

Rtios hve hnged through time s result of hnges in produt reovery, residue prodution, nd shifts in log dimeter size utilized. BFCF rtios ounted for oth primry produts nd residue volumes. Bone dry unit (BDU) The mount of wood residue tht weights 2,400 ls (1,088 kg) t 0 perent moisture ontent. One BDU equls pproximtely 9.49 yd 3 or 96 ft 3 of solid wood. Cui foot A unit of true volume tht mesures 1 ft y 1 ft y 1 ft (30.48 y y m). Fuelwood Refers to wood used in the prodution of industril het nd stem nd residentil firewood s well s wood pellet prodution. Pellets n e produed from mill residues (e.g., swdust nd shvings) s well s hipped roundwood. House log Roundwood timer used to onstrut log homes. Produts mnuftured from house logs n e swn, sried y hnd, nothed or milled y lthe to meet ustomer onstrution needs. House log timer is often ded (y hoie, euse green logs usully require drying efore they n e used for onstrution) nd of lower vlue thn swlogs. Lumer reovery ftor (LFR) The volume of lumer reovered (in ord feet) per ui foot of log proessed. Lumer tlly The volume of swn produts, usully expressed in ord feet. Overrun The volume of lumer tully otined from log in exess of the estimted volume of the log, sed on log sle. Produt reovery rtios Finished produt volume divided y timer input volume (output in setor speifi units per input in Sriner). For swmills, expressed s MBF lumer tlly/mbf log sle (Sriner in this report).

Residue The wood-fier or rk y-produt of remining fter timer proessing of primry produt like lumer, plywood, posts nd poles, house logs, et. Three types or residue re generlly generted: Corse hips, edgings, sls, trim, mis-uts, nd log ends Fine swdust nd plner shvings Brk. Residue volume ftors for eh industry setor, these ftors express the verge numer of one dry units (BDU) of residue of vrious types ville per unit of produt output. Swlog A log tht meets minimum regionl stndrds of dimeter, length, nd defet, intended for swing. Sling Or log sling is the mesurement of volume in log sed on speifi log rules, for exmple the Sriner log rule. In this report, ll sled volumes re reported in Sriner. Two versions of Sriner log sle re ommonly used west side nd est side. Mximum log length is 40 ft for west-side Sriner nd 20 ft for est-side sle. Sriner A digrm log rule originting in the 1800s tht ssumes 1-in (2.54 m) ords nd 0.25 in (0.64 m) kerf, nd is sed on dimeter t the smll end of the log, disregrds tper, nd does not provide for overrun. Note: The Sriner rule underestimtes lumer yield on smll logs nd long logs with tper. Timer-proessing pity The volume of timer reported in MBF Sriner tht ould e proessed given suffiient supplies of rw mterils nd firm mrket demnd for produts. Timer-proessing pity is estimted for eh fility y pplying the produt reovery rtios to prodution pity. Essentilly guges the volume of timer filities ould use if they operted t their self-reported prodution pity, nd is expressed s MBF Sriner log sle of timer per shift or per work yer. BBER omputes fility s timer-proessing pity y dividing its prodution pity y its produt reovery rtio. Timer-proessing pity is generlly expressed in MBF Sriner log sle, regrdless of wood produts mnufturing setor, nd is therefore useful in hrterizing the timer onsumption potentil of n entire stte s forest produts industry. Tonewood Roundwood speifilly proessed (typilly from lrge-dimeter timer) for the prodution of musil instruments. 16
