90' PL plan to liquidate holdings
In 1990, Robert Stephens submitted comments to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection of a study that Pacific Meridian Resources conducted on the cutting rates at PL. Four scenarios where analyzed and presented on behalf of THP's 1-89-762H & 1-89-793H.

14 pages of this document was obtained through CDF recently and is posted for the public's benefit on here. PL knows and has known all along the effects of increasing the rate of cut and what it does to the local economy(rise and decline of jobs over this 20 yr period) and the environmental impacts regarding the four alternatives it paid to have studied.
This public record further illustrates that PL has been aware of every aspect of what the company management effects are to the job market, stream siltation and the eight species of concerned(northern spotted owl, marbled murrelet, red tree vole, northern goshawk, Pacific Fisher, Olmypic salamander, tailed frog and the Del Norte salamander) interest on it's land.
Anyone who thinks that the environmental regulations have caused this company to be laying off workers, because they can't get the cut out, should review this document. PL management is fully aware of what it is doing. They had this study done in order to get the analysis on how much of it's holdings it should be cutting for some sort of bank loan in 1989. The large 3000 acres of unentered old growth forest referred to in this document is "Headwaters". Ya see, back then, the company wouldn't refer to that area as "Headwaters", because that was what Greg King had named it, and they identified him as the enemy. Just a little piece of evidence that adds to the knowledge, which we already knew, that Maxxam/Pacific Lumber is intent on wiping out the biodiversity that exists in these old growth forests.
