I am writing in strong opposition to the Twin Mountain II Timber Sale (Project #58626) on the Tongass National Forest and urge the Forest Service to select the No-Action alternative. I support responsible timber harvest, including the careful harvest of replanted, mature second-growth timber, but I am concerned that this project has not been fully evaluated for its impacts on the old-growth forests, watersheds, and subsistence resources of Prince of Wales Island. Because the project area is near sensitive salmon streams, critical deer winter habitat, and some of the last remaining ancient forest on the island, it should undergo a more complete environmental review before any action alternative is approved. My main concerns are: - The project could significantly harm the Red Bay watershed, including the subsistence sockeye salmon run that rural communities depend on. - New and reconditioned roads will increase sediment, degrade stream habitat, and open access corridors that amplify hunting pressure and predator efficiency. - The cumulative impact of this project has not been honestly assessed against the backdrop of decades of intensive logging that has already removed approximately 94% of productive old-growth on Prince of Wales Island. - The environmental review does not adequately account for the Ketchikan rural designation, which added approximately thousands of new subsistence hunters to an already stressed deer population. - An ample supply of mature replanted, second-growth timber exists— there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of acres of it on the Tongass, more than half on Prince of Wales Island. Mature second growth, outside of naturally regenerated stands should be fully evaluated as an alternative before any old-growth harvest is approved. A full and honest Environmental Impact Statement should be completed before any action alternative is approved, and it should clearly address subsistence impacts on both deer and salmon, cumulative logging history, and the availability of second-growth alternatives. I support a timber economy that can sustain itself without destroying what remains of these ancient forests — but only if every necessary step is taken to protect old-growth, structurally complex forest, healthy watersheds, and the communities that depend on them.
