. . ,3 - [ *,, /, N The major impact on the forest resources discussed in this project has already occurred, e.g., clearing and innundation of 26,000 acres. The statement is very complete and thorough concerning most resources affected. Although benefits are shown for hunting, fishing, and other forms of recreation, costs or losses are not shown (unless they are. included in the T.8 million under land use). To be truly objective, expected future returns for timber, hunting, fishing, and other land and water uses on land to be innundated should be shown as " costs".

We are happy to see that some of the Duke Power Company land vill be converted to forestry. As you know, change in land use often results in sedimentation, so adequate plans to control erosion should be considered.
