(1)Information collected from each state and federal pest control specialist.
(2)Beginning year is based on available state records.
(3)Incudes estimates on federal, state, and private lands.
(4)Stumpage prices are estimates from each state pest specialist, and the same values are assigned to timber salvaged and not salvaged.
(5)Total value may change when columns are multiplied by stumpage values due to rounding off. Also, this value reflects stumpage values only and not delivered prices or other aesthetic values.
(6)Actual volume of timber chemically treated plus estimated volume killed with no treatment.
(7)A total of 31,230 cords and 142,205 MBF was reported killed from 1972-1976. To provide uniformity within the table, these figures were divided by 5 years to show an average by year.
