About this file
This is a timber sale appraisal document prepared by the U.S. Forest Service for the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota. The document presents a comparative analysis of timber volume and pricing for the Aquarius timber sale (Sale Number 2400-17, Sale ID 02030800412027), located in Region 02, Forest 03, District 08, with a sale date in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2027. The sale encompasses 134 total acres with 67 harvesting acres and involves ponderosa pine (Species Code 122) timber in two product categories: convertible and nonconvertible products. The timber is appraised for haul to Sturgis at a distance of 13 miles. The sale is designated as competitive and uses standard pricing methodology with no SBA set-aside designation.
The appraisal presents detailed valuation in both CCF (Hundreds of Cubic Feet) and MBF (Thousands of Board Feet) units. For CCF products, the total volume is 1,043 CCF with advertised rates of $5.00 per CCF for the 01-03 period and $0.25 per CCF for the 03-09 period. For MBF products, the total volume is 517 MBF with advertised rates of $10.00 per MBF for the 01-01 period and $0.63 per MBF for the 03-01 period. The appraisal incorporates various cost adjustments including skid-yard costs, haul costs, road maintenance, slash disposal, and temporary road construction, along with a significant unusual adjustment of -$55.63 per CCF and -$112.14 per MBF. No bids are currently recorded in the document, indicating this represents the pre-sale appraisal phase.
