Instructions for "ROUNDWOOD RECEIVED FOR PROCESSING"


This instruction sheet is provided to help you fill out the "ROUNDWOOD RECEIVED FOR PROCESSING" survey form.
This form has been designed to determine the location, size, and composition of the primary wood-using mills in your State,
the volume of roundwood harvested by product, species, and geographic location, and the volume and disposition of wood
residues generated during primary processing for the calendar year indicated. Your cooperation completing this form for your
mill will make the results of this survey comprehensive, accurate, and timely. All information is held in confidentiality and
used only for statistical reports. No individual mill production data will be released. Your cooperation is appreciated.


ROUNDWOOD is defined as any log, bolt, or other round section (including chips from roundwood)
cut from trees for industrial or consumer use. This includes saw logs, veneer logs, cooperage logs
and bolts, pilings, poles, posts, hewn ties, and various other round, split, or hewn products.


Page 1 -- Mill Information (This page only needs to be completed once per mill location.)
* Fill in the Business/Company name and mailing address. Also record the name and phone number of the owner, manager,

or person that can be contacted if there are any questions concerning the information on the survey form.
* Record the address of the actual mill location if different from the business/company mailing address.
* Record the name of the County in which the mill is located. If Latitude and Longitude of mill location are available, they may be entered.
* If the mill is part of a larger, Parent company, record the Parent company name and address.
* Check the box if No wood was received at this mill location during the calender year of the survey.

If no wood was received, no further information is needed. Please return the form in the enclosed envelope.
* Check the box under "Type of Roundwood Processed" that indicates the type of roundwood received at the mill

for processing. If the mill processes more than one type of roundwood, complete a separate form for each.
* Enter the annual capacity of the mill when operating at full capacity, and indicate the unit of measure.
* Indicate if the mill is a portable mill, the number of employees, when the mill was established, and the mill status during the survey year.
* Check the box if you want the mill name and address to be withheld from "Regional/Statewide Industry" directories.
* Check the box to be to notified about the report resulting from this study.


Page 2 -- SECTION 2. ORIGINS AND SPECIES OF ROUNDWOOD PROCESSED
(This page should be completed for each 'Type of Roundwood Processed' in section 2.1)
* Check the box under "Type of Roundwood Processed" that indicates the type of roundwood received at the mill

for processing. If the mill processes more than one type of roundwood, complete a separate form for each.
* Enter the total volume of roundwood received at the mill for the 'Type of Roundwood Processed' checked in Section 2.1, the unit of measure

for softwood and hardwood, and the average log length and top diameter of logs processed at the mill. If the Unit of Mearsure is a

weight measurement, please indicate the conversion factor the mill uses for pounds per board foot or cord.
* Indicate if the mill processes any logs from cities or towns (urban areas), and if so, what percent of the reported

total volume of roundwood received came from cities or towns (urban areas).
* Indicate what percent of the reported of the total volume of roundwood received came from salvaged dead trees.
* Enter the amount or percent of each species group processed at the mill for the Raw Material (Logs/Roundwood)

checked in Section 2.1. Across the columns at the top of the table, enter the State and county, and foreign

Country that the Raw Material (Logs/Roundwood) came from. Then fill in the table entering the amount

or percent of each species that came from each county. If the species is not listed, enter it into the last three

rows labeled "Other:" A species list is at the bottom of page. If you need more space, please duplicate this form.


Page 3-- SECTION 3. Mill equipment, products produced, production amounts, and boiler/hog fuel, amounts.
(This page only needs to be completed once per mill location.)
* Check the main head rig at the mill, and any resaws or other equipment.
* Enter the percent of the group for each type of product produced at the mill. Example: 50% rough lumber, 25% pallets/pallet lumber

25% cants, and 100% Posts - fencing. Sums to 100% for the 'Saw logs' group and 100% for the 'Post, poles, and pilings' group.
* Enter the total amount produced for each 'Type of Roundwood Processed' in section 2.1, the unit of measure, the

percent dressed for lumber, and the amount of finished product exported out of the United States.
* If the mill receives roundwood, in-woods chips, whole-tree chips, and/or tops and limbwood used for

Boiler/hog fuel/industrial fuel, Please record the total amount by State of origin, and softwoods and hardwood.

Indicate the unit of measure.


Pages 4 -- SECTION II. DISPOSAL OF BARK AND WOOD RESIDUES GENERATED
(This page should be completed for each 'Type of Roundwood Processed' in section 2.1, except for Roundwood exported out of the United States.)
* Check the box under "Type of Roundwood Processed" that indicates the type of roundwood received at the mill

for processing. If the mill processes more than one type of roundwood, complete a separate form for each.
* Enter the amount of mill residues that were generated by processing the type of Raw Material (Logs/Roundwood)

Section 4.1 for each type of mill residue and for Softwoods and Hardwoods. Indicate the "Unit of Measure."
* Enter the percent for each type of "USE OF MILL RESIDUE" by the type of mill residue, and Softwoods and Hardwoods.

The columns should sum to 100%.
