§ 38-05-117

Notwithstanding the provisions of AS 38.05.113, the commissioner, after making a written finding that the disposal will serve the best interests of the state, may offer for salvage sale timber stands that will lose substantial economic value because of insect or disease epidemics or fire, if not salvaged within two years. Timber on land to be cleared for conversion to nonforest uses also may be offered as a salvage sale.
