NC Wood Chip Study
Economic and Ecologic Impacts Associated With Wood Chip Production in North Carolina
The final study results are now available for public view in PDF format.
The documents presented here are final reports. The study has been conducted as an integrated assessment of economic, ecological, and social issues of relevance to chip mills. Over the course of the study, ten topic areas have emerged as organizing themes within the research. White Papers have been written by members of the study team to provide additional detail in each topic area. Readers wishing greater detail than the limited discussion possible in the Executive Summary and Project Summary should consult the individual White Papers.
* An Abstract
* A comprehensive Executive Summary briefly describes the study findings.
* A comprehensive Project Summary describes the study findings.
* Each of eleven topic areas is described in an individual White Paper
* Supplementary Summary Tables and Explanatory Text
All of the White Papers are now available.
