1 small amount and probably comes from birch in Finland --
2 you show how the 1590 tonnes is made up?
3 A. Yes, here we have the area thinned which I have shown
4 as 8.4 hectares. This is based on a yield of 60 metre cube
5 per hectare in thinning, giving you 504 metre cube of
6 roundwood which would be used for pulp production. That is
7 assuming a yield by taking the thinnings from Forest
8 Enterprise existing forest at 60 metre cube per hectare.
9
10 Q. If one adds the 504 metre cube to 1,086 metre cube you have
11 1590 metre cube, and on the previous page you have got 1590
12 tonnes of pulpwood?
13 A. Yes.
14
15 Q. How do they relate to each other?
16 A. Well, what we are doing is coming down to the total
17 amount of pulpwood which we have got in the figures in the
18 middle of the page No. 5. So what we have done is we have
19 taken, first of all, the area clearfelled which based ----
20
21 MR. MORRIS: Can I just interrupt? On the area of clearfelled
22 above, 17.8 hectares of which 4,254 cubic metre for sawmill
23 product and 6,086 for pulp, the sawmill product includes
24 residues, does it not? Is that where you get the 180
25 tonnes of sawmill residues?
26 A. The 180 tonnes of sawmill residue is taken from the
27 figure which in the lower half of page 5, you will see that
28 under the figure of the amount of sawn wood derived from
29 the sawlogs which was 1,883 metre cube, you have a figure
30 of sawmill residues, fibre for panels and pulp, the total
31 available to be provided for pulp would be 1,261, but in
32 point of fact Iggesund only take from that 180 metre cubed.
33
34 MR. JUSTICE BELL: But that comes from the 4,254 metre cube for
35 sawmill products?
36 A. Yes. One of the problems here is when one is talking
37 in terms of tonnage and metre cube is the point I made
38 earlier, that tonnage and metre cube are closely allied.
39
40 Q. It may have seemed obvious, but that is why I asked you.
41 It is not coincidence because you are saying that a metre
42 cube of roundwood comes out as near as makes no difference
43 at one metric tonne?
44 A. Yes, it is a common parlance.
45
46 Q. It is a happy coincidence if one needs to do some
47 arithmetic?
48 A. It makes it a bit easier, but it allows me to say that
49 in terms of the ultimate waste, which is the remainder of
50 waste which eventually of course if such is substantial
51 will be burned, the 820 is actually just a makeup figure so
52 that the figures actually add up. But it would obviously
53 be less or more according to the conversion between metre
54 cube and tonnage.
55
56 MR. MORRIS: The sawmill residues, fibre for panels and pulp
57 1,261 tonnes, you say that in that particular factory only
58 180 cubic metres of that get used?
59 A. From the sawmill transferred to a pulp. The two
60 operations are separate.
