MATTER OF: CE


THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. D.C. 20549


               DATE: July 15, 1981
edar River Watershed Area


DIGEST:


    Although prior decision rendered at request
    of Forest Service holds that easement which
    grants to Government use of road system
    within watershed to transport timber from
    its lands within watershed or tributary
    thereto permits transport of Government
    timber from outside lands not in immediate
    proximity to watershed, new information indi-
    cates matter is much more complex than it
    first appeared. However, no clear showing
    has been made that prior decision was
    erroneous. Consequently GAO denies request
    to modify or overrule prior decision.


    Mountain Tree Farm and the City of Seattle request
that our decision, Cedar River Watershed Area, B-189970,
December 16, 1977, 77-2 CPD 473, be reversed or vacated
on grounds it fails to consider relevant evidence, mis-
takenly evaluates evidence which was considered and is
contrary to law. Mountain Tree Farm is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Scott Paper Company and Weyerhaeuser
Company which join in the request but, for convenience,
the three companies will be referred to as Mountain Tree
Farm.

    As pointed out in our initial decision, the Cedar
River Watershed area is subject to the Cedar River
Watershed Cooperative Agreement (Cooperative Agreement),
dated May 28, 1962, entered into by the U.S. Forest
Service, Department of Agriculture, the City of Seattle
and Mountain Tree Farm for the  * * * coordinated and
orderly management of the participating forest properties
