That estimate is from a local conversation group, talking about the type of trees, soil and natural water supply. I think it was published in the Rocky Mountain Outlook and should be a digital copy somewhere.
It's just a chunk of unusual terrain that will take significant time to rebuild, and is close to a lot of trails important to tourist activity in the area.
West Fraser probably really likes the existing roadwork leading to the area.
