An RVD is a unit of measurement which equates to a single
day's visit to the Allegheny National Forest. Measurement of
RVD's was taken for the area located nearby and associated
with the Allegheny Reservoir, according to the report. The
reservoir is also known as Kinzua Lake.
The figure of $2,480,000 per million visitor's days is
significant because in the year measured, 1998, the ANF
counted 2.44 million of these trips by tourists. The total dollar
figure related to tourism around Kinzua Lake alone, amounts
to more than 5.5 million dollars in the year 1998.
The 5.5 million dollar figure for tourism around Kinzua Lake
compares closely with total receipts from timber sales to the
counties surrounding the Allegheny National Forest: Warren,
Forest, McKean, and Elk.
According to the ANF headquarters in Warren, "Supervisor
Kathleen Morse of the Allegheny National Forest (NF)
announced today that the four counties surrounding the NF will
receive $6,427,344.22 in receipts from the United States
Treasury through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
Kinzua Lake is mostly within the borders of Warren County.
Its government and school district received timber subsidies
of $1,838,571.69 for the year 2005, according to forest
supervisor Kathleen Morse's report .

FOREST RECEIPTS" in the bottom half of the ANF news page.
No press release was made on the contribution of tourism
from the Allegheny National Forest to the local economies.
