PORTLAND (AP) – Plum Creek Timber Co. is issuing an apology for a logging operation that resulted in erosion problems on land it owns in western Maine.

Plum Creek spokesman Mark Doty said the company stopped the cutting as soon it got word last fall of erosion problems in Kibby Township in Franklin County.

Plum Creek owns the land that a logging contractor was clearing for TransCanada, which is developing a wind farm on Kibby Mountain.

The Natural Resources Council of Maine released photos of the erosion, which it described as a 900-foot-long mudslide. The group is calling on the state’s Land Use Regulation Commission to fine Plum Creek and the contractor.
