Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation General. When we refer to Plum Creek, the company, we, us, or our, we mean Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and all of its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Plum Creek and its subsidiaries.At June30, 2009, the company owned and managed approximately 7.2million acres of timberlands in the Northwest, Southern, and Northeast United States, and owned and operated eight wood product conversion facilities in the Northwest United States. Included in the 7.2million acres are about 1.5million acres of higher and better use timberlands, which are expected to be sold and/or developed over approximately the next 15 years for recreational, conservation or residential purposes. In addition, the company has approximately 250,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands, which are expected to be sold over the next five years. In the meantime, all of these timberlands continue to be used productively in our business of growing and selling timber. Plum Creek has elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the United States Internal Revenue Code and, as such, generally does not pay corporate-level income tax. However, the company conducts certain non-REIT activities through various taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to corporate-level income tax. These activities include our manufacturing operations, the harvesting and selling of logs, and the development and/or sales of some of our higher and better use timberlands. Plum Creeks overall effective tax rate is lower than the federal statutory corporate rate due to Plum Creeks status as a REIT. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. All transactions are denominated in United States dollars. The consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q are unaudited and do not contain all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a full set of financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet at December31, 2008, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The audited financial statements in the companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K include a summary of significant accounting policies of the company and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in this Form 10-Q. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. New Accounting Pronouncements (Adopted during 2009) SFAS No.165. In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No.165).

Antidilutive options were as follows for the quarterly and six-month periods ended June30 (shares in millions): QuarterEndedJune30, 2009 2008 Number of Options 2.2 1.0 Range of Exercise Prices $33.75to$43.23 $39.31to$43.23 Expiration on or before February 2019 May 2018 Six Months Ended June30, 2009 2008 Number of Options 2.3 0.9 Range of Exercise Prices $30.70to$43.23 $39.31to$43.23 Expiration on or before February 2019 May 2018 |
Variable Interest Entities | Note 3. Variable Interest Entities On October1, 2008, the company contributed 454,000 acres of timberlands located in its Southern Resources Segment to Southern Diversified Timber, LLC (the Timberland Venture) in exchange for a $705 million preferred interest and a 9% common interest valued at $78 million. Following the contribution, the company borrowed $783 million from the Timberland Venture (Note Payable to Timberland Venture). The Timberland Venture is a variable interest entity in accordance with FASB Interpretation No.46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46(R)). Besides quarterly interest payments on the Note Payable to Timberland Venture, the company has not provided financing or other support to the venture. The venture is financed by a line of credit obtained by the Timberland Venture. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Timberland Venture. The company does not manage the day-to-day operations of the venture, has only limited protective rights and its involvement is generally limited to receiving distributions on its preferred and common interests. We are not the primary beneficiary because we are not required to absorb the majority of the expected losses as defined by FIN 46(R). The common interests are required to absorb losses based on positive capital accounts before any losses can be allocated to our preferred interest, and we own a 9% common interest. The carrying amount of the investment in the venture is $203 million at June30, 2009 and $199 million at December31, 2008, and it is reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Equity Investment in Timberland Venture. The increase in the investment is a result of recognizing equity earnings of $29 million, offset by a preferred cash distribution of $25 million paid by the Timberland Venture to the company during the first quarter of 2009. Our maximum exposure to loss is $203 million, the carrying amount of the investment in the venture. Generally, losses are first allocated among the common interests based on positive capital accounts in which we hold a 9% common interest. No losses are allocated to our preferred interest ($705 million) until the common interests have absorbed losses of approximately $861 million. |

Property, Plant and Equipment | Note 6. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant and Equipment consisted of the following (in millions): June30,2009 December31,2008 Land, Buildings and Improvements $ 86 $ 92 Machinery and Equipment 306 310 392 402 Accumulated Depreciation (232 ) (225 ) Property, Plant and Equipment, net $ 160 $ 177 During the first quarter of 2009, the company conducted an analysis to rationalize and consolidate its lumber operations. The analysis was performed by the company due to the significant and sustained decline in lumber demand along with the companys expectations for continued weakness in this business. As a result of this analysis, the company concluded that certain of its lumber manufacturing assets were impaired. Consequently, during the first quarter of 2009, the company recorded an impairment charge of $10 million related to these lumber manufacturing assets. During the second quarter of 2008, the company recorded an impairment charge of $10 million related to its lumber manufacturing assets. The impairment losses are reflected in the operating income of the Manufactured Products Segment and included in Cost of Goods Sold for Manufacturing in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the impaired assets was determined by the company using expected future cash flows discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of interest. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Income Taxes | Note 7. Income Taxes Plum Creek has elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. A REIT generally does not pay corporate-level income tax if it distributes 100% of its taxable income to shareholders and satisfies other organizational and operational requirements as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. If a company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. As a consequence of the October6, 2001 merger with The Timber Company, which involved merging a taxable entity into a nontaxable entity, Plum Creek will generally be subject to corporate-level tax (built-in gains tax) if the company makes a taxable disposition of certain property acquired in the merger within the ten-year period following the merger date. The built-in gains tax applies to gains from such asset sales to the extent that the fair value of the property exceeds its tax basis at the merger date. Built-in gains tax is generally not payable on dispositions of property to the extent the proceeds from such dispositions are reinvested in qualifying like-kind replacement property. The built-in gains tax does not apply to income generated from the harvesting and sale of timber. In connection with the merger with The Timber Company, Plum Creek wrote-off all of The Timber Companys deferred income tax liability related to timber and timberlands except for $11 million. The $11 million deferred income tax liability related to the book-tax basis difference of timber and timberlands that were expected to be sold, and subject to, the built-in gains tax during the ten-year period ending October6, 2011. During the period October6, 2001 to December31, 2008, the $11 million deferred income tax liability was reduced by $5 million due to a remeasurement of the amount of deferred income taxes needed and by $2 million due to the payment or accrual of tax in connection with sales of timberlands subject to the built-in gains tax. At December31, 2008, the company estimated it needed a deferred tax liability of approximately $4 million based on projected timberland sales subject to the built-in gains tax for the period January1, 2009 to October6, 2011, and Plum Creeks ability to successfully reinvest proceeds in like-kind properties. During the first quarter of 2009, because of a change in tax law the company estimated it needs a deferred tax liability of $1 million in connection with expected sales of timberlands that are subject to the built-in gains tax. Therefore, in accordance with the remeasurement requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the company reduced its deferred tax liability by $3 million during the first quarter of 2009. Furthermore in the first quarter of 2009, because of the change in tax law the company reversed $5 million of tax expense related to built-in gains that had been accrued in 2008. |
Borrowings | Note 8. Borrowings Debt consisted of the following (in millions): June30,2009 December31,2008 Variable Rate Debt Term Credit Agreement (A) $ 350 $ 350 Term Credit Agreement (B) 250 250 Revolving Line of Credit (C) 206 231 Fixed Rate Debt Senior Notes 1,213 1,351 Note Payable to Timberland Venture 783 783 Total Debt 2,802 2,965 Less:Current Portion (110 ) (158 ) Long-Term Portion $ 2,692 $ 2,807 (A) As of June30, 2009, the interest rate on the $350 million term credit agreement was 0.76%. (B) As of June30, 2009, the interest rate on the $250 million term credit agreement was 1.31%. (C) As of June30, 2009, the weighted-average interest rate for the borrowings on the line of credit was 0.72%. As of June30, 2009, we had $206 million of borrowings and $14million of standby letters of credit outstanding; $530 million remained available for borrowing under our $750 million line of credit. As of July1, 2009, all of the borrowings outstanding under our line of credit were repaid. During March 2009, the company paid approximately $4 million to retire $5 million of principal for Senior Notes due in 2015. As a result, the company recognized a gain of $1 million which was net of associated unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies Contingencies. The company is subject to regulations regarding forest and harvest practices and is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings, including environmental and regulatory matters, incidental to its business. Reserves have been established for any probable losses. Environmental Contingencies. In connection with the October6, 2001 merger with The Timber Company, Plum Creek agreed to indemnify Georgia-Pacific for substantially all of the liabilities attributed to The Timber Company. During 2003, Georgia-Pacific provided Plum Creek with information about the existence of mine tailings and acidic surface water on approximately 90 acres in Hot Spring County, Arkansas, on former Georgia-Pacific properties. Barite mining and related activities were conducted on the site between 1939 and 1981 in part by lessees of an entity that was acquired by Georgia-Pacific. A remediation plan has not yet been approved. The company believes that it has strong defenses in the matter. Furthermore, to the extent Plum Creek is required to indemnify Georgia-Pacific for its share of the remediation costs, Plum Creek may be able to recover all or a portion of its cost from Georgia-Pacifics insurance policy, or indemnity obligations of the various lessees that conducted mining operations on the property, or both. The company believes it will be successful in defending the claim. If the company is not successful in defending this claim, we believe that any loss would not be material to our financial position or results of operations. Unrecorded Contingencies. Management currently believes that resolving other pending legal proceedings against the company, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and managements view on these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome in one or multiple legal proceedings to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position and the results of operations for the period in which any unfavorable outcome becomes reasonably estimable. |

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation General. Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. is a Delaware Limited Partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. (Parent) is a Delaware Corporation and real estate investment trust, or REIT. References herein to the Operating Partnership, we, us, or our relate to Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. and all of its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries; references to Plum Creek relate to Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. At June30, 2009, the Operating Partnership owned and managed approximately 7.2million acres of timberlands in the Northwest, Southern, and Northeast United States, and owned and operated eight wood product conversion facilities in the Northwest United States. Included in the 7.2million acres are about 1.5million acres of higher and better use timberlands, which are expected to be sold and/or developed over approximately the next 15 years for recreational, conservation or residential purposes. In addition, the Operating Partnership has approximately 250,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands, which are expected to be sold over the next five years. In the meantime, all of these timberlands continue to be used productively in our business of growing and selling timber. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. and its subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership is 100% owned by the Parent. The Parent has no assets or liabilities other than its ownership interests in Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. and Plum Creek Ventures I, LLC (PC Ventures), a 100% owned subsidiary. Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. has no operations other than its investment in these subsidiaries and transactions in its own equity, such as the issuance and/or repurchase of common stock and the receipt of proceeds from stock option exercises. Intercompany transactions and accounts between Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. All transactions are denominated in United States dollars. Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the United States Internal Revenue Code and, as such, generally does not pay corporate-level income tax. However, the Operating Partnership conducts certain non-REIT activities through various taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to corporate-level income tax. These activities include our manufacturing operations, the harvesting and selling of logs, and the development and/or sale of some of our higher and better use timberlands. The Operating Partnerships tax provision includes the tax expense and/or benefit associated with Plum Creeks taxable REIT subsidiaries, as well as any tax expense and/or benefit attributable to the REIT. The effective tax rate for the Operating Partnership is lower than the federal statutory corporate rate due to Plum Creeks status as a REIT. The consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q are unaudited and do not contain all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted ac |
Variable Interest Entities | Note 2. Variable Interest Entities On October1, 2008, a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership contributed 454,000 acres of timberlands located in its Southern Resources Segment to Southern Diversified Timber, LLC (the Timberland Venture) in exchange for a $705 million preferred interest and a 9% common interest valued at $78 million. Following the contribution, Plum Creek Ventures I, LLC (PC Ventures), a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc., borrowed $783 million from the Timberland Venture. PC Ventures used the proceeds from the borrowing to make a $783 million capital contribution to the Operating Partnership. The Timberland Venture is a variable interest entity in accordance with FASB Interpretation No.46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46(R)). Besides quarterly interest payments on the loan by PC Ventures, the Operating Partnership has not provided financing or other support to the venture. The venture is financed by a line of credit obtained by the Timberland Venture. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Timberland Venture. The Operating Partnership does not manage the day-to-day operations of the venture, has only limited protective rights and its involvement is generally limited to receiving distributions on its preferred and common interests. We are not the primary beneficiary because we are not required to absorb the majority of the expected losses as defined by FIN 46(R). The common interests are required to absorb losses based on positive capital accounts before any losses can be allocated to our preferred interest, and we own a 9% common interest. The carrying amount of the investment in the venture is $203 million at June30, 2009 and $199 million at December31, 2008, and it is reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Equity Investment in Timberland Venture. The increase in the investment is a result of recognizing equity earnings of $29 million, offset by a preferred cash distribution of $25 million paid by the Timberland Venture to the Operating Partnership during the first quarter of 2009. Our maximum exposure to loss is $203 million, the carrying amount of the investment in the venture. Generally, losses are first allocated among the common interests based on positive capital accounts in which we hold a 9% common interest. No losses are allocated to our preferred interest ($705 million) until the common interests have absorbed losses of approximately $861 million. |

The analysis was performed by the Operating Partnership due to the significant and sustained decline in lumber demand along with the Operating Partnerships expectations for continued weakness in this business. As a result of this analysis, the Operating Partnership concluded that certain of its lumber manufacturing assets were impaired. Consequently, during the first quarter of 2009, the Operating Partnership recorded an impairment charge of $10 million related to these lumber manufacturing assets. During the second quarter of 2008, the Operating Partnership recorded an impairment charge of $10 million related to its lumber manufacturing assets. The impairment losses are reflected in the operating income of the Manufactured Products Segment and included in Cost of Goods Sold for Manufacturing in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the impaired assets was determined by the Operating Partnership using expected future cash flows discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of interest. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Income Taxes | Note 6. Income Taxes Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P.s taxable income is allocated 100% to its parent, Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc., which has elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. A REIT generally does not pay corporate-level income tax if it distributes 100% of its taxable income to shareholders and satisfies other organizational and operational requirements as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. However, the Operating Partnership conducts certain non-REIT activities through various wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to corporate-level income tax. These activities include our manufacturing operations, the harvesting and sale of logs, and the development and/or sale of some higher and better use timberlands. The Operating Partnerships tax provision includes the tax expense and/or benefit associated with Plum Creeks wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, as well as any tax expense and/or benefit attributable to the REIT. The effective tax rate for the Operating Partnership is lower than the federal corporate statutory rate primarily due to Plum Creeks status as a REIT. If a company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. As a consequence of the October6, 2001 merger with The Timber Company, which involved merging a taxable entity into a nontaxable entity, Plum Creek will generally be subject to corporate-level tax (built-in gains tax) if Plum Creek makes a taxable disposition of certain property acquired in the merger within the ten-year period following the merger date. The built-in gains tax applies to gains from such asset sales to the extent that the fair value of the property exceeds its tax basis at the merger date. Built-in gains tax is generally not payable on dispositions of property to the extent the proceeds from such dispositions are reinvested in qualifying like-kind replacement property. The built-in gains tax does not apply to income generated from the harvesting and sale of timber. In connection with Plum Creeks merger with The Timber Company, Plum Creek wrote-off all of The Timber Companys deferred income tax liability related to timber and timberlands except for $11 million. The $11 million deferred income tax liability related to the book-tax basis difference of timber and timberlands that were expected to be sold, and subject to, the built-in gains tax during the ten-year period ending October6, 2011. During the period October6, 2001 to December31, 2008, the $11 million deferred income tax liability was reduced by $5 million due to a remeasurement of the amount of deferred income taxes needed and by $2 million due to the payment or accrual of tax in connection with sales of timberlands subject to the built-in gains tax. At December31, 2008, it was estimated that Plum Creek needed a deferred tax liability of approximately $4 million based on projected timberland sales subject to the built-in gains tax for the period January1, 2 |
Borrowings | Note 7. Borrowings Debt consisted of the following (in millions): June30,2009 December31,2008 Variable Rate Debt Term Credit Agreement (A) $ 350 $ 350 Term Credit Agreement (B) 250 250 Revolving Line of Credit (C) 206 231 Fixed Rate Debt Senior Notes 1,213 1,351 Total Debt 2,019 2,182 Less:Current Portion (110 ) (158 ) Long-Term Portion $ 1,909 $ 2,024 (A) As of June30, 2009, the interest rate on the $350 million term credit agreement was 0.76%. (B) As of June30, 2009, the interest rate on the $250 million term credit agreement was 1.31%. (C) As of June30, 2009, the weighted-average interest rate for the borrowings on the line of credit was 0.72%. As of June30, 2009, we had $206 million of borrowings and $14million of standby letters of credit outstanding; $530 million remained available for borrowing under our $750 million line of credit. As of July1, 2009, all of the borrowings outstanding under our line of credit were repaid. During March 2009, the Operating Partnership paid approximately $4 million to retire $5 million of principal for Senior Notes due in 2015. As a result, the Operating Partnership recognized a gain of $1 million which was net of associated unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. The $1 million gain is classified as Gain on Extinguishment of Debt in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the six-months ended June30, 2009. |
