ITEM 2.05. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

      (a)	On October 20, 2005, the Weyerhaeuser Company Board of Directors
approved the closure of a specialty pulp mill in Cosmopolis, Washington.  The
140,000 tons-per-year, 50-year-old Cosmopolis mill makes specialty pulp for
plastics, photographic papers and cigarette filters, employing approximately 245
hourly and salaried people. As the company's only specialty pulp operation, it
is not competitive with other companies in this market and is not a strategic
fit for the company.  The capital needs of the mill combined with increasing
operating costs -- particularly for energy and chemicals - erode the mill's
competitive position.  The date operations will cease will be determined in
2006, based on customer contracts.

	(b)	In the third quarter of 2005, the company recognized a charge to
earnings in the amount of $15 million pre-tax relating to the impairment of the
assets in connection with the closure of the Cosmopolis pulp facility, and a
charge of $13 million, pre-tax for termination benefits.

	(c)   In the third quarter of 2005, the company recognized total charges
in the amount of $28 million pre-tax relating to the closure of the Cosmopolis
pulp facility.

	(d)	The company expects to incur $13 million of cash expenditures
relating to termination benefits.
