SCHOELL Sl MAC3SON, INC. <br />Mr. Mike Gaffron May 21, 1997 <br />wind in the planting area will be made. Additional soil erosion control measures are in section <br />5 a. <br />Tree Preser\ ation <br />All suitable trees to be removed will be harvested for lumber. All grubbed materials will <br />be disposed of via chipping, burning or burying. Efforts will be taken during the grubbing to <br />fell trees away from areas to be preserved and into future fairway areas. <br />In an aim to prevent the spread of diseases, primarily Oak Wilt, any grubbing and <br />construction done during the months of May and June shall be done in such a manner as to <br />minimize wounding of any trees of the Red Oak family. WTiere economically feasible to do so, <br />trees of this type that are inadvertently wounded will be dressed. <br />Trees of the Red Oak family and Elm family that are grubbed will be disposed of via <br />burning or chipping. This eliminates potential overwintering sites for members of the <br />Niticiulidea beetle family in oaks and Scolytus miiltistriatus and Hylur^)pinus rufipes in elms. <br />These beetles are vectors of Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease respectively. <br />Efforts shall be made to avoid the entry of grubbing and construction equipment within <br />the area designated for tree preservation to avoid compaction of the soil and fracturing of roots <br />by roping or temporarv- fencing. Additionally, topsoil that is removed and set aside during the <br />grading will not be placed in areas designated as tree preservation to avoid effectively <br />suffocatine the rootlets. <br />W <br />b. The possibility of change in the local water table can not be quantitatively detemiined <br />vvithoi't an in depth hydrologic analysis. It is recognized that the conversion of forested areas to <br />fairways will decrease the amount of evapotranspiration. The conversion may result in a slightly <br />larger volume of water in wetland areas. The only basins this may have an impact on are the two <br />isolated basins, not connected to the natural drainage system. This potential increase will not <br />significantly effect the functions or values of these wetlands. <br />c. Trees in some areas of impacts are proposed to be transplanted in natural areas on site. <br />(See 2 b. Assessment of Habitat Impacts. 2 e. Mitigation of Habitat Impacts and 3 a. Tree <br />Preservation) Other mitigation measures have been addressed through project design.
