SCHOELL � MADSON, INC. � Mr. Mike Gaffron 7 May 21, 1997 wind in the planting area will be made. Additional soil erosion control measures are in section Sa. . . Tree Preservation- . All suitable trees to be removed will be harvested for lumber. All grubbed materials «zll be disposed of via chipping, burning or burying. Efforts will be taken during the grubbing to fell trees away from areas to be preserved and into future fairway areas. In an aim to prevent the spread of diseases,primarily Oak Wilt, any grubbina and construction done during the months of May and June shall be done in such a manner as to � minimize wounding of any trees of the Red Oak family. `Vhere economically feasible to do so, . trees of this type that are inadvertently wounded will be dressed. Trees of the Red Oak family and Elm family that are grubbed will be disposed of via burninQ or chipping. This eliminates potential overwintering sites for members of the Nitidaclidea beetle family in oaks and Scolytus multistriatirs and Hylurgopinus ra�pes in elms. These beetles are vectors of Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease respectively. • Efforts shall be made to avoid the entry of grubbing and construction equipment within the area designated for tree preservation to avoid compaction of the soil and fracturinQ of roots by roping or temporary fencing. Additionally,topsoil that is removed and set aside during the grading will not be placed in areas designated as tree preservation to avoid effectively suffocating the rootlets. b. The possibility of change in the local water table can not be quantitatively determined without an in depth hydrologic analysis. It is recognized that the conversion of forested areas to fairways will decrease the amount of evapotranspiration. The conversion may result in a sliQhtly larger volume of water in wetland areas. The only basins this may have an impact on are the t�vo isolated basins, not connected to the natural drainage system. This potential increase w-ill not .significantly effect the functions or values of these wetlands. c. Trees in some areas of impacts are proposed to be transplanted in natural areas on site. (See 2 b. Assessment of Habitat Impacts, 2 e. Mitigation of Habitat Impacts and 3 a. Tree Preservation) Other mitiQation measures have been addressed throuah project desion. • PAGE 2 OF 2
