, <br /> ' _ <br /> , <br /> Although not precisely measured,buckthorn trees observed on the site represented approximately <br /> IO-15% of the total invasive cover. Most buckthorn observed was less than 1.5" in diameter and <br /> will likely be foliar treated. It is suggested buckthorn trees greater than 1.5"in diameter be <br /> stump cut, and their trunks and branches be hauled off the site. . <br /> Diseased and Dying Tpee Removal Plan -Tree ID number, diameter breast height (DBH), and <br /> species and for all trees tagged during the field tree survey are induced in Appendix B. Trees <br /> #21, #52, and#141 are forked near the base and one section is split or dying and should be <br /> removed. The healthy fork trunks of the trees can remain. Trees #41,#44,#58 should be <br /> removed entirely. Trees identified here are hazard trees and area in locations that would <br /> endanger property and/r other trees. Due to their exiting low quality, mitigation for these trees is <br /> not proposed. <br /> Other dead, drying,or fallen trees located within STS 1 and STS2 (Figure 4) could be left in <br /> place if they do not pose a safety hazard. Snags (dead, dying, and lying trees) can provide <br /> valuable wildlife habitat to a wide variety of birds and mammals. <br /> Tree Protection and Mitigation Plan -The proposed plan will impact 6 healthy trees (#1, #2, #3, <br /> #4,#5, and#73) (Figure 6)due to building pad location. Trees 1�, 3 and 5 are blue spruce and <br /> appear to be planted landscape plants. Trees 2 and 4,are green ash and appear to be planted <br /> landscape plants. Tree 73 is a hydrid poplar(invasive) and also appears to be a planted landscape <br /> plant. <br /> As mitigation for these tree impacts, six (6) native trees or shrubs will be planted in the <br /> northwest portion of the project area. Native cedar trees, spruce trees, or sumac shrubs are <br /> suggested as they will blend in with existing tree and shrub species in grassland areas. <br /> Trees within tree stands located along the driveway(Figure 4) will not be impacted by <br /> development as sewer and water will be directionally drilled. <br /> ��C��@��� <br /> Page 4 of 4 JAN 19 2 011 <br /> �'s���F Of���� f . <br />
