FW Trees on TxDOT project CSJ 0364-02-017 SH121 0 549 miles before Tarrant Dallas County line to 0 243 miles after Tarrant Denton County lineGentlemen;
Please see below information provided by our Advanced Planning. We
are aware that some of the larger trees will have to be removed in order
to place not only yours, but other utilities as well. Please base your
proposed relocation plans with the below information considered.
Call or contact as necessary.

Gary,
The approved CE described the effects to the trees as “approximately 11
acres of wooded areas would be converted to highway ROW by this
project”.
Tree removal can occur for utility installation and roadway
construction within all the ROW areas.
Best Management Practices would include:
1. Avoidance measures would be used to avoid impacts to mature
trees where possible.
2. Avoid impacts to mature trees that are outside of the
safety-clear zone of the roadway.
3. Avoid impacts to mature trees that are outside of a 15 foot
border width to from an elevated structure and to preserve access to the
elevated structure for future inspections and maintenance.

Stan;
Please see attached. The City of Coppell has questions about the
trees that are in the direct line of their proposed water line (as shown
on the attached). Their question to us was which trees (if any) were
planned to be left in place. It is our surmise that due to no existing
businesses in the area that may request leaving the trees for aesthetic
reasons, we let them remove whatever trees necessary for them to install
their proposed line.
Can you tell me if there are any specific items/etc. in the plans that
show what to do with the trees other than remove?
Also, a lot of the trees (not only the ones in conflict with the
proposed line, but throughout the area of the project) have yellow
ribbons tied around them. Do you have any idea what they are for?
Please reply.
Thanks,
