WHEN REQUIRED, THE MINIMUM LENGTH OF THE BORE SHALL BE THE WIDTH
OF THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONE AND SHALL BE A MINIMUM DEPTH OF FORTY
(48) INCHES.
TRENCHING: ALL TRENCHING SHALL BE DESIGNED TO AVOID TRENCHING
ACROSS CRITICAL ROOT ZONES OF ANY PROTECTED TREE. THE PLACEMENT
OF UNDERGROUND UTILITY LINES SUCH AS ELECTRIC, PHONE, GAS, ETC., IS
ENCOURAGED TO BE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONE.
tRENCHING FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS SHALL BE PLACED OUTSIDE THE
CRITICAL ROOT ZONE EXCEPT THE MINIMUM REQUIRED SINGLE HEAD
SUPPLY LINE. THIS LINE IS ALLOWED TO EXTEND INTO THE CRITICAL ROOT
ZONE PERPENDICULAR TOT HE TREE TRUNK WITH THE LEAST POSSIBLE
DISTURBANCE.
TREES TO BE REMOVED: ALL TREES TO BE REMOVED FROM THE SITE SHALL
BE FLAGGED BY THE CONTRACTOR WITH BRIGHT RED VINYL TAPE WRAPPED
AROUND THE MAIN TRUNK AT A HEIGHT OF FOUR (4) FEET ABOVE GRADE.
TREES TO REMAIN: ALL TREES TO REMAIN, AS NOTED ON DRAWINGS, SHALL
HAVE PROTECTIVE FENCING LOCATED AT THE TREE'S DRIP LINE. THE
PROTECTIVE FENCING SHALL BE LOCATED AS INDICATED ON THE TREE
PROTECTION DETAIL.
EXISTING TREES NOTED TO REMAIN SHALL BE PROTECTED DURING
CONSTRUCTION FROM DAMAGE AND COMPACTION OF SOIL UNDER AND
AROUND DRIP LINE OF TREE.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL THE CONTRACTOR PRUNE ANY PORTION
OF THE DAMAGED TREE WITHOUT THE PRIOR APPROVAL BY THE OWNER'S
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.
PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES IN CRITICAL ROOT ZONE:
THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES ARE PROHIBITED IN THE AREAS NOTED AS THE
CRITICAL ROOT ZONE.
MATERIAL STORAGE: NO MATERIALS INTENDED FOR USE IN CONSTRUCTION,
OR WASTE MATERIALS ACCUMULATED DUE TO EXCAVATION OR DEMOLITION,
SHALL BE PLACED WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONE OF ANY
PROTECTED TREE.
EQUIPMENT CLEANING /LIQUID DISPOSAL: NO EQUIPMENT SHALL BE
CLEANED, OR OTHER LIQUIDS DEPOSITED OR ALLOWED WITHIN THE LIMITS
OF THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONE OF A PROTECTED TREE. THIS INCLUDES,
WITHOUT LIMITATION: PAINT, OIL, SOLVENTS, ASPHALT, CONCRETE, MORTAR

TRAFFIC, OR PARKING SHALL TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE
CRITICAL ROOT ZONE OF ANY PROTECTED TREE OTHER THAN ON EXISTING
STREET PAVEMENT.
GRADE CHANGES: A MINIMUM OF 75% OF THE DRIP LINE AND ROOT ZONE
SHALL BE PRESERVED AT NATURAL GRADE. ANY FINE GRADING DONE WITHIN
THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONES OF THE PROTECTED TREES MUST BE DONE WITH
LIGHT MACHINERY SUCH AS A BOBCAT OR LIGHT TRACTOR. NO EARTH
MOVING EQUIPMENT WITH TRACKS IS ALLOWED WITHIN THE CRITICAL ROOT
ZONE OF THE TREES.
PROCEDURES REQUIRED PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION:
PROTECTIVE FENCING: PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION, THE CONTRACTOR OR
SUBCONTRACTOR SHALL CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN, FOR EACH PROTECTED
TREE ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE, APROTECTIVE FENCING WHICH ENCIRCLES
THE OUTER LIMITS OF THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONE OF THE TREE TO PROTECT
IT FROM CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY. ALL PROTECTIVE FENCING SHALL BE IN
PLACE PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF ANY SITE WORK, AND REMAIN IN
PLACE UNTIL ALL EXTERIOR WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
BARK PROTECTION: IN SITUATIONS WHERE A PROTECTED TREE REMAINS IN
THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF INTENDED CONSTRUCTION, AND THE LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT OR OWNERS'S REPRESENTATIVE DETERMINES THE TREE BARK TO
BE IN DANGER OF DAMAGE BY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT OR OTHER
ACTIVITY, THE CONTRACTOR OR SUBCONTRACTOR SHALL PROTECT THE
TREE BY ENCLOSING THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TREE WITH 2 "X4"
