Hazard trees. Hazard trees may be removed if the hazard cannot be eliminated by pruning, crown thinning, or other technique that maintains some habitat function. Hazard tree removal may be mitigated without a mitigation plan by conversion of the hazard tree to a wildlife snag or the installation of a similar tree. Native tree removal in shoreline jurisdiction must be mitigated by the installation of a similar native tree at a 1:1 impact to mitigation ratio. Non-native tree removal in shoreline buffers must be mitigated by installation of a native or suitable non-native tree at a 1:1 impact to mitigation ratio. All mitigation trees shall be preferentially placed in the shoreline buffer, unless the trees provide connectivity to upland habitats or other critical areas.

Hazard tree removal may be mitigated without a mitigation plan by conversion of the hazard tree to a wildlife snag or the installation of a similar tree. Native tree removal in shoreline jurisdiction must be mitigated by the installation of a similar native tree at a 1:1 impact to mitigation ratioratio , except the ratio is 1:2 for native trees removed in buffers. Non-native tree removal in shoreline buffers must be mitigated by installation of a native or suitable non-native tree at a 1:1 impact to mitigation ratio. All mitigation trees shall be preferentially placed in the shoreline buffer, unless the trees provide connectivity to upland habitats or other critical areas.
