Vegetation Removal. A. Vegetation removal must be limited to the minimum necessary to accommodate approved shoreline development. Mitigation sequencing per regulation 6.3(3) must be applied unless specifically excluded by other shoreline provisions, so that the design and location of the structure or development minimizes short- and long-term vegetation removal. The City may require site plan alterations to achieve maximum vegetation retention.
B. Where vegetation removal conducted consistent with this section results in adverse impacts to shoreline ecological function, new developments or site alterations are required to develop and implement a mitigation plan unless specifically excluded by other shoreline provisions. Examples of actions that may result in adverse impacts include:
1. Removal of native trees, shrubs or groundcovers;
2. Removal of non-native trees or shrubs that overhang aquatic areas or stabilize slopes; or
3. Removal of native or non-native trees or shrubs that disrupts an existing vegetation corridor connecting the property to other critical areas or buffers.
Vegetation Removal. 1. Crews shall remove all shrubs and vegetation unintentionally growing on channel slopes and access walkways.
2. Where the trunk is less than four (4) inches vegetation shall be removed by pulling to remove roots.
3. Where the trunk is greater than four (4) inches vegetation shall be cut a maximum of two (2) inches above the ground and the xxxxx shall be completely and thoroughly sprayed.
4. Crew shall be familiar with and not remove or trim any native vegetation species. Any native vegetation shall be noted on the work order and brought to the attention of County’s Project Manager.
Vegetation Removal removal of vegetation that directly reduces a facility’s capacity and/or endangers a facility, including overhanging branches or tree limbs.
Vegetation Removal. Disturbance or removal of vegetation shall be kept to the minimum necessary to complete project related activities.
Vegetation Removal. (i) Vegetation removal is not to take place within 15.0 metres of top of bank. (the “Works”)
Vegetation Removal. Disturbance or removal of vegetation shall be kept to the minimum necessary to complete project related activities. Except for tree removal already described in the Project Impacts section above, no native trees with a trunk DBH in excess of four inches shall be removed or damaged without prior consultation and approval of a CDFW representative. Where native trees or woody riparian vegetation split into several trunks close to ground level, the DBH shall be measured for each trunk and calculated as one tree. Vegetation that will not be removed by the project shall be marked for protection and may only be trimmed with hand tools (e.g., trimmer, chain saw, etc.) to the extent necessary to gain access to the work sites. Heavy equipment shall not be used for vegetation removal.
Vegetation Removal. It is recommended that a Forestry Mower or similar attached to a Bobcat or Skidsteer be utilized for items 7.1 – 7.5. However, other methods may be utilized if agreed upon by the COR. Note that all say cut to GROUND level.
Vegetation Removal. A. Vegetation removal must be limited to the minimum necessary to accommodate approved shoreline development. The City may require site plan alterations to achieve maximum vegetation retention.
B. Vegetation removal within shoreline setbacks, except for the removal of noxious weeds per regulation 6.6(7), requires the development and implementation of a mitigation plan prepared pursuant to regulation 6.6(9).
Vegetation Removal. The disturbance or removal of vegetation shall not exceed the minimum necessary to complete work. Precautions shall be taken to avoid other damage to vegetation by people or equipment. Except for trees on dam and levee embankments, any trees which must be cut shall be cut at ground level, leaving the root mass in place to maintain bank stability. Avoid impacts to active bird nests.
Vegetation Removal. The Professional shall inspect all trees adjacent to transmission line easements and identify trees with limbs overhanging or growing into the line facilities. The inspection shall also identify trees capable of growing into the line safety zone or trees (such as those that are structurally dead, weak, or dying) that might fall onto the line in the future.
