At your request I visited the Village Inn Plaza to inspect and evaluate the trees on the east side of the property. The purpose of my visit was to inspect and evaluate the potential construction impacts to seven conifer trees growing on the east side of the building. The trees are a combination of Colorado Spruce (Picea pungens) and white fir (Abies concolor) ranging in size from 10 to 17 inches in diameter. The trees are located in a 25 foot wide strip (approximately) of soil between The Village Inn Plaza and the Solaris Building. The trees are suffering from the impacts of long term soil compaction and the more acute problems created by the near -by construction. Equipment tracks are present under and near the dripline on the east side of the trees, this is accompanied by a few broken branches and minor bark A 111 to the trunk. The proposed project is to construct a meandering, brick paver path that winds in and out of the dripline on the west side of the trees. As designed, the walkway ranges from 65-70 inches in width and will be constructed of pavers set in sand. The walkway starts at the north edge of the building and exits at the street. Cutting and filing will be required to reach the correct grade. The trees have a condition rating ranging from good to fair. The trees receiving a fair rating have minor damage to the branches and trunk likely resulting from equipment traffic on the east side of the trees. The damage appears to be acute and can be addressed by pruning and scribing the damaged bark. Most of the trees have discoloration in the foliage. I found no sign of insect or disease problems so I believed this was caused by root damage or drying of the foliage due to exhaust. Condition Rating is determined be evaluating the condition and damage to the roots, trunk, branches twigs and foliage. Each factor receives a numeric rating between 0 and 5 with 5 being no damage, ratings range for excellent to very poor. Tree Inventory and Condition Table 1 naa: Ci CQeneRt 4ai ;' 1 Colo.

Potential Construction Impacts and Mitigation Most trees on a construction site are impacted either directly or indirectly by construction activities. Direct impacts range from drastic activities such as removal down to minor actions such as light pruning and shallow soil compaction. Impacts can be acute or chronic, some damage is easily repaired while others may put the tree in irreversible decline leading to immediate death or a spiral of decline that can culminate many years after the project is completed. Several factors impact how a tree will respond to construction impacts including age, specie and condition. Colorado spruce trees are moderately tolerant of root loss and severance but tolerant of limited soil compaction and flooding. White fir trees are considered moderately tolerant of root loss and soil compaction but sensitive to flooding and soil saturation. Table 2 Construction Impacts 1 Grade raised a few inches to reach level grade in 2 Grade change outside of dripline 3 Grade change and rock wall constructed in dripline 4 Grade change and rock wall construction in dripline S Grade change and rock wall construction in dripline 6 Grade change in dripline 7 All activities outside of drip line. Tree Preservation Specifications To minimize direct impacts to trees all efforts will be made to limit activities within the critical root zone. The CRZ is an area around the tree that must be protected during construction. The size of the crz for each tree is summarized in the following table. Critical Root tone Table 3 Tree # CRZ (ft Tree # CRN(ftl T # CRZ(ft) diameter) dia1 17 4 12 16 2 12 5 16 In the case of all trees except tree #7 the construction activities will encroach on the CRZ. Mitigation measures addressing physical damage and soil compaction will be implemented to minimize the impacts of construction. The first goal of mitigation is to bring the trees to the best health possible prior to construction. Since the project will likely start this summer the door for pre construction improvements is quickly closing. The most proactive action is collecting soil samples to determine available nutrients in the soil. This will provide guidelines for future treatments. In addition to improving tree health, providing physical protection to the trees and soil by installing fencing and trunk protection to minimize damage to the trunk and root system. The second goal is to maintain health during the construction activities. This will include monitoring soil moisture and providing supplemental water if necessary and improving soil quality and nutrient availability in alignment with the soil test. Any root greater that 1 inch in diameter will be root pruned to encourage fibrous root growth and reduce the possibilities of rot fungi from migrating throughout the tree. Where grade will be lowered roots will likely be encountered. Any roots found that are greater than Y inch in diameter shall be pruned in accordance with the root pruning recommendations in the specifications for tree preservation. Lastly the trees must be maintained after the construction project is complete. After treatment will include vertical mulching to mitigate soil compaction and fertilization with root stimulant to address the loss of organic matter and damaged root zone. i Specifications for Tree Preservation Fertilizing 1. Deep root feed all spruce and pine trees to be preserved. 2. Feed with a root stimulating fertilizer. 3. Feeding will be performed in a radial pattern with the feeder needle being inserted 8 -10" below the soil surface. Insertions will be made at 18" intervals on the edge of the drip line. 4. The first feeding shall include an inoculation with mycorrhizae fungi. Fencing 1. Fence all trees to be retained to completely enclose the tree protection zone, as indicated in table 3 and the accompanying staging plan map, prior to clearing or grading. Chain link fencing panels shall be installed to protect the critical root zone. Fences will remain until construction is completed. 3. Construction traffic and material storage must remain outside of the fenced areas at all times. Pruning 1. A. Prune dead branches and branches that will impede pedestrian traffic. B. Prune branches to provide adequate clearance construction crew. 2. Pruning shall be performed or supervised by a certified arborist. The tree service must provide proof of insurance for liability and workers compensation. 3. All pruning will be within the Tree Pruning Guidelines (International Society of Arboriculture) and adhere to American National Standard for Tree Care Operations (ANSI A300). 4. Any additional tree pruning needed for clearance will be performed by an arborist, and not by construction personnel. Root Pruning 1. All encountered roots over 1/2 inch in diameter will be cut off with a sharp tool. 2. Root will be pruned with a sharp shovel, saw or by -pass pruning tool. 3. Root pruning will be performed prior to stumping and grubbing. 4. root pruning shall be performed or supervised by a certified arborist. 5. Roots should be exposed by hand, with an air spade or with a small excavator. Any digging to expose roots shall be done parallel to the tree to avoid breaking or tearing roots. General 1. Any activity within the tree protection zone must be approved and monitored by the Consulting Arborist. 2. Any herbicides placed under paving materials must be safe for use around trees and labeled for that use. 3, Any grading, construction, demolition or other work that may encounter tree roots should be monitored by the Consulting Arborist. 4. Do not store or dump excess soil chemicals, debris equipment or other materials within the tree protection zone. 5. Install and maintain a 4 "-6" layer of mulch within the tree protection zone. The mulch will help reduce soil compaction and moderate soil temperature. Monitoring Tree Health and Compliance Successful tree preservation programs start during the planning phase when critical design decisions are made. However, activities in the construction and post - construction phases are critical to successful tree preservation. In other words, trees cannot be preserved during construction but they can be killed during construction. Monitoring tree health and compliance during construction helps ensure that the program and details specified in this Tree Preservation Plan are properly implemented. The monitoring phase of the plan is fourfold: 1) Maintain the integrity of the Tree Protection Zone, 2) Assist with field changes, 3) Continually evaluate tree health and injuries, and 4) Communicate with the Superintendent and Architect. The inspection schedule should include one pre construction conference with the project supervisor and arborist and a visit early in the construction process. Later site visits can be on requested visit basis. This construction project should pose few problems for the seven trees in question. By installing fencing to keep activities away from the trunk and out from under the dripline most construction problems will be mitigated. The soil is already compacted and the construction activities will not likely exacerbate the condition. After the construction project is complete vertical mulching should be implemented within the CRZ to mitigate the compacted soil plates. Sincerely, Rick Herwehe
