We will use fencing, signage, and Best Management Practices to protect these trees. Planning and implementing tree preservation plans before, during and after construction will reduce replacement costs and tree health maintenance. Following this tree preservation plan will assure maximum returns from the trees that remain. Assiignment Our assignment is to prepare a plan to preserve the trees before, during and after the development of the Lett ground. Specific concerns include: 1. Respecting boundaries and screens. 2. getting tree protection measures installed before construction and clearing begins. We are to advise the client, architect, landscape architect, builder and contractors on processes that may impact the trees within the construction zone or nearby. Our goal is to prevent or lessen the impact of the construction to help preserve the trees. Tree Biology and Construction Im acts Construction often has a negative impact on trees. When changes are planned, we must plan tree preservation procedures to be performed before, during, and after construction to give the trees a better chance at survival. In wooded areas, trees live in harmony, protecting and supporting each other. There tends to be less disturbance from environmental factors like wind, ice, and snow. The root systems of mature trees are shaded and protected. In mature landscapes, existing trees have been relatively undisturbed for many years providing them with a "wooded area" environment. Therefore, any construction procedures that come near the root system of any existing tree will cause stress. one common problem during construction is mechanical damage (physical injuries/wounds to the tree) to the trunks and limbs. When wounded, trees are structurally unable to heal as humans and animals do. As trees can not replace damaged tissue, they must wail off the area using a process called Compartmentalization of Decay in Trees (CODM. Using this process, the damaged cells of trees put up chemical and physical barriers in all directions to block the spread of disease and decay after being wounded. Trees are capable of compartmentalizing small wounds quickly. Large wounds, however, are much more difficult and take a lot longer. In fact, a trunk wound removing as little as 30% of the bark may be fatal. The CODIT process also uses great amounts of energy. Trees are weakened due to the amount of energy required 4721 E. 146th St., Carmel, Indiana, 46033 Phone: 317-846-1424 N Fax: 317-818-9865 Figure 1 to try to compartmentalize the wound. Wounds are also an entrance for decay and disease to enter the tree. Decay structurally weakens trees, which may eventually be unable to support their own weight, putting people and property at risk. Protecting the trunk and limbs from damage is crucial. Another significant problem caused by construction is damage to the root systems of the trees. There is a classic misconception that roots are "as deep as the tree is tall". They are not! The root systems of most trees are very shallow. Roots generally grow within the first 12-18 inches of the original grade; with a large majority of the fibrous roots within the first 6-8 inches of the soil (see Figure 11). There are two major types of roots. The large woody roots most of us are familiar with that provide anchorage, storage, and conduction. Trees also have small, non -woody roots called feeder roots. These roots provide absorption, pulling water and nutrients from the soil, both of which are necessary for photosynthesis and respiration. In order for roots to grow, they need both moisture and oxygen. Roots can extend long distances from the trunk, often two to three times the radius of the dripline, depending on the environment and where oxygen and water are available. Changes in the root system of a tree can cause serious, long-term problems, including trunk decay, decline, and death. Besides mechanical and root damage, trees will also be exposed to environmental factors such as changes in water sources and exposure to sunlight. Stress is created when trees need to acclimate to a new environment created by a change in any one of these factors. During construction, many factors become a concern at the same time, making preservation planning very necessary. It is our goal to help the trees whenever possible. The procedures we will recommend are to limit stress to the trees to be preserved. In protecting the trees from construction, our main focus will be shielding the critical zone of the root system from damage. There are various means of protecting the trees and their roots during the construction process, including: Installation of fencing to protect the root zone. Installation of signage for preservation zones. Pre -construction fertilization of key trees. Root pruning during construction after roots are damaged. Implementation of a watering program. Site visits during the construction process. Post -construction vertical mulching in areas of high soil compaction. p A post -construction planning for continued preservation efforts. Although there is no way to guarantee the trees will not die during or after the process, we should do our best to protect the trees and give them a fighting chance.

Scott, RCA #392 June 23, 2004 317.846.1424 Page 2 The Lett ground is a gently rolling site bisected by 3 small intermittent waterways. Most of the site is covered in scattered trees. There is a lake and open ground on the west side. Mr. Lett has been actively clearing the underbrush, trimming trees, and managing the tree species composition for the last 12 years. He states "the whole area was choked with brush when we started clearing 12 years ago. He now mows the entire grounds. The result is a park -like setting of trees with grass underneath and no branches on the ground (see photos, Appendix B of the Woodland Analysis.). The trees are well spaced. The tree species composition is overwhelmingly dominated by white ash. White ash comprises more than 80% of all trees on the property. Yellow poplar and black cherry comprise another 15%. The remaining 5% is comprised of widely scattered elms, maples, pin oaks, boxelders, hawthorns and fruit trees. Some of these may only be represented by 1-5 specimens. There are evergreens scattered around the property as well. The most significant of which are the line of reel cedars extending northeast from the lake, and the few scotch pines in the south side. There are also a few ornamental trees and shrubs widely scattered around the lake. The size class structure of the woodland is dominated by trees in the 6-14" dbh range. The southern half of the property is dominated by the 4-8" dbh size classes. The tree stand boundaries are marked on the aerial photo, Appendix A. There are very few trees larger than 16" dbh or smaller than 4" dbh. There are no saplings except in the fence lines bordering the property. There are small pockets of open space scattered throughout, where there are just not enough trees to close the canopy, or the trees are small (see photos in the Woodland Analysis). These areas tend to be very small less than 100' by 100'. There is a very depauperate plant community due to the mowing. There are grasses and sedges and a very few grape ferns, spring beauties, sorrels, and buttercups persisting in the "lawn". Discussion As mentioned, the greatest damage during construction often comes from injury to the root systems. Many construction processes require extensive amounts of excavation and soil compaction. Excavation within root zones removes both support roots and absorbing roots. This can cause decreased stability and water stress, among other problems. Besides soil removal, soil compaction is common. For structural stability, compaction is required for buildings, roads, footings, sidewalks, etc. Compaction is also caused by equipment moving over the area and material storage. Soil compaction decreases the amount of air and water available to the roots, limits root growth, and can lead to decay, decline, and death. It is important to take into consideration each species when preparing a tree preservation plan. Some species are generally considered to have moderate to good tolerance of construction, and some simply can't tolerate the stress of construction. Their response depends mostly on how much soil compaction, root disturbance, and water stress they receive. Our Tree Preservation Plans and Specifications have taken these factors into account. Copyright © 2004 Vine & Branch, Inc. Langston/Lett - Tree Preservation Judson R. Scott, RCA #392 June 23, 2004 317.846.1424 Page 3 White ash is rated as having a moderate to good tolerance of construction. Ash is tolerant of root loss but intolerant of injury due to poor compartmentalization. Trees within the preservation zone shall be protected during construction and maintained after construction is finished. All trees should be properly fenced and everything kept out of the root zones to limit damage to the trunks and canopies. Specific recommendations include: Before Construction*. ® All trees designated for preservation shall be fertilized before construction begins to increase their vigor. This will increase their ability to handle stress from construction. C. All site contractors shall meet with the Consulting Arborist at the site prior to beginning work to review all work procedures, access and haul routes, and tree protection measures. ® Tree protection fencing shall be installed at the dripline of the trees to be protected and proper "Tree Preservation Zone" signs affixed. During Construction, There should be no grade changes within 5 feet of the dripline of any tree — no filling or excavation. Any damage to trees shall be reported to the Consulting Arborist within 5 hours so that remedial action can be taken. Timeliness is critical to tree health. Q No materials, spoil, washout water, waste or equipment, (especially concrete equipment and tools) shall be deposited, stored, or parked within the tree protection zone (fenced area). The Consulting Arborist should monitor any grading, construction, demolition, or other work that is expected to encounter tree roots. • Spoil from the building foundation shall not be placed within the tree protection zone, either temporarily or permanently. It is suggested that the spoil be placed in a space away from the trees. • The preserved trees shall be irrigated so that they will receive 1-1.5 inches of water per week during dry periods. m All underground utilities, downspouts or irrigation lines and landscape lighting shall be routed outside the tree protection zone. if utility lines must cross through the protection area, they shall be tunneled or bored under the tree. ® There is to be no parking or equipment storage of any kind within the tree protective zone. Post Construction recommendations: All trees should have a post -construction evaluation performed by a qualified arborist to determine any remedial actions necessary to maintain tree health. Vertical mulching for any trees within 20 feet of construction activities. Especially those with any compacted soils or altered drainages. • Regular mulching for any trees outside of the compacted areas that do not have regular leaf litter anymore. The mulch will give the trees optimal conditions for their roots to recover from the stress of construction. Copyright © 2004 Vine & Branch, Inc. Langston/Lett - Tree Preservation Judson R. Scott, RCA #392 June 23, 2004 317.846.1424 Page 4 The Tree Preservation Specifications section has more explanation on each of the above concerns. Vine & Branch Fact Sheets on each subject are also available. Site visits by the Consulting Arborist are helpful in monitoring the above concerns. He can then advise as to any further procedures necessary to protect the tree. The site visits should be regular to increase the protection provided to the tree. Finally, the end of construction does not mean the end of tree preservation. The first five years following construction are critical in the health of the tree and present a window in which further care is to be undertaken. Tree preservation is an ongoing effort. Watering, fertilization and necessary pruning should be undertaken. Cond ss on The Lett Project has many trees that can be saved with proper planning. We will use fencing, signage, and Best Management Practices to protect these trees. Planning and implementing tree preservation plans before, during and after construction will reduce replacement costs and tree health maintenance. Following this tree preservation plan will assure maximum returns from the trees that remain. Vine & Branch appreciates this opportunity and looks forward to working with you in the future.
