19. 20. 21. e) Recognized trees of value, suitable for tree spade removal that would otherwise be destroyed, shall be identified with ribbon and offered to the CITY at least five (5) days prior to destruction. f) Tree wood removed during construction, road building and sewer/water installation, shall be buried, burned, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site. Wood waste disposal must take into account tree disease control, especially for oak wilt and Dutch Elm disease. The tree inspector needs to make a site inspection to ascertain tree disease hazard prior to construction in order to minimize impact on trees adjoining the easement, (including root damage and grade changes) and for disease control. An inspection to reduce or abate wood waste disposal must also manage air quality impact and smoke nuisance to adjoining property owners as well as fire safety concerns. g) Whole trees may not be disposed of by burning. Trunks and limbs larger than six (6) inches in diameter must be salvaged for lumber, firewood, chipped, or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site. Application may be made for an open burning permit to dispose of brush less than six (6) inches in diameter and stumps with less than four feet of main trunks attached. The location of the proposed open bum site will. be specified by the City Engineer, Environmental Specialist and Fire Chief. Wood disposal by burning requires whole tree volume reduction, proposed site inspection pr/or to clearing and an open burning permit. Residual ash and unburned stumpage may be buried on the site at the direction of the City Engineer. Chipped material may be applied and utilized on site to mitigate root damage from grade changes of the easement or right-of-way and for erosion control and top soil restoration. VI.
