Identified hazardous trees will be measured, photographed, and electronically recorded using tablets or phones provided by Tetra Tech.
• Identification and qualification of potentially hazardous trees will follow standard forestry practice rules.
• You must adhere to permitting and specific environmental guidelines, including considerations for Watercourse and Lake Protection Zones (WLPZ), archaeological significance, and biological concerns.
