Sam Oakley 231 Old Bernal Avenue Tree Inventory, Valuation, and Construction Guidelines 9/13/2024 12 PO BOX 2412 PISMO BEACH, CA 93448 (415) 407-6995 SAM@OAKLEYGROUP.ORG WWW.OAKLEYGROUP.ORG Schedule and Coordination Trees should be monitored by the Project Arborist during construction at the following intervals: • Before construction begins, the Project Arborist is to use this preservation plan to implement tree protections with the assigned contractors for all work onsite. • During the Pre-construction meeting. • During the Rough Grading or Trenching, or any activity within any TPZ or CRZ. • For each Monthly Tree Activity Report Inspection or the interval deemed necessary by the local authorities. • Any other time deemed necessary by the Project Arborist. Concluding Remarks This report is a guideline for the proper maintenance of tree during construction activities. The following activities need to occur, as noted above: • Preconstruction: root exploration; root pruning; foliar pruning; mulch; irrigation; fertilization; tree protection measures. • During construction: tree protection measures; mulch; irrigation; fertilization; and pruning as needed. • Post-construction: mulch; irrigation; and yearly maintenance pruning as needed. While trees vary in their tolerance to changed conditions, disruption in any form of the environment to which the trees have grown accustomed, may result in adverse reaction. No assurance can be offered that if all the recommendations and precautionary measures are accepted and followed, the desired results will be achieved. Demolition and construction activity among and near trees is inherently contrary to tree welfare. The objective of these guidelines is to provide information useful in mitigating undesirable consequences resulting from uninformed or careless acts. If strict adherence to all recommendations is performed, we believe the trees will successfully survive construction of the project. Page 346 of 373
