The proposed construction may impact these trees and this report will serve to both notify the City of Arcadia Planning Division of the extent of the potential impacts as well as to inform the builder of the proper protection measures which must be taken in order to preserve the trees. As part of my preparation for this report I made a site visit to the property on May 12, 2015. I met with Mr. Tong at that time to view and discuss the proposed construction plans as they relate to the preservation of the Protected Trees. 1 I Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 PROJECT LOCATION, DESCRIPTION & TREE ORDINANCE 000 W Montec,to Ava Muriteran C.t W Surra Madrr Blvd aSM a m w n i,;enol 5, ' 9 Mat:po£a Ava Esperanza Ave y anf'etd Rd a G endtatr Rd Ramona Ave 5 W Bonds Ave +^v Grcwa Rd Manzanita Ave ' O 3 a m ° eenhill Rd W Orange Grove Ave c r 144,. 3 f] oy (er9 Wood Dr O i H Q 4 a D D A MamptAn Rd dn,-.sv:t Ln ieariWay 0 Marshalls rn - N mar y Cafe Jaothill Fwy W W Colorado Blvd Co�vL stent~Rd 1001 Singing Wood Dr. is located at the northwest corner of the intersection that Dexter Ave. ends at Singing Wood Dr. Above map courtesy of Apple Maps.

The landscape is maintained and is in good condition. Most of the trees on the property, including the Protected Oak Trees appear to be in good health and structural conditions. The landscape will be renovated and the Protected Trees will be incorporated into the new design. 2 Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 �� . t. 4.i ma y .v 4 i i „ P p 4 40 le II \- 1 o- '3 . , IL. • F ,mow.I. 6 ,t R , ._ e .. , ,,„,„ , ........ , , , _ A ,, _ ,,. t + - is 1 . n9 .xhj Y`.. - it `y� t .. : .Singing Wood Dr ____ ' 1111111111- lea This aerial view (courtesy of Apple Maps) has been illustrated to show the approximate boundary lines. 3 D Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 City of Arcadia Tree Ordinance On January 21, 1992 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1962 recognizing oak trees as significant aesthetic and ecological resources and establishing criteria for the preservation of oak trees. The regulations(Chapter 7 of the Arcadia Municipal Code)provide that the following oak trees shall not be removed,relocated, damaged, or have their protected zones encroached upon unless an Oak Tree Permit is granted: • Engelmann Oaks(Quercus engelmannii) or Coast Live Oak, California Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia)which have a trunk diameter larger than four(4) inches measured at a point four and one half(4 %2)feet above the crown root,or,two (2)or more trunks measuring three(3)inches each or greater in diameter,measured at a point four and one I half(4 %2) feet above the crown root. • Any other living oak tree with a trunk diameter larger than twelve (12)inches measured at a point four and one half(4 %2)feet above the crown root, or,two(2)or more trunks measuring ten(10)inches each or greater in diameter measured at a point four and one half(4 1/2) feet above the crown root. • Any Western Sycamore(Platanus racemosa). FIELD OBSERVATIONS & DESIGN ANALYSIS Refer to Site Plan located in pocket at back of this report,Tree Characteristics and Health Matrix on page 6,Construction Impacts Matrix on page 7 and Photos in Appendix A,page 9. Analysis regarding rootzone impacts are based on the type of impact,e.g, soil compaction, grading, and excavation; as well as the distance from the trunk that the impacts will occur. It is commonly accepted among professional arborists that a distance equal to three times a trunks diameter contains the structural roots responsible for keeping the tree upright. This critical rootzone area is defined as the root plate. Beyond the root plate the roots typically taper off into smaller, less significant sizes. These smaller roots are usually two inches in diameter or smaller and make up the rootmass responsible for water and nutrient uptake. Although roots of these sizes can be cut without significantly impacting health and stability it is advised that no more than 30 percent of the rootmass within the(hipline is severed. The bulk of the rootmass is located within the top three feet of soil and root growth slows or halts when soil bulk density exceeds 1.60 g/cm3 for most soils. More information regarding rootzone impacts is provided in the Excavation and Root Pruning section of the Construction Impact Guidelines,Appendix B. Trees#1 and#2—30" and 36"coast live oaks: These trees are located in the far back northeast corner of the back yard and are surrounded by a dense stand of other non-protected trees and shrubs. A garden wall will be built around the southwest quadrant of the driplines in order to isolate them in their own planter. The wall will remain 18-20 feet from the trunks. The existing 4 Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 property line fence that runs under the driplines will remain. No pruning of the live crowns will be required to complete the project. Trees#3 and#4- 18" and 32" coast live oaks: These two trees are located along the west property line,between the property line fence and the existing tennis court. Both the property line fence and the tennis court will remain. Typical landscape renovations will encroach. No pruning of the live crowns will be required to complete the project. Tree#5—30" coast live oak: This tree is located near the east property line adjacent to the existing driveway and behind a retaining wall. The retaining wall buffers the rootzone from the overexcavation for the new home that will occur ten feet, downhill from the trunk on its west side. The existing property line fence that runs under the dripline will remain. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Tree#6—36"Engelmann oak: This tree is located within a relatively small brick tree well type planter in a large patio area that is paved in stone. The new home has been designed to contour the tree on three sides. Overexcavation on two of the sides(south and west)will encroach no closer than 27 feet from the trunk, and will encroach within 12 feet on the east side. New hardscape will encroach on the north 25 feet away. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Tree#7—38" Engelmann oak: This tree is located off-site on the property to the west. The crown overhangs the roofline of the existing home and the roofline of the new home will not be any higher in this area. The existing west property line fence will remain. A concrete block wall will be built ten feet from the trunk on its east side. The wall will function to enclose the back yard area. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Tree#8—36" coast live oak: This tree is centrally located in the front yard area. A section of the new driveway will encroach no closer than 15 feet from the trunk on the north side. The driveway will be constructed with interlocking pavers. Typical landscape renovations will also encroach. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Tree#9—36" coast live oak: This tree is nearly dead. It is located in the southwest corner of the front yard among a cluster of other oaks. A new driveway will encroach within 12 feet of the trunk on its west side. The existing property line fence that encroaches the dripline on the west will remain. Tree#10—14"Engelmann oak: This tree is located in a lawn area in the southwest quadrant of the front yard. A new driveway will be built seven feet from the trunk on the west side of the trunk. The driveway will be constructed with interlocking pavers. Other landscape renovation 5 I Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 type encroachments will occur. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Tree#11 —14" holly oak: This tree is located in a lawn area in the southwest quadrant of the front yard. The new driveway will not encroach,but encroachments will occur from typical landscape renovations. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Tree#12—36" coast live oak: This tree is centrally located in the front yard. Landscape renovation type encroachments will occur. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Trees#13 and#14—10" and 14"Engelmann oaks: These two trees are located within a few feet of each other in the southeast quadrant of the front yard. The trees lean towards and over the existing driveway,which will be replaced further away from the trunks. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Tree#15—40" holly oak: This tree is located in the southwest quadrant of the front yard within the cluster of several other oaks. The new driveway will encroach as close as ten feet from the trunk on its east side. The existing fence on the west property line that encroaches the dripline will remain. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Trees#16 and#17— 10" and 12"Engelmann oaks: These trees are located in the southwest quadrant of the front yard within the cluster of several other oaks. The new driveway will encroach as close as 15 feet from either trunk on its east side. The existing fence on the west property line that encroaches the driplines will remain. No pruning of the live crowns will be required to complete the project. Tree#18—16" coast live oak: This tree is located off-site on the property to the west,but is among the cluster of trees located in the southwest corner of the front yard. The existing property line fence will remain and the new driveway will come within 20 feet of the trunk. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. Tree#19—14" mimosa: This non-native tree is located in the public right-of-way setback area of the front yard, so it is Protected. It is located where the new driveway entry is planned, so the tree is proposed for removal. Tree#20—16" carrotwood: This non-native tree is located in the public right-of-way setback area of the front yard, so it is Protected. The grade cut for the new driveway entry will come within 12 feet of the trunk on its west side. No pruning of the live crown will be required to complete the project. 6 I III o 00 0 0, cn 4, w tJ TREE NUMBER a a a a a a a a a a r c, v) 5' i Z. as ora (IQ ora ora (IQ w tri F) P g m . �. ora fig . -. --s. . -. - - T 2_,, T D 0 0 0 0 o m ° �. . . ... ... to z ¢' 1... ;JI 5 'p-Ti 'cs2 ° cu c, cv �. w w w w (.,) t,., �. t,., t,, TRUNK DIAMETER .t, o, rnoornorv000To (INCHES) ^^ C a 11 n y L,, .p -P W .p, cal (A APPROXIMATE HEIGHT `" v,' a co 0000c., v, 0000 (FEET) m oaa a Cl) r,, � e:) („ � 0.\ N41, 41, 41, AVERAGE SPREAD ' 0000000000 (FEET) - o� 8 >C >C >C �C �C >C SYMMETRIC .n w _ r?. a X X X X ASYMMETRIC ril a o '� �C X DOMINANT n n o C a XX X XXXkX CO-DOMINANT > 0 y oo CD SUPPRESED z 0-1 Cvt 0°, CA o o P YOUNG n ip a a• xxXxxxxxxx MATURE m r+ 0 CS OVERMATURE C c.,0 Fir ri 0• X XXXXXXXX NORMAL > 8.. :la �° - g >C SPARSE H ( ' ' a II X DISEASE/INSECT coco R Q- 0 0 XC >C >C >C X >C >C >C >C AVERAGE n ¢ n F.

Excavation that is buffered by existing infrastructure will encroach no closer than a distance equal to three times a trunk's diameter. Existing vegetation will be removed from within 15 feet of each Protected Tree. These areas should be left non-irrigated. None of the trees in the public right-of-way area of the front yard appear to be planted by the city as street trees, but as part of a landscape planting. Tree#19 is planned to be removed. Tree#9, a Protected Oak, is nearly dead and should be removed through a diseased or hazardous tree removal permit. RECOMMENDATIONS As with many construction projects, soil compaction is the most preventable impact that will need to be monitored in order to provide reliable protection and long-term preservation of the trees. To prevent unnecessary soil compaction a protective fence must be installed around the Protected Trees before any demolition occurs. The goal is to enclose the largest possible amount of space underneath the tree so that the heavy equipment required for demolition and construction can be routed away from root zones. The recommended fence placements are drawn in dashed lines on the Site Plan of this report. The main haul route for the demolition phase and into most of the construction phase shall be the existing driveway. • Prior to demolition the contractor and consulting arborist shall meet on site to make sure fences are properly placed and installed and to review the goals for the tree protection plan. The location of the protective fences are drawn with a dashed line on the Site Plan included in this report. • Tree Protection Zone fences shall be at least four feet tall and constructed of chain link fencing secured on metal posts. • The fenced protection zones may be altered during construction;however,any alterations of the fenced protection zones must be approved by the arborist of record. • Maintain the fences throughout the completion of the project. No staging of materials or equipment or washing-out is to occur within the fenced protected zones. • The removal of existing turfgrass and other vegetation near the Protected Trees shall be done by hand. No rototilling or other deep cultivation or grading shall occur within the driplines. • Refer to the Construction Impact Guidelines in Appendix B for important general preservation measures concerning the different elements of this project. 12 Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 APPENDIX A — Photos zA c ,- •a4" ` tik 47y` ' f 4110V 1 A t liP N. ,..._ _ ..41,-.7 II r:1.4t4ii : r .. #47k, 12- 144.. t, • _, _-_ • ,,,,,,L,„ „...,.... --......,,„... __.,..._ _ .

Integrated Management of Landscape Trees Shrubs and Vines. Harris,R.W., Clark,J.W., Matheny N.P. Prentice Hall 2004. Roots of most plants, including large trees, grow primarily in the top meter(3 ft)of soil (see figure below). Most plants concentrate the majority of their small absorbing roots in the upper 150 mm(6 in.)of soil if the surface is protected by a mulch or forest litter. In the absence of a protective mulch,exposed bare soil can become so hot near the surface that roots do not grow in the upper 200 to 250 mm(8 to 10 in.). Under forest and many landscape situations,however, soil near the surface is most favorable for root growth. In 0 addition,roots tend to grow at about the same soil depth regardless of the slope of the soil surface. Although root growth is greatly influenced by soil conditions, individual roots seem to have an inherent guidance mechanism. Large roots with vigorous tips usually grow horizontally. Similar roots lateral to the large roots grow at many angles to the vertical, and some grow up into the surface soil. However, few roots in a root system actually grow down. jay I v.. . . 1St s 'i�� 'w' ; t , II Depth In ft. - I Depth In meters 7 14"tur" --- 'ilTZVQ:rn;Z*',J. - ...-ft.,-- -P....0„--,- 1 :::•,. ..-„...40 cmo: 0 4 1.0 5 1.5 FIGURE In mature trees, the taproot is either lost or reduced in size The vast majority of the root system is composed of horizontally oriented lateral roots. 22 Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 The importance of soil Soil supports and anchors tree roots and provides water,minerals and oxygen. Furthermore, soil is a habitat for soil microorganisms that enhance root function. A soil's ability to sustain tree growth is largely determined by its texture, structure(bulk density), organic matter, water and mineral content, salinity, aeration,and soil-microbe abundance and diversity. Soil physical properties Soil texture—the relative proportion of sand, silt and clay, is important because it affects water—and nutrient-holding capacity, drainage and aeration(gaseous diffusion). Soil structure is the arrangement of individual soil particles into clumps(aggregates). The net result is the formulation of larger voids between the aggregates which serve as channels for gaseous diffusion,movement of water and root penetration. Unfortunately, soil aggregates are readily destroyed by activities that compact the soil(increase bulk density). When this occurs,gaseous exchange,permeability,drainage and root growth are restricted. The influence of the organic matter content of soil properties is quiet significant. Its decomposition by soil organisms releases substances that bind soil particles into larger granules, which improves both soil aeration, and drainage. In essence,the breakdown of organic matter improves water—and nutrient-holding capacity and reduces bulk density. Furthermore, it is the primary source of nitrogen and a major source of nitrogen and a major source of phosphorus and sulfur. Without organic matter soil organisms could not survive and most biochemical processes in the soil would cease. Soil aeration,the movement and the availability of oxygen, is determined by both soil texture and structure. In general, compacted and fmer soils,due to a higher proportion of small pore spaces(micropores),tend to drain slowly and hold less air than coarser, sandy, or well-structured find soils. Water retained in the small pores displaces oxygen and inhibits gaseous diffusion. The availability of soil water is largely determined by the size of the pore spaces between the soil particles and the larger aggregates in which water is held. Most of the water in the larger pore spaces drains readily due to gravitational forces. A relatively thin film of water,which is readily available to plant roots,remains following drainage. Much of water held within the smaller pore spaces resists uptake by plant roots because it is held tightly on the soil surfaces. Plant roots require an adequate supply of oxygen for development. Injury or dysfunction results when oxygen availability drops below a critical level. Root respiration is the first process to be restricted,followed by disruptions in growth,metabolism,nutrient and water uptake,and photosynthesis. Furthermore,the accumulation of high levels of carbon dioxide,produced by the roots during respiration can also impair root function. Reduced soil aeration resulting from soil compaction, flooding, excess irrigation, or 23 I Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 impervious pavement favors the development of crown rot(Phytophthora root disease). It also inhibits mycorrhizal fungi that enhance water and nutrient uptake and resist root pathogens. The forest floor under a canopy in most undeveloped forests and woodland settings is typically covered by a layer of fallen leaves and other woody debris. It is usually cool, shady, well-aerated, and relatively moist—conditions that favor normal root growth. When the natural leaf litter is removed and when a tree's lower canopy is pruned up to provide clearance,the absorbing roots in the upper few inches of the soil experience higher soil temperatures and increased desiccation due to direct exposure to sunlight. Minimizing the Effects of Construction and Development on Tree Root Systems Activities that injure roots or adversely affect the root zone should be avoided or kept as far from the trunk as possible. Design changes or alternative building practices that avoid or minimize construction-related impacts should be considered and proposed when applicable. Soil Compaction Soils are intentionally compacted under structures, sidewalks, reads,parking areas, and load-bearing fill to prevent subsidence, and to prevent soil movement on slopes. Although unintentional, soil within the root zone of trees is often compacted by unrestricted foot traffic,parking of vehicles,operation of heavy equipment, and during installation of fill. Compaction destroys the soil's natural porosity by eliminating much of the air space contained within it. It leaves the soil hardm impenetrable and largely unfavorable for root growth. The soil's natural porosity,which allows for water movement and storage, gaseous exchange, and root penetration, is greatly reduced. Consequently,root growth and tree health suffer. Soil compaction is best managed by preventing it. Bulk density is used to describe a soil's porosity, or the amount of space between soil particles and aggregates. High bulk densities indicate a low percentage of total pore space. Pavement Paving over the root systems of trees is another serious problem because it reduces the gaseous diffusion and soil moisture. Most paving materials are relatively impervious to water penetration and typically divert water away from a tree's root zone. Cracks and expansion joints do,though, allow for some water infiltration into the soil below. Of greater concern, is the loss of roots from excavation to achieve the required grade, and the necessary compaction to prevent subsidence. Once the soil surface is compacted,a base material is then added and compacted as well. With that done,the surface can then be paved. Thus,pavement within the root zones of trees can damage roots and create 24 p • Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 unfavorable soil conditions. One alternative to minimize pavement impacts is to consider placing the pavement on the natural grade over a layer of minimally compacted base material. To reduce sub-grade compaction, consider using reinforced concrete or asphalt over a goetextile blanket to help stabilize the soil. On-grade patios or paving that covers more than one-third of the tree protection zone(TPZ)should be constructed using permeable materials that allow aeration and water penetration. Soil under permeable surfaces should not be compacted to more than 80 percent. Excavation and root pruning Excavation within the root zones of trees should be avoided as much as possible. The extent of root pruning(selective)or cutting(non-selective) should be based on the species growth characteristics and adaptive traits, environmental conditions, age,health, crown size, density, live crown ration and structural condition of the tree. The timing of the root pruning or cutting is another important consideration. Moderate to severe root loss during droughts or particularly hot periods can cause serious water-deficit injury or death. When root pruning/cutting is unavoidable, roots should be pruned or cut as far from the trunk as possible. Cutting roots on more than one side of a tree should also be avoided. Root cutting extending more than half-way around a tree should generally be no closer than about 10 times the trunk diameter. Recommended distances range from as little as 6 times trunk diameter(DBH) for young trees to 12 times trunk diameter for mature trees. The size of the TPZ should,however,be increased for over mature and declining trees and species that are sensitive to root loss. The minimum distance from the trunk that roots can be cut on one side of the tree without destabilizing it, is a distance equal to about three times the diameter(DBH)of the trunk. Roots severed within that distance provide little or no structural support. Root pruning or cutting distances from the trunk should be greater for trees that lean and/or those growing on shallow or wet soil. In cases where the proposed grading will adversely affect trees designated for retention, special attention should be given to proper root pruning and post-construction care for injured trees. Where structural footings are required for foundations,retaining walls, etc., and roots larger than 2 inches in diameter will be impacted, consider design changes or alternative building methods. When excavation within 5 times trunk diameter is unavoidable,roots greater than 1 '/2 inches in diameter should be located prior to excavation and then pruned to avoid unnecessary damage. Hand-digging or use of a hydraulic or pneumatic soil excavation tool is the least disruptive way to locate roots for pruning. Although mechanical root pruners make clean cuts,they are non-selective. A backhoe bucket,dozer blade or trencher will typically pull,rip or shatter the larger root, causing additional damage toward the tree. Once the roots that interfere with the structure being built, e.g., 25 r Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 foundations, footings,retaining wall, curbs,etc., are exposed,they should then be cut perpendicular to their long axis using a hand-saw, `carbide-tipped chainsaw' or sharp ax, depending on size. Roots that are pruned in this manner typically regenerate new roots from near the cut. Roots exposed by excavation should be protected from exposure to sun and desiccation. Exposed roots that can not be covered with soil by the end of the day should be covered with moistened burlap or similar material. Roots can generally be cut in a non-selective manner when excavating near of beyond the dripline. Ripped, splintered or fractured portions of roots however, should be re-cut. The damaged portion should be removed using sharp tools. The cut should be flat across the root with the adjacent bark intact. Wound dressings should not be applied to pruned or damaged roots except when recommended for disease, insect or sprout control. The best approach to avoid water-deficit injury following root loss during the growing season is to provide ample irrigation. Irrigation should be considered prior to, during, and after root pruning. Watering schedules should also consider local soil conditions, climate,topography,time of year, species adaptability, extent of root pruning and tree health. If possible, irrigate the tree 7 to 10 days prior to excavation so that there is an adequate reservoir of soil water. Water can be delivered to large construction sites via water-tank trucks and applied directly to affected trees or stored nearby in plastic tanks. On relatively flat terrain, a 6 to 8 inch soil berm at the tree's dripline should be constructed to act as a watering basin. On steep terrain, soaker hoses should be used. They can be placed across the slope or spirally around the trunk,from about six feet away to the dripline. In addition,a two to four inch layer of wood chip mulch should be applied to as much of the root zone as possible to retard soil water loss. Pruning foliage to compensate for root loss is not supported by scientific research and likely to result in slower recovery. Fertilization to stimulate root growth is generally unwarranted and may be counterproductive. Trenching within the Tree Protection Zone Trenching for underground utilities should be routed around the TPZ. When this is unavoidable,trenching within the TPZ should be done by `hand' or using a pneumatic or hydraulic soil excavation tool,carefully working around larger roots. Roots larger than 1 %2 inches in diameter should not be cut. Dig below these roots to route utilities or install drains. A combination of tools can also produce satisfactory results, for example, a skillful backhoe operator under the arborist's supervision can dig down several inches at a time and detect larger roots by `feel' (resistance). At that point, as assistant can expose the root and dig around it. In this manner, the backhoe can then continue extending the trench though the TPZ. Tunneling(boring)through the TPZ is the preferable alternative. For most large trees,tunneling depth should be at least 36 inches. Tunneling should begin at the edge of the TPZ,but no closer than a distance equal to one foot of clearance for each inch of tree DBH. Tunnels should also be offset to either side of the trunk. For trenching that extends only part way into TPZ, consider trenching radially to the tree trunk, as this is less harmful than tangential trenching. All trenches 26 11/ Protected Tree Report: Survey,Encroachment and Protection Plan 1001 Singing Wood Dr.,Arcadia,91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.May 2015 made within the TPZ should be backfilled as quickly as possible to prevent root and soil desiccation. Managing Root Injured Trees Root-pruned trees should be monitored for symptoms of water-deficit injury for a specified period following root pruning. Irrigation should be considered prior to, during, and after root pruning. Irrigation schedules should consider local soil conditions,climate, topography,time of year, species tolerance, extent of root pruning and tree health. Grade Change: FM Soil Fill soil placed within the root zones of trees can have an adverse effect,particularly if the soil is compacted to support a structure or pavement. Soil compaction reduces aeration and water infiltration. Fill soil, die to textural changes, can also prevent water from penetrating the original soil layer below where the roots are. Furthermore, soil placed against the root crown and lower trunk can lead to root disease problems, especially if the soil near the trunk remains moist during the summer from irrigation. Alternatives to placing fills over roots zones shall be considered and proposed as appropriate. 27 or • ier • IA The American SocietyofConsultingArborists International 6ocietp of Arboriculture" > Tree 1tigb Aggeggment (Qualification In ret ognirkm offdJillmenr of rhe requirements for Registered Consulting Arhorisr.smeas 0 Michael J Crane confers upon C4 Raving successfully completed Ste requirements established by the Cerbhcation Board of the Inlsmslbnal Michael Crane, RCA #440 n Soc.,of Arboriculture'he abuse named s hereby recognized as holding the ISA Bee AO Assessmerd Quaihcahor Registered Membership ;, // �/�� JanuaryIA,2006 /I Z cnw. s..a Fetes sen. 7Y C1�/ -4/ l ..e.b.r rro...r... r..wr t..grwe...r...
