If roots must be cut use a sharp tool that will make a clean flush cut and not tear the roots.If possible all digging under the tree drip line should be done manually to avoid tearing out of roots. 7) Place a protective bather or temporary fencing around as much of the drip line of the tree trunk as possible while allowing for the proposed work to be done. 8) During summer months(June thru October)deep water the trees once a month to keep them healthy until irrigation can be installed. 9) Construction personnel should be briefed on the importance of the guidelines before construction begins and reminded of it during tailgate meetings and as necessary.A printed copy should be posted where employees can be reminded of it.

Ben Lundgren 610 Gloria Rd.Arcadia,CA 91006 September 17,2017 Javier Cabral/Consulting Arborist Pg.#19 Tree#1 protection Plan (Camphor) a) Structural excavation and over-excavation: The tree will not be impacted by any structural excavations due to the long distance between the trunk and foundations of all structures. b) New walls,walkways or alternatives: There will be no new walls erected in the vicinity of this tree. c) New Landscaping:Tilling and soil preparation within 8 ft.of this tree shall be done manually with care to preserve the roots. Grass shall be placed no closer than 18 inches around the entire circumference of the tree trunk. d) New Sprinklers:No broadcast trenching shall be allowed within 8 ft.of all sides of the tree trunk. Alternatives can sometimes be accomplished by radial trenching,Tunneling under roots,and above ground drip systems. e) Canopy pruning:no canopy pruning will be required to complete this project. f) Root pruning:all roots within 8 ft.from the tree trunk on all sides shall be preserved. g) Maintenance: During the hot summer and fall months the tree shall be watered as needed until the sprinkler system is installed and working. h) Encroachment impacts:This project is expected to have a minimal impact on the short or long term health of this tree and it is expected to survive if the protection recommendations are followed and adhered to. Ben Lundgren 610 Gloria Rd.Arcadia,CA 91006 September 17,2017 Javier Cabral/Consulting Arborist Pg.#20 Tree#2 Protection Plan (Holly Oak) a) Structural excavation and over-excavation: The impact to the Oak roots from the excavations for the living room and suite 1 is expected to be minimal because excavations are very close to the existing home foundations. b) New walls,walkways or alternatives: There will be no new walls erected in the vicinity of this tree. c) New Landscaping:Tilling and soil preparation within 15 ft.of this tree shall be done manually with care to preserve the roots. Grass shall be placed no closer than 18 inches around the entire circumference of the tree trunk. d) New Sprinklers:No broadcast trenching shall be allowed within 15 ft.of all sides of the tree trunk. Alternatives can sometimes be accomplished by radial trenching,Tunneling under roots,and above ground drip systems. e) Canopy pruning:Some moderate raising of the lower canopy may be required for clearance purposes. f) Root pruning:all roots within 15 ft.from the tree trunk on all sides shall be preserved. g) Maintenance: During the hot summer and fall months the tree shall be watered as needed until the sprinkler system is installed and working. h) Encroachment impacts:This project is expected to have a minimal impact on the short or long term health of this tree and it is expected to survive if the protection recommendations are followed and adhered to.

Under permits from the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), certain activities are subject to RWQCB enforcement. To meet the requirements of the Los Angeles County Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit (R4-2012-0175), minimum requirements for sediment control, erosion control and construction activities must be implemented on each project site. Minimum requirements include: • EROSION: Erosion from slopes and channels shall be controlled by implementing an effective combination of BMPs, such as the limiting of grading activities during the wet season; inspecting graded areas during rain events; planting and maintenance of vegetation on slopes; and covering erosion susceptible slopes. • SEDIMENT CONTROL: Eroded sediments from areas disturbed by construction and from stockpiles of soil shall be retained on site to minimize sediment transport from the site to streets, drainage facilities and/or adjacent properties via runoff, vehicle tracking or wind. • CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS CONTROL: Construction related materials, wastes, spills or residues shall be retained on site to minimize transport from the site to streets, drainage facilities or adjoining properties by wind or runoff, Runoff from equipment and vehicle washing shall be contained at construction sites unless treated to remove sediment and pollutants. • NON-STORM WATER RUNOFF: Non-stormwater runoff from equipment and vehicle washing and any other activity shall be contained at the project site. • EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN (ESCP): Required for projects one acre or more. The ESCP must be developed and certified by a Qualified SWPPP Developer(QSD). • HILLSIDE: Construction upon slopes 25% or more requires the implementation of additional BMPs to protect slopes and prevent erosion and sediment runoff. Minimum BMPs include:(1)Soil piles must be covered with tarps or plastic, (2) leaking equipment must be repaired immediately, (3) refueling must be conducted away from catch basins, (4) catch basins must be protected when working nearby, (5) vacuum all concrete saw cutting, (6) never wash concrete waste into the street,(7)keep the site clean, sweep the gutters at the end of each working day and keep a trash receptacle on site. As the engineer of record, I have selected appropriate BMPs to effectively minimize the negative impacts of this project's construction activities on stormwater quality. The project owner and contractor are aware that the selected BMPs shall be installed, monitored, and maintained to ensure their effectiveness. The BMPs not selected for implementation are redundant or deemed not applicable to the proposed construction activi jrt5ivrygl JACK LEE r J GK L• CFF Fy• c4, „Pi c Engineer of Record Name Engineer of Record Signature 2` C 04^t170 m CALLAND ENGINEERING 02-01-2018 NO m Title Date lis * I certify that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system CCga[ qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted.
