a) On the Lake and streambed alteration paperwork it shows approx. 119 trees to be removed. Are these going to be marked in field? b) For mitigation at Bouviere Preserve at 4-1 ratio, where in the plans will this be reflected? The planting plan doesn't show the type or size for mitigation planting. |
Per streambed alteration agreement, there are 114 Oak trees at Trinity Rd and 6 Oak trees at Arnold Dr. that needs to be removed in this contract. Caltrans is having a separate cooperative agreement with Sonoma County Resource Conversation District for tree mitigation at Bouverie Preserve which is not part of this contract. All trees that need to removed are marked by gray paint by the Biologist. A biologist will be also at hand at the time of tree removal with the RE. The planting plan included in this contract is only to minimize visual impact due to the removed trees. They are not part of tree mitigation |
