Signage shall be installed <br />to instruct workers to stay out of the Root Protection Zone. <br />b. Areas where development must encroach upon the root <br />protection zone must be identified on the tree preservation <br />plan in which case the fencing shall be installed at that edge. <br />c. No actions that may harm the health of the tree, including <br />but not limited to construction, traffic, compaction, storage of <br />equipment or materials including soil, grading, or concrete <br />washout areas may occur in the Root Protection Zone. <br />d. Trees damaged by construction, or with more than thirty <br />percent of the roots disturbed, shall be counted as removed <br />and mitigated at applicable rates. <br />e. Tree protection measures shall remain in place until all <br />grading and construction activity is terminated. <br />4415.
