September 28, 2011 <br />to aesthetic and ecological value that the Ash trees provided for Lino Lakes. The <br />City will remove all public Ash trees using City Crews <br />2. Remove /Replace all City Ash trees. This option replaces every Ash tree with a <br />new tree that won't get Emerald Ash borer. This plan is the least costly way to <br />manage the Lino Lakes Ash forest and allow it to regain its former size. The City <br />will utilize City crews to remove and replace all City Ash Trees <br />3. Treat City Ash trees with insecticide. This plan has the lowest annual out of <br />pocket costs, but it has the greatest cost over time. It also produces the largest <br />remaining forest over time. Research demonstrates that insecticides can protect <br />small trees < 12" in diameter until they reach a 15 inch diameter. Effective <br />treatment of larger trees would require either a more frequent application, or a <br />higher dose of inspective. Research as of 3.8.2010 shows one application of <br />insecticide will treat a tree for at least 3 years. The City will utilize City personnel <br />trained and licensed in treatment for EAB, to treat City trees chosen to be <br />treated. <br />4. Combination of the first 3 options. <br />0 <br />Treating at least the middle range of City tree size also gives the City time to spread our loss <br />over a much greater time period, and possibly eliminate our losses for treated trees. Treated <br />trees should be limited to trees in good vigor with good form. Poor formed trees or trees in <br />declining condition should be removed as soon as possible. Natural controls with parasitic and <br />predatory insects, genetic selection and manipulation, all take time. The estimated time to <br />achieve success in one of these areas is 20 years minimum. <br />Administration <br />The City Forester shall coordinate efforts with the Public Works Department, the Minnesota <br />Department of Agriculture and /or the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Anoka <br />County, and St Paul District Energy to seek assistance for the removal, disposal, replacement, <br />and treatment of City Plan Ash trees. Furthermore the City Forester shall enforce the City <br />Shade Tree Disease Control Ordinance and assist and educate the public in private Ash tree <br />disposal. The disease control ordinance shall be an integral part of this plan. <br />City Park and Boulevard Tree Management Recommendations <br />Recommended procedure for City Ash Trees is removal of all poorly- formed and /or defective <br />trees first. Chemically treat all trees in the 6 to 12 inch classification, remove and replace all <br />ash trees < 6 inches and trees > 12 inches. Should future chemical labels allow for higher <br />chemical injection rates, than the City may choose to treat the larger trees. <br />1 <br />
