<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan <br />City of St. Anthony Village, MN <br />WSB Project No. 022315-000 Page 8 <br />Figure 1:Amount of Ash Trees per Condition Class Vs. Diameter Class <br /> <br />Diameter (DBH) Inches of Ash Trees <br />Within the last year, St. Anthony Village has leveraged grant dollars, and a <br />Forestry-assigned AmeriCorps member to implement tree status updates in the <br />field with a new online mapping system called ArcGIS Online. This will help <br />ensure the data stays updated as crews and contractors remove, prune, inject <br />or plant trees. <br /> <br />6.0 Program Administration and Impact <br />The Public Works Department encompasses five divisions (streets, utilities, parks, <br />fleet maintenance, and engineering) and will take the lead role in implementing the <br />EAB plan and associated program. Staff will work collaboratively to implement public <br />education, outreach, and the best management practices (BMPs) to handle emerald <br />ash borer and ash trees throughout St. Anthony Village. The Public Works <br />Superintendent position will serve as the primary point person for EAB questions, <br />concerns, and plan implementation (along with many other duties). <br />Implementing the EAB management plan will spread out the financial and staffing <br />requirements over a ten-year period but will still require additional City resources. <br />EAB management has financial and other implications that exceed the City’s current <br />Public Works budget allocations. <br />0 <br />2 <br />4 <br />6 <br />8 <br />10 <br />12 <br />4567.59111314.5161819202122232526.52829333642Dead or Dying - Fraxinus <br />Excellent - Fraxinus <br />Fair - Fraxinus <br />Good - Fraxinus <br />Poor - Fraxinus <br />(blank) - Fraxinus
