Tree Preservation Measures
Evaluation of Tree Preservation Measures Technical Memo – Resident Input
As part of the CMS in the historic air deposition and Culvert 105 study areas, an evaluation of tree preservation measures was conducted. FMC prepared a document evaluating the prospects of saving trees when remediation is performed, and several alternative measures that might be employed.
Information about the trees on residential properties in the CMS study area and input on the measures evaluated relating to the potential preservation of trees was needed. Middleport residents were invited to attend any of these workshops to learn about the study, and how they could participate by providing survey information.
