Attachment N-4 <br />6. Conifers (cedars and pines) on Highway right of way east of ETP project: <br />This is a north to south line of trees. <br />A. Three Incense cedars, most northerly in the line, closest to McGrath's cyclone fence. <br />All have dense canopies and the one most north and the one to the south, each have <br />two co-dominate leaders low on the trunk(s). This of course results in some risk of <br />failure (splitting apart) for these two trees. The middle tree in this group shows no risk <br />factors. <br />B. Five lodgepole pine, some dead limbs within the canopies, within reason for the species. <br />The two larger trees, have rather sparse canopies considering their total exposure on <br />the south (sim) side. OnP of the trees has considerable mechanical damage at 36". <br />C. Three incense cedars, the middle having co-dominate leaders. All three having dense <br />canopies and showing no other risk factors. However, there are a lot of nails and <br />screws driven into these trees in the bottom eight feet of the trunks, these should be <br />removed. Also, improper pruning has resulted in many stubs a foot or longer. These <br />should also be properly be removed at the trunk. <br />D. Two 8" pines. Dense canopies, no risk factors noted. <br />As explained by : Eric Berg-Johanson, Planner, city of Eugene, 541-682,5437 <br />Other references: <br />Tres and Development: Matheny and Clark, International Society of Aboriculture- 1998 <br />Tree Risk Manual; Dunster, International Society of Arboriculture- 2013 <br />Report submitted by: Ken Ball, Certified Arborist PN-5803-A <br />82797 S.
