SITE PREPARATION:
ALL EXISTING TREES SHALL BE FENCED WITHIN OR AT THE DRIP LINE (FOLIAR SPREAD) OF THE
TREE. DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE TREE THE FENCING MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE AT THE
DRIPLINE. EXAMPLES OF THIS WOULD BE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, NEAR PROPERTY LINES OR
AROUND EXISTING STRUCTURES TO REMAIN. WHERE COMPLETE DRIP LINE FENCING IS NOT
POSSIBLE, THE ADDITION OF STRAW WADDLES AND ORANGE SNOW FENCING WRAPPING THE
TRUNK SHALL BE INSTALLED PER THE TREE PROTECTION DETAIL. THE FENCE SHOULD BE A
MINIMUM OF SIX FEET HIGH, MADE OF GALVANIZED 11-GAUGE WIRE MESH WITH GALVANIZED POSTS
OR ANY MATERIAL SUPERIOR IN QUALITY. A TREE PROTECTION ZONE (TPZ) SIGN SHALL BE
AFFIXED TO FENCING AT APPROPRIATE INTERVALS AS DETERMINED BY THE ARBORIST ON SITE.
SEE TREE PROTECTION DETAIL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING TREE PROTECTION
ZONE SIGN. IF THE FENCE IS WITHIN THE DRIP LINE OF THE TREES, THE FOLIAR FRINGE SHALL BE
RAISED TO OFFSET THE CHANCE OF LIMB DAMAGE FROM ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION.
ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION:
ALL CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS AND OTHER PERSONNEL SHALL BE WARNED THAT
ENCROACHMENT WITHIN THE FENCED AREA AND DRIPLINE IS PROHIBITED WITHOUT THE CONSENT
OF THE CERTIFIED ARBORIST ON THE JOB. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, STORAGE OF
LUMBER AND OTHER MATERIALS, DISPOSAL OF PAINTS, SOLVENTS OR OTHER NOXIOUS MATERIALS,
PARKED CARS, GRADING EQUIPMENT OR OTHER HEAVY EQUIPMENT. IF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN THE TPZ THE FENCE CAN BE MOVED TEMPORARILY FOR DELIVERY OF
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS TO OFF LOAD
ITEMS SUCH AS TRUSSES, TIMBER, PLASTERBOARD, WALLBOARD, CONCRETE, GYPSUM BOARD,
FLOORING, ROOFING OR ANY OTHER HEAVY CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL OUTSIDE THE FOLIAR
SPREAD OF THE TREE SO THERE IS NO HEAVY EQUIPMENT NEEDED THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE CANOPY OF THE TREE OR COMPACT THE ROOT ZONE. THE TREE PROTECTION FENCING
SHOULD BE REESTABLISHED PER THE PLANS AND DETAILS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANY ACTIVITY
THROUGH THE TPZ. PENALTIES, BASED ON THE COST OF REMEDIAL REPAIRS AND THE EVALUATION
GUIDE PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ARBORICULTURE, SHALL BE ASSESSED FOR
DAMAGES TO THE TREES.
GRADING/EXCAVATING:
ALL GRADING PLANS THAT SPECIFY GRADING WITHIN THE DRIP LINE OF ANY TREE, OR WITHIN THE
DISTANCE FROM THE TRUNK AS OUTLINED IN THE SITE PREPARATION SECTION ABOVE WHEN SAID
DISTANCE IS OUTSIDE THE DRIP LINE, SHALL FIRST BE REVIEWED BY A CERTIFIED ARBORIST.
PROVISIONS FOR AERATION, DRAINAGE, PRUNING, TUNNELING BENEATH ROOTS, ROOT PRUNING
OR OTHER NECESSARY ACTIONS TO PROTECT THE TREES SHALL BE OUTLINED BY AN ARBORIST. IF
TRENCHING IS NECESSARY WITHIN THE AREA AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SAID TRENCHING SHALL BE
UNDERTAKEN BY HAND LABOR AND DUG DIRECTLY BENEATH THE TRUNK OF THE TREE. ALL ROOTS
2 INCHES OR LARGER SHALL BE TUNNELED UNDER AND OTHER ROOTS SHALL BE CUT SMOOTHLY
TO THE TRUNK SIDE OF THE TRENCH. THE TRUNK SIDE SHOULD BE DRAPED IMMEDIATELY WITH
TWO LAYERS OF UNTREATED BURLAP TO A DEPTH OF 3 FEET FROM THE SURFACE. THE BURLAP
SHALL BE SOAKED NIGHTLY AND LEFT IN PLACE UNTIL THE TRENCH IS BACK FILLED TO THE
ORIGINAL LEVEL. AN ARBORIST SHALL EXAMINE THE TRENCH PRIOR TO BACK FILLING TO
ASCERTAIN THE NUMBER AND SIZE OF ROOTS CUT, SO AS TO SUGGEST THE NECESSARY REMEDIAL
REPAIRS.
REMEDIAL REPAIRS:
AN ARBORIST SHALL HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OBSERVING ALL ONGOING ACTIVITIES THAT
MAY AFFECT THE TREES AND PRESCRIBING NECESSARY REMEDIAL WORK TO ENSURE THE HEALTH
AND STABILITY OF THE TREES. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ALL ARBORIST ACTIVITIES
BROUGHT OUT IN THE PREVIOUS SECTIONS. IN ADDITION, PRUNING, AS OUTLINED IN
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ARBORICULTURE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: PRUNING AND ANSI
A300 PART 1 STANDARD PRACTICES: PRUNING, SHALL BE PRESCRIBED AS NECESSARY.
FERTILIZING, AERATION, IRRIGATION, PEST CONTROL AND OTHER ACTIVITIES SHALL BE
PRESCRIBED ACCORDING TO THE TREE NEEDS, LOCAL SITE REQUIREMENTS, AND STATE
AGRICULTURAL PEST CONTROL LAWS. ALL SPECIFICATIONS SHALL BE IN WRITING. FOR PEST
CONTROL OPERATIONS, CONSULT THE LOCAL COUNTY AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
FOR INDIVIDUALS LICENSED AS PEST CONTROL ADVISORS OR PEST CONTROL OPERATORS.
FINAL INSPECTION:
UPON COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT, THE ARBORIST SHALL REVIEW ALL WORK UNDERTAKEN THAT
MAY IMPACT THE EXISTING TREES. SPECIAL ATTENTION SHALL BE GIVEN TO CUTS AND FILLS,
COMPACTING, DRAINAGE, PRUNING AND FUTURE REMEDIAL WORK. AN ARBORIST SHOULD SUBMIT
A FINAL REPORT IN WRITING OUTLINING THE ONGOING REMEDIAL CARE FOLLOWING THE FINAL
INSPECTION.

1.CONTRACTOR SHALL CONNECT P.O.C. FROM DOWNSTREAM OF WATER METER AND COMPLETE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM AS SHOWN ON THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS.
2.DRAWINGS ARE DIAGRAMMATIC AND DO NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE ALL THE OFFSETS AND FITTINGS REQUIRED FOR A COMPLETE IRRIGATION SYSTEM. THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM SHALL BE
INSTALLED WITHIN A PLANTING AREA WHEREVER POSSIBLE. CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ADJUSTMENTS NECESSARY TO CONFORM TO ACTUAL FIELD CONDITIONS.
3.EQUIPMENT INCLUDING MAIN, LATERALS, AND VALVES SHOWN IN HARDSCAPE AREAS ARE FOR DESIGN CLARIFICATION ONLY AND SHALL BE INSTALLED WHENEVER POSSIBLE WITHIN PLANTED
AREAS A REASONABLE, REACHABLE DISTANCE FROM HARDSCAPE OR TURF AREAS UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON THE DRAWINGS.
4.CONTRACTOR SHALL INSTALL WIRE AND PIPE UNDER HARDSCAPE AREAS IN SEPERATE P.V.C. SCHEDULE 40 SLEEVES. CONTRACTOR SHALL COORDINATE PIPING AND SLEEVING LOCATION PRIOR
TO HARDSCAPE INSTALLATION. SLEEVING SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES. WHEREVER POSSIBLE, CONTROL WIRES SHALL OCCUPY THE SAME TRENCH AS PIPES.
EACH CONTROLLER SHALL HAVE AN INDEPENDENT GROUND WIRE.
5."I HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE CRITERIA OF THE ORDINANCE AND APPLIED THEM ACCORDINGLY FOR THE EFFICIENT USE OF WATER IN THE IRRIGATION DESIGN PLAN." INSTALL IRRIGATION SYSTEM
IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL AND STATE CODES AND ORDINANCES.
6.THE EXISTING WATER PRESSURE AT THE PROPOSED WATER METER LOCATION RANGES FROM XX TO XX P.S.I. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL VERIFY ALL EXISTING CONDITIONS AND WATER
PRESSURE. IF ANY DISCREPANCY EXISTS BETWEEN DESIGN AND ACTUAL FIELD CONDITIONS NOTIFY THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT IMMEDIATELY IN WRITING FOR A DECISION BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION.
7.SYSTEM DESIGN IS BASED ON A MINIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE (P.S.I.) AND A MAXIMUM DEMAND (G.P.M.) AS SHOWN AT EACH POINT OF CONNECTION ON THE DRAWINGS. CONTRACTOR SHALL
VERIFY PRESSURE AND DEMAND AT EACH POINT OF CONNECTION PRIOR TO COMMENCING INSTALLATION AND SUBMIT SUCH IN WRITING TO THE OWNER'S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. IF ANY
DISCREPANCIES EXIST, THEY SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE OWNER'S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.
9.CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLETE AND EFFECTIVE COVERAGE OF ALL PLANTING AREAS. DURING THE MAINTENANCE PERIOD, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR TO ENSURE ALL PLANT MATERIAL RECEIVES AS MUCH WATER AS IS NECESSARY FOR ESTABLISHMENT AND TO SUSTAIN GOOD PLANT HEALTH.
10.CONTRACTOR SHALL FLUSH ALL LINES AND ADJUST IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS. COSTS INCURRED DUE TO ANY
ADJUSTMENTS FOR 100% COVERAGE, INCLUDING THOSE REQUESTED BY THE OWNER'S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR.
11.CONTRACTOR SHALL COORDINATE INSTALLATION OF THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM WITH THE LAYOUT AND INSTALLATION OF THE PLANT MATERIAL TO ENSURE THAT THERE WILL BE COMPLETE AND

(Lightning Arrestor). ASIC Spec: Section 7.0 – Measuring resistance, item A.
Ground rods and plates shall be located at a minimum distance to assure that the
two-wire path is outside of the electrode sphere of influence for the grounding rod. For
an 8’ grounding rod, this
means that the grounding rod must be connected at least 8’ away from the two-wire
path, at a
right angle to the two-wire path. See the section below for details on connecting the
grounding
rod or plate to the device or lightning arrestor. (Under no circumstance should a
ground rod or
ground plate be installed in or under a valve box, meter box or electrical box.)
Trenches shall be of open vertical construction to appropriate depths as indicated on

Rotary would open donations to all of club members, other service clubs and then to the
community at large including the neighbors to the grove. Rotary would also be open to
businesses being sponsors, as well. The approval of sponsors would be at the discretion of
Rotary Centennial Committee. We do not foresee declining any but would want that option.
Town reserves the right to decline placement of the names of any business or any personal
messaging from donors that it deems to be immoral, unethical or in conflict with the values of
the Town.
