10 <br />6. All cut foliage, limbs, tree tops, and branches may not be dropped <br />into any waters or wetlands, or in positions where they could <br />enter any such area. <br />B. LIVE TREE TOPPING (Decaying Live Tree Creation – up to 50% of trees in <br />each unit) <br /> <br />1. Tree trunks shall be severed completely 10 feet above 4 – 5 whorls <br />of live limbs (typically around 60’ in height but at a minimum of 20’). <br />2. Live branches below the severed top can remain in place. <br />3. As many dead branches should be left on the snag tree as is <br />possible. <br />4. Several vertical saw cuts two (2) to three (3) inches deep shall be <br />made completely across the cut top of the tree to create a jagged <br />top. <br />5. If necessary, limbs shall be cut from the underside of the felled <br />tree top such that the felled tree top lies in contract with the <br />ground. <br />6. All cut foliage, limbs, tree tops, and branches may not be dropped <br />into any waters or wetlands, or in positions where they could <br />enter any such area. <br /> <br />4.3 FIELD MARKING AND TALLYING <br /> <br />A numbered metal tag will be nailed to each snag or DLT, with number corresponding <br />to the identification number listed for each tree in Table 1. The following information <br />will be recorded on the field data form (Figure 1) for each: <br /> <br />A. Tag/tree number <br />B. Tree species <br />C. DBH <br />D. Approximate height of snag (rounded to the nearest 5’) <br />E. Whether a snag or DLT was created at that location <br />4.4 TALLY SHEET AND RECORDING <br />A completed tally sheet as shown in Figure 1 shall be submitted to the CITY Project <br />Manager for each unit after it is completed.
