It is the intent of this contract to have all marked hazard trees cut (safely placed on the ground and out of high traffic areas), tops of trees to be cut off and lopped to 3 feet or less from the ground, and stump height to be no more than 12 inches.

Nearby overhead electric lines, buildings or other complexities may impact these marked trees. The marked trees have been deemed hazardous due to multiple and significant defects, such as, disease, decay, cracks, invasive species, weak branch unions and/or leaning branches.

All woody debris must be kept clear of concentrated use areas (i.e., campsites, roads, parking lots, trails, buildings, play areas, and/or any other infrastructure); 4) Limbing of trees shall be consistent with the standard arborist practices so as to allow the tree to heal naturally.

Do not deposit any material in streams, streambeds, culvert inlets or outlets, or drainage ways.

The Contractor shall be responsible for contacting the appropriate electricity providers. Overhead electric lines are located via utility poles to provide electric to facilities and recreation areas. The

Contractor shall be responsible for contacting Allegheny Site Management (private concessionaire under special use permit operating the recreation areas and boat launches) and/or Forest Service facility.

Areas outside the limits of marked hazard trees disturbed by the contractor's operations shall be restored by the contractor to their original condition at the contractor's expense.

All equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned to make it free of soil, non-native invasive species of other debris that could contain or hold seeds prior to being delivered to and removed from the project site.

Equipment shall be considered free of non-native or invasive species and other such debris when a visual inspection by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), completed prior to the equipment being moved to the site, does not disclose such material present.
