§ 150.12 STANDARDS FOR PROTECTING TREES FROM CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES.
   (A)   The limit of disturbance (LOD) shall be identified, surveyed, delineated on the FCP, and clearly marked in the field. Extending the LOD beyond the preapproved limits, without obtaining prior approval from the county, is a violation of this chapter.
   (B)   Before the initiation of any disturbance on any site that has an approved FCP, it shall be demonstrated to the County that tree protection measures have been installed in a manner consistent with the approved FCP and the standards of the Technical Manual.
   (C)   All installed protective measures shall remain in place and be maintained in good condition until completion of construction. Tree protection fence shall only be removed when removal of sediment control devices is approved. Forest conservation signs along the boundaries of forest conservation easement areas shall remain in perpetuity.
   (D)   Damage occurring to areas of forest or specific trees identified for retention and protection during construction due to a lack of maintenance of protection measures is a violation of this chapter.
