Any construction operation that may cause damage or which impacts a public-property tree's critical root zone, trunk, and/or crown shall not commence until the Arborist has reviewed the construction operation-methods for compliance with the UFMP and the Contractor has received from the Arborist written approval to proceed.
Emergency repairs can be completed without the review and approval of the Arborist and any damage to a public property tree shall be repaired and/or replaced as directed by the Arborist. In the event that any person, firm, or corporation completing an emergency repair causes damage to a public property tree and fails to repair or replace said tree as directed shall be just cause for the Arborist to cause said repair or replacement to occur. The Service Director shall collect, by all means possible, the cost incurred.
