Document Description
Project will clear c.150,000 square feet of resprouted eucalyptus--c. 500 stems--in a high-ignition-prone roadside grove on the Claremont Canyon headslope Grizzly Peak Boulevard, City of Oakland). Site is a low saddle between higher East Bay hills that naturally funnels hot easterly Diablo winds into the Canyon. Contractor shall have flexibility in determing exact width and length of cut zone, but will fell all eucalyptus (with the possible exception of a few mature trees) within the cut zone, remove all ladder fuels, and follow standard public agency procedures for treating felled stumps with resprout inhibitor immediately after cut. Erosion control measures will be taken.
