Danger Trees Clause Samples

Danger Trees. If it is determined that the fee-owned or principal easement strip is not wide enough to eliminate danger tree concerns, the Requesting Party shall obtain additional permanent easements for danger tree removal beyond the bounds of the principal strip. The additional danger tree easement rights may be general in their coverage area, however if a width must be specified, NMPC Forestry shall make that determination but in no case shall less than 25’ feet be acquired beyond the bounds of the principal strip.

Danger Trees. Danger trees may be removed if the hazard cannot be eliminated by pruning, crown thinning, or other technique that maintains some habitat function. Danger tree removal may be mitigated without a mitigation plan by conversion of the danger tree to a wildlife snag and the installation of similar trees. Native tree removal in shoreline jurisdiction must be mitigated by the installation of a similar native tree at a 6:1 impact to mitigation ratio. Non-native tree removal must be mitigated by installation of a native or suitable non-native tree at a 6:1 impact to mitigation ratio. All mitigation trees shall be preferentially placed in the shoreline buffer, unless the trees provide connectivity to upland habitats or other critical areas.
