§ 30-785 Step 4 Action Determine if prop- erty is low tree den- sity or high tree den- sity. Less than 6 total caliper inches of sig- nificant trees per 1,000 square feet is considered low den- sity, 6 or more total caliper inches of sig- nificant trees per 1,000 square feet is considered high den- sity. Determine total cali- per inches of signifi- cant trees to be re- moved/harmed on property. Determine percent of significant tree call- per inches to be re- moved/harmed on property by dividing the total caliper inches of significant trees to be removed by the total caliper inches of significant trees originally on the property. Using the tree re- placement table, identify the total cal- iper inches of replace. ment trees required for the previously de- termined percent of removal and tree den- 'sity. VICTORIA CODE Example 150 total caliper inches of significant trees divided by 20.1 thousand square feet equals 7.5 Significant trees per 1,000 square feet, which is high density. 3--8" red cedar 1--24" northern red oak 1--12~ pin oak 1--8" box elder 68" total removed/harmed 68 total caliper inches of significant trees to be removed, divided by 150 total caliper inches of sign.i.'ficant trees originally on the property, equals 45 percent. At 45 percent removal and at high density, 0.5 caliper inches of replacement trees (measured 12 inches from ground) must be planted for every I inch of significant tree caliper inches removed. 68 total caliper inches removed, multiplied by 0.5, equals 34 total caliper inches of replacement trees required to be planted.
