2.2 Explain How To Manage A Site Drainage

When trees are removed from an area, it is presumably used for farming, or new construction. To support this claim, in the early eighteen hundreds, Illinois had more than twice the amount of timber it has now.( Iverson Pdf) With either action, farming or new construction soil protection

Based on the current conditions of the area, we hypothesis that tree survivability will be highest in elevations above 3,000 feet and below 3,300 feet, highest in slopes between 0 - 45 degrees, and highest in aspects between 0 - 33 degrees. Tree survivability will also be highest in area with the best soil, water quality, and forest health conditions for successful tree sapling growth.

In recent years, the City of Orem’s storm drains have occasionally become filled during periods of heavy rainfall. The filling of the storm drains has backed up water to such an extent that homes, particularly those in low-lying areas, become flooded, causing substantial damage to basements and the foundation of the homes. In a prior interview with Orem City’s Storm Water Field Supervisor, Rick Sabey, he responded that these irregular downpours overfill our city’s sumps1. Mr. Sabey feels that no city creates and designs their storm drain system based on something that rarely happens. “Most cities model [storm drains] after 10-year storms3.” In 2013, the City of Orem began designing precautions to better improve the

Once you address the immediate tree removal problem, then it is advisable to wait a month or two to see which trees bounce back from this event.

Trenches build on soft soil will break down very easily during rainfall,

old trees, small trees and shrubs. The timber volume of about 19 billion cubic meters,

Present recent case studies including Wirral Court itself, Basement Flooding Area 9 I&I Reduction Study, Developer Driven I&I Reduction Pilot Project in York Region. These case studies will include a detailed breakdown on the cost of investigations and remediation.

With the tremendous loss of life and destruction of property that resulted from Hurricane Katrina, the American Society of Civil Engineers and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) began redesigning and implementing new hurricane prevention system guidelines. Through extensive studies, it was evident that the structures for the levees were constructed on weak and compressible soil. “Although the geology of the area was relatively well known and borings taken were reasonably adequate for characterizing the variety of conditions in the area, the spacing could have missed local anomalies in soil type and strength” (USACE I-119). As a result, geotechnical engineers suggested a

Cutting down of trees is one environmental issue that has plagued the world for the past few decades. The reason for this is the fact that there has been an increased use of timber and an increase in population and the need for human settlement has ensured that an increased number of trees have been cut down.

Trees are becoming a scarcer resource everyday, thus planting trees not only saves homeowners money, but also positively affects the environment around them. In order to create a healthier, more financially stable society, and to reduce unnecessary energy emissions from properties, homeowners, realtors and developers must consolidate to reduce home sizes and create larger, more environmentally sustainable outdoor landscapes.

The corporation must not drain toxic quantities of acid, aluminium, iron and heavy metals may contaminate land and adjacent waterways on land because it can lead to severe impacts on vegetation and aquatic species. The hurried structure must not be building. The overlays code achieved the development to avoid release of acid and metal toxins into surrounding environment. When quarrying or others remove soil or sediment, need to be careful not to mix acids with groundwater, land, treating water and undertake ongoing drainage waters section

A tree with a bigger diameter will also take up more space. This also correlated with the age of the forests. The older the forest, the more mature its stems will be, and thus the greater DBH/area it will have. The stem per acre measurement can be misleading. The younger forest had many more stems than the older forest, but the stems taken into account ranged from sapling to 25 years old. With the progression to each stop, the stages of succession were evident. As a forest ages, its stems become more even aged. Stop 1 was in the aggradation phase, stop 2 was in a transition-steady state phase, and stop 3 was closest to an old growth

The harmful erosion has exposed tree roots that act as vital arteries and anchors for the tree. We will be covering these roots with sand and pea gravel in order to preserve both the trees and the trail itself. We will also be performing a stream clean up project in order to make the park beautiful and more enjoyable for all!

Our tree specialists have the resources, equipment, and expertise to handle any type of tree removal. If a tree has fallen on your property, or on a structure, contact us to have it removed safely and quickly.

The City should consider the LiDAR data when categorizing the causes of reported basement flooding. The LiDAR can be used to screen properties for follow-up survey of site conditions and flooding claims. This should be completed at the on-site of Basement Flooding EAs to determine the causes of reported
