Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. HAZARD TREES A. After the location of the fence has been determined, all hazard trees, which are within tree length of the fence, must be felled. Hazard trees are dead and dying trees, split trees, heavily leaning trees, and/or root sprung trees, which are in a position to fall across the fence. B. A Forestry Division representative will consult with the vendor to determine which trees are to be considered hazard trees. All trees determined by the Forestry Division to be merchantable may be required to be skid to a landing area assigned by the Forestry Division representative. 2. CLEARING FENCE AREA A. It is the responsibility of the contractor to clear and level a path at least six feet wide, but not more than eight feet wide, of all brush, stumps, rocks, or other obstructions. B. Obstructions, which in the opinion of the Forestry Division representative will cause greater installation or maintenance problems, may be left in place. C. This path will lie outside of the fence and will serve as the access corridor for equipment during installation, serve as a level location for the fence to be erected, and as a maintenance corridor. D. Disturbance of the entire perimeter may not be necessary. In those areas where the ground is naturally level, free of stumps, and/or free of rocks, no disturbance will be required. E. A bulldozer of the Caterpillar D4 class should be adequate in completing the required fence line clearing.
