The following conditions apply to the eDtire parcel if auy portion falk within the distance guideImes o Any construction or vegetation removal on a lot within 400 feet of a nest tree or roost site will require a bald eagle management plan tailored for the specific land use and landowners goals.

IBI Any lot located between 400 and 800 feet of a nest tree site: retain all known perch trees and all conifers 2:24 inches diameter at breast height (d.b.h). *Exception - the 5 identified danger trees (> 24 ~~dbh) located on the property may be removed. (See attached report). Also retain 2:500/0 of pre-clearing or pre- construction conifer stand with diameter distributions representative of the original stand (>6 feet tall). Wmdowing and low limbing of trees is acceptable provided no more than 30% of the live crown is removed. LI Any lot located >800 feet but within 1f:z mile from a nest and within 250 horizontal feet ofthe shoreline or top of high bank bordering a shoreline: Retain all known perch trees and conifers >24 inches diameter at breast height (d.b.h.). Also retain 2:500.10 ofpre-clearing or pre-construction conifer stand with diameter distributions representative of the original stand (>6 feet tall). Wmdowing and low limbing of trees is acceptable provided no more than 30% of the live crown is removed.

Worthington, Trustee 8025 State Route 20 Port Townsend WA 98368 Agent: Ellen WQrthington Jenner PO Box 265 Brinnon W A 98320 Author: Richard R Hefley Consulting Arborist ISA #PN-0784A JUN 25 Jefferson Environmenil:lit~;: c OBJECTIVES: Examine trees on the above listed property for risk. In this scenario, risk is defined as presenting a reasonable potential for short term (0-5years) failure which could result in damage to the residence or nearby outbuildings, all of which are frequently used by the residents. METHODS: Due to the large number of trees, I conducted a visual examination of the trees. I would :first examine the canopy for density and color of foliage, new growth, presence of dead or dying limbs, epicormic growths or any other signs of stress. I examine the trunk for sjgnS of weakly attached branches or stems, swellings, fungal growths, excessive bleeding of sap or other signs of stress or decay. Trees which showed visual signs of stress would be examined more closely; First I would strike the trunk with a mallet to listen for changes in pitch which could indicate internal decays. I would then take a 1/8" core sample to examine the internal wood. Trees that pose an unacceptable risk offailure were numbered with oval aluminum tags, and noted on a property map that will accompany this report. The map is drawn and provided by David Jenner. I conducted the survey of the trees on 06/01/07. OJ. of 5 ~ , DISCLAIMER: There is always the possibility of internal stress cracks or decay, or root rotting pathogens that are not detectable to the naked eye. Furthermore, high winds, particularly when preceded by heavy rains, can topple even the healthiest trees. This report does not guarantee that the trees examined will not fail for one of the above listed or any other reasons. OBSERVATIONS: Tree #500 is a Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas Fir). It is located approx. 10' west of the detached garage. The tree measures 50"Dbh (Diameter at breast (4.5') height). The tree is approx. 140' high. This tree, though the crown is healthy, has a pronounced dual leader with signs of included bark. This is a bulging ridge of bark that extends from the ground level to the point of leader division located approx. 6' above ground. There is included bark on both sides of the tree. A failure of one of the dual leaders would result in it striking every existing outbuilding and the primary residence. RECOMMENDATION: Removal EI\fE Tree #499 is a Thuja plicata (Western Red Cedar). It is located approx. 20' north of the detached garage. JUN 25 2007 The tree measures 31 "Dbh. The tree is approx. 120' high. _ J~3fferson County. There is a large swelling located approx. 6' above ground level, resulting in th~~~~ Health becoming significantly larger than the lower trunk. Closer examination reveals the trunk is very decayed at this point. This is a notable weak point, which could result in the upper portion of the tree breaking in even a moderate wind, and striking the residence. RECOMMENDATION: Removal Tree #498 is a Pseudotsuga menziesii. It is located approx. 30' north-west of the residence. The tree measures approx. 56"Dbh. The tree is approx. 160' high. There are many sapsucker holes around the base of the tree. The top was damaged at the 100' level, which has resulted in multiple leaders, several which appear to be weakly attached. RECOMMENDATION: Pruning or cabling of weakly attached leaders. Monitor yearly. 3016 .. < . , Tree #497 is a Pseudotsuga menziesii. It is located approx. 100' south-east of the residence. The tree measures 30"Dbh. The tree is approx. 120' high. At 12' above ground level on the west side, there is a swelling approx. 12" in diameter which is exuding large amounts of sap. There is also a conk (fungal growth) located on the east side at the same height. This suggests there is some dec~y bisecting the tree at this point This tree is located in a position where frequent winter storms could bring the tree onto the primary residence. RECOMMENDATION: Removal Tree #496 is a Pseudotsuga menziesii. It is located approx. 40' west of the detached garage. The tree measures 24"Dbh. The tree is approx. 125' high. There are numerouS fungal growths along the lower trunk, and the canopy appears noticeably lighter than similar sized firs. The tree is also located 10' from a Douglas Fir which previously failed due to an obvious rootlbutt rot. These rots tend to occur in localized pockets, which makes it very likely that tree #496 is suffering from the same pathogens. RECOMMENDATION: Removal Tree #495 is an Acer macrophyllum (BigleafMaple) It is located approx. 50' south -west of the detached garage. The tree measures 36"Dbh. The tree is approx. 100' high. There is veiy extensive decay inside this tree's trunk. In several places the healthy wood measures less than 2" thick. It is possible that this tree could crumple at any of these weak points, and strike the detached garage or the proposed shop site. RECOMMENDATION: Removal.
