RE: Foothill Boulevard Tree Replacement Program
Dear Mr. Patanwala:
In accordance with our agreement, attached is an
arboricultural report regarding a eucalyptus reforestation
program for the north side of Foothill Boulevard between
Cherry and Lime Avenues.
There has been some delay in submitting the report because
the original scope of work was unclear, Cal Trans
specifications had to be obtained, and the field work took
longer than originally anticipated. For these reasons, we
request an extension from January 20 to March 30, 1991.
This report is subject to the attached Limiting Conditions
and Certifications.
Thank you for ].ooking to Knapp Associates for your
arboricultural needs. I know that our knowledge will aid
in your "green investment."
Sincerely,

PURPOSE
The purpose of this arboricultural report is to provide
the City of Fontana with a eucalyptus windrow
reforestation plan.
The environmental principles set forth apply toward
maintaining this ecosystem and plant community. Project
success relies heavily on installation, maintenance, and
consulting arborist inspection.
SITE
CLIMATIC ADJUSTMENTS
There will be climatic changes in the general area due to
increased construction activities. Hot summer winds and
enough to cool themselves. A moist soil is very important
to provide more humidity and a cooling effect. Mulches
play an important role in favorably modifying soil
temperatures. The average winter minimum temperature is
36 degrees, with the average maximum summer temperature
being 102 degrees. The growing season is 300+ days per
year.
SOIL ANALYSIS
The soil reaction was slightly alkaline, with a low lime
content, and the boron concentration well below the toxic
range. The salinity (ECe) level is low, and based on the
soluble sodium, is well balanced by calcium and magnesium.
In summary, the soil area represented by the samples is
suitable for plant growth. The available nitrogen and
phos horus are low with a potassium moderate. The overall
fertility levels are below the desired range. In fact,
based on the nitro en data in particular, we should be
adding additional ~ertilizer to achieve the desired plant
growth. The fertilizer recommendations will be under
"fertilization" in this report.
RAINFAll.
The average rainfall is 12± inches per year which
classifies this area as an arid environment.
-4-
TREE SPECIES
The following species are recommended; however, the red
gum is preferred:
Eucalyptus camaldulensis - Red Gum
An evergreen which grows 80-120 ft., typically with a
curved trunk, spreading crown, and graceful weeping
branches. Fine desert tree and endures alkaline soils.
Excellent tree for highways~ broad streets, or parks.
Eucalyptus rudis - Desert Gum
A drought tolerant evergreen shade tree which grows
upright and spreads 30-60 ft. Grows well in the desert in
gravelly soils with excellent drainage. Excellent tree
for shade or street.
SIZES
I would recommend 3-6 inch seedlings or 1 gallon size for
the eucalyptus species. This smaller size adapts faster
and better to the planting environment.
"Check the size of your seedling in proportion to its
pot. Do not buy any seedlings that are over 6 inches
high, you will simply be wasting money. Your
seedling should be no taller than twice the pot
depth. The best seedling will only be as tall as the
depth of the pot. A 3-inch tall seedling planted out
of a 3-inch deep pot will out grow a 15 gallon
eucal ptus. There is a negative relationship between
the s~ze of your seedling and cost effectiveness.
Smaller seedlings are much more cost effective." (1)
SPACING RECOMMENDATIONS
The conceptual desi n would be placement of eucalyptus
trees in a double w~ndrow. In conjunction with Cal Trans
specifications, trees should be planted 30-40 feet from
the curb, 8 feet apart horizontally, and 10 feet apart
vertically. Trees must also be 10-20 feet away from any
hardscapes (See Diagram A).
SELECTION
Three paramount items for selection would be root
structure, trunk foliage, and arborist inspection. Make
sure, by hysical inspection, that the nurseries have cut
the seedlYng's taproot when shifting to larger container
sizes. This promotes lateral root growth, thereb
limiting circling/spiraling root systems common w~th
container grown plants (see Exhibit 1 on kinked and
circling roots). For optimum tree success, seed source
should be known.
All plants must have lower foliage remaining on the trunk.
The lower foliage helps to protect the tree from wind,
heat, cold, and desiccation, and is an added food source.
Leaving the lower laterals on the main trunk also promotes
better structural support so that staking is not
necessary. Optionally, nursery stock should NOT have
stakes. Stakes in the nursery will necessitate stakes in
the field. If staking is required, refer to U.C. leaflet
#2576.
Nurseries and plants must be arborist selected/inspected
to ensure plant quality.
PLANTING DETAIL
PLANTING
* Site must be prepared for planting if soil is
compacted.
, Entire plant zone {]hould be ripped or aerated to a 3
foot depth.
, Water the hole prior to planting to saturate soil and
observe soil drainage.
, Unamended native soil would be suitable backfill
material. No rocks over 2-3 inches in diameter.
, The hole should be twice the width of the container or
root ball.
, Plant "high." Dig the hole no deeper than necessary--
soil may lead to future crown rot m
~HING
Use a coarse woodchip mulch to conserve moisture, limit
weed growth, and improve water/oxygen infiltration. Mulch
main ains favorable soil temperatures and encourages t
fibrous root development. The mulch and decomposing
leaves may be essential for the beneficial mycorrhizal
fungi.
, Spread coarse woodchips 4-6 inches in depth throughout
the root zone.
-6-
DRIP IP~IGATION
Subterranean drip irrigation is the most appropriate
method of irrigating t~e windrows.
Plants will need supplemental water when there has been
less than 18+ inches of rainfall.
Dri~ irrigation is the term used to describe a method of
irrigation which is characterized by the following
features:
, Water is applied at a low pressure delivery.
* Water is applied over a long period of time.
, Water is applied directly into the plant's root
zone.
Water enters the soil from emitters (small mechanical
devices), moving into the root zone of the plant. In this
way, the plant's absorption of moisture and elements are
replenished as needed, thereby limiting water stress.
All the drip irrigation should be completely covered by
2-4 inches of soil. Emitters must be placed at the
rootball and extend to a 12-foot radius beyond the stem.
In the first 1 through 3 growing seasons, the emitters at
the base of the trees should be plugged so that no
watering will occur within approximately a 3-foot radius
of the tree crowns.
Most of the root volume of oung container plants occupies
a rather limited area, particularly through the first
growing season. Lighter and more frequent watering will
be needed until the roots become established in the native
soil.
WATER SCHEDD'LE
The soil around the rootball must be kept moist, but not
saturated. The use of a moisture sensing device and/or
soil probe is recommended. The watering must be adjusted
for environmental conditions. Irrigation guidelines for
planting trees are as follows:
, The first 3 months after planting, watering
should be done 2-3 times per week.
* The following 3 month period, watering should
-7-
be done once every week.
· The following 3 month period, watering should
be done once every 2 weeks.
· The following 3 month period, watering should
be done once every 3 weeks.
· The following 6 month period, watering should
be done once every 4 weeks.
· Trees will need summer watering for 1-6± years.
FERTILIZATION
Eucaly tus trees do not normall~ require large amounts of
fertilizer. The plant's leaf litter generally sup lies
enough elements in most natural situations. Fertil-
ization will be needed during the first 5 years.
Fertilize during the rainy season.
To aid in plant development, I would recommend the
following schedules:
, On the 3rd and 6th month following planting,
trees will be fertilized with a 16-4-4 slow-
release fertilizer.
* Soil tests will be performed by Knapp Associates
to determine the appropriate concentrations and
placement.
]~ I NTENANCE
Shaping Or Pruning Trees:
Generally, the tree's natural form is best. Depending on
plant size, selective structural pruning should be done
during the first 5 years of the project.
Prune only dead and broken branches at planting time.
After the first year, prune out only dead, broken, and
crossing branches.
Inspection must be made for insects and diseases and can
generally be kept in check by natural controls.
, After 6 months, dig down to check extent of new root
growth per Knapp Associates' field example.
* Observe youn trees for otential rowth problems:
* every month for the f~rst 6 months
* check quarterly every two years
* check biannually thereafter
CONCLUSION
Inspection and testing of the work is a vital part of the
entlre reforestation ~rocess. Details should be inspected
by a consulting arborlst, during and after the planting
process. Post care is extremely important. It is my
opinion that the site conditions will work well with the
windrow reforestation program.

Samuel L. Knapp, ASCA

SOIL ANALYSIS
Soil reaction is moderately alkaline with lime content low
and boron concentration below the toxic range. The
salinity (ECe) level is satisfactorily low, and based on
the SAR value, soluble sodium is adequately balanced by
calcium and magnesium. In summary, the soil area
represented by the samples received is nonsaline and
nonsodic in nature.
Available nitrogen is low with phosphorus high optimum and
potassium mid to hi h optimum. Calcium and magnesium
levels are also satisfactory.
A maintenance fertilizer program should be employed.
Ammonium sulfate will have acidifying effect on the soil.
Additional soil testing should be performed before
planting.

INTRODUCTION
This plant list has been developed as an aid for selecting and spacing
appropriate plant mater~al for highway planting projects.
Many species included in this list have been used successfully since the
1940's, while others have been more recently introduced. It is recognized
that California, with ice diverse soil and climatic conditions, will not
sustain all the listed plants in every location and therefor the plant pallet
for any g~ven project must be carefully chosen.
Minimum setback and on center spacing of plants should be followed
unless special circumstances require an adjustment to meet unusual site
~onditions or other District requirements. All safety requirements must be
met including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Highway Design
Manual and those based on FI-IWA guidelines.

Re: Foothill Boulevard Fontana - Tree Program
Dear Mr. Thompson:
As was previously discussed with you, the City of Fontana is establishing the
tree account as a mitigation measure for the Foothill Boulevard sewer project,
which is located on the north side of Foothill from Cherry Avenue to Lime
Avenue. According to our calculations, as shown in the attached chart, a total
of $38,400 will be deposited in this account. The City tentatively proposes to
use the funds in the following manner:
1. Approximately $22,000 will be allocated to the preparation of a
concept landscape plan to be used for Foothill Boulevard. This plan
would be submitted for Caltrans approval.
2. Approximately $8,200 will be allocated to the planting of replacement
trees along the north side of Foothill Boulevard in Caltrans ultimate
right-of-way. These trees will be placed in the areas where the
property owners have agreed to maintain the trees until such time as
Foothill Boulevard is fully improved. Any plantings in Caltrans
right-of-way will be by a permit issued by Caltrans.
3. The remaining $8,400 will be allocated for the planting of replacement
trees in the public right-of-way where needed along Foothill
Boulevard, and as per Celttans permit approval.

AREA CERTIFIED ARBORISTS;
What is a Certified Arborist? The Western Chapter of Lhe Internalional Sociely
of Arboriculture (WC ISA) established the Certified Arborist program to develop
a slandard foc tree care profeasionals. Previously, no designation existed,
making iL difficult for homeowners to assess qualifications of tree pruners.
Many newspaper ads simply listed qualifications as "licensed" and "insured",
having no pertinence to tree pruning expertise.
This does not mean Lhat all non-certified ~ee pruners are unqualified. The
pragram is relatively new, and more and more tree care professionals are taking
necessary exams Lo become cerLified each year.
The program does, however, offer assurance of expertise. AII Certified
ArborisLs and Tree Workers have passed rigorous exams, attesting to their
abiiiLies.

Dear Mr. Patanwala:
In accordanc~ with our agreement, attached is an
arboricultu~al report re arding a eucalyptus reforestation
program for the north size of Foothill Boulevard between

longer than originally anticipated. For these reasons, we
request an extension from January 20 to February 6, 1991.
This re ort is subject to the attached Limiting Conditions
and Cer[ifications.
Thank you for looking to Knapp Associates for your
arboricultural needs. I know that our knowledge will aid
in your "green investment.,'

Memorandum
TO: Ed Okuma, Deputy Finance Director i~/~
FROM: Laura Dale, Administrative Analyst II, Engineer
SUBJECT: Foothill-Beech Sewer Project Tree Replacement Account
DATE: August 14, 1990
The City Council approved a request to establish a tree replacement
account for the Foothill/Beech Sewer Interceptor Project on
February 2, 1990.
Although this account would have been created in the capital
projects budget for FY 90-91, that budget has not yet been
approved. The sewer project is moving forward, and we need to
reserve these funds as soon as possible. I have attached a copy
of the approved agenda item.
The tree reserve account should be established in the sewer capital
fund, 071, in the following amounts:
Foothill Boulevard $43,500
Beech Avenue $52,500
If it is easier to simply designate those accounts as reserved
funds without actually carrying over those accounts from year-to-
year, please let me know. The commitment we made to CALTRANS
included establishing a replacement account for Foothill Boulevard
only and furnishing them with a yearly audit of those funds, thus
we may not be able to simply reserve the money for Foothill. The
Beech Avenue tree account is separate from the CALTRANS agreement
and may be handled separately. Please let me know what works for
you (x 6793). Thank you for your cooperation.
