Conceptual Planting Plan Detail

Existing Pipeline

LARGE TREESPlant starting 25 ft from the centerline outward to edge of ROW. Trees should not be planted closer than 20 feet together.LARGE SHRUBS & SMALL TREESPlant most large shrubs and small trees in the Shrub planting area, starting from 15 ft from the centerline. Plant a few in the Tree planting area to allow for a more natural appearance. Large shrubs and small trees should not be planted closer than 12 feet together.MEDIUM SHRUBSPlant starting at 15ft from centerline in the Shrub planting area. A few may be planted in open areas in the Tree planting area to allow for a more natural and blended appearance. Plant individually or in groupings of 2-3 on 8 foot centers, allowing open space between groupings.SMALL SHRUBSPlant starting at 6ft from centerline in the Small Shrub planting area. A few can be planted in the Shrub planting area to blend and create a more natural transition. Do not plant small shrubs in the Tree planting area. Plant in groupings of 2-4 on 4ft centers, allowing open space between groupings.

Final species list generated from literature searches forcommercially-available shrubs and trees that do not have extensive rooting systems that might interfere with the pipeline. Following the recommended planting setbacks assures that rooting systems of mature trees and shrubs will not interfere with pipeline.
