, . ••._ <br /> 21 <br /> nTh 2 <br /> GREEN TREE EXPERTS, INC, D i!,,,,,,,,_ -• i <br /> Or. en. Post Office Box 1233 <br /> ..•.-.7- <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> (919) 967-9132 <br /> ;A:$4 <br /> AUgUst 7, 1994 <br /> Bill Hendrickson <br /> 2219 Lawrence Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> I recently inspected the trees growing on a dam at the Hendrickson <br /> property in Hillsborough, NC. Most of tha significant trees growing <br /> on the dam were eastern white pine approxiqtately 40 to 50 years old. <br /> The trees appeared healthy and have a potential lifespan in the <br /> Hillsborough area of 120 years or more Tile trees leaned slightly <br /> into the pond. I was asked if,tte trees posed a threat to the dam <br /> in terms of possible rupture due to uprooting or otherwise. . <br /> The existing pines appear to have an extensive lateral toot <br /> system growing throughout the dam. The actual tree bases and root <br /> collars are on the side of the dam away from the water. If the trees <br /> were to uproot, it is most likely they would break at the root collar <br /> and fall toward the pond pulling out a small section of dam. on the side <br /> opposite the water. The larger area of lateral roots would likely <br /> remain intact. I feel it is unlikely that the dam would burst due to <br /> one of these trees falling. <br /> . . <br /> Since the lateral root system has become such an integral part of <br /> the dam structure, it would not be advisable to cut the pines since the <br /> stumps and roots would rot in a few years .ind hence weaken the dam. It <br /> may be helpful to prune and lighten the pines on the side over the pond <br /> to help reduce any chance of them falling. <br /> /.. <br /> Derek J.
