Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 48 If the canopy of a tree located on private property extends over a public ROW such as a sidewalk, removal of hazardous limbs on the tree that extend over the public ROW and meet the above criteria may be eligible. Limbs on the tree that do not extend over the public ROW are not eligible.  Documentation required for Public Assistance grant consideration:  Describe the immediate threat, e.g., photos of hanging limbs or leaning trees;  Clearly define the scope of work to remove the immediate threat;  Specify the improved public property location by recording the nearest building address and/or GPS location; and  Denote date, labor (force account or contract), and equipment used to perform the work. Hazardous Tree Stumps A stump may be determined to be hazardous and eligible for Public Assistance grant funding as a per-unit cost for stump removal if it meets all of the following criteria:  It has 50 percent or more of the root-ball exposed (less than 50 percent of the root-ball exposed should be flush cut)  It is greater than 2 feet in diameter, as measured 2 feet above the ground  It is on improved public property or a public ROW  It poses an immediate threat to life, and public health and safety If an uprooted stump must be removed prior to state and/or federal approval, the public entity must submit the following information for Public Assistance grant consideration:  Photographs and GPS coordinates that establish the location on public property  Specifics of the threat  Diameter of the stump 24 inches from the ground  Quantity of material needed to fill the resultant hole The state and/or FEMA may reimburse the reasonable cost to remove, transport, dispose of, and fill the hole from a stump of more than 2 feet in diameter if:  The City and State agree the tree or stump is hazardous according to the above definition  Generally, if the removal was approved in advance A Hazardous Stump Worksheet is completed and submitted for FEMA approval. A copy of the Hazardous Stump Worksheet may be found in Attachment K of this plan. In some instances, grinding of an uprooted stump and filling the resulting cavity may cost less than a complete extraction. In these cases, the City should present the cost comparison documentation to the State and/or FEMA for consideration; however, the stump must have already been determined eligible for removal according to the above criteria. Stumps measuring 2 feet in diameter or less do not require special equipment for removal; therefore, reimbursement will be based on the reasonable unit cost per cubic yard (CY), using the Stump Conversion Table found in Attachment K. The unit price for stump removal includes the extraction, transport, and disposal of the stump as well as filling the cavity that remains.
