Tree Work Tree Work includes the planting, removal or relocation of trees. Considerations: • Trees should be placed in locations greater than 0.6 metres (2 feet) from natural gas Pipelines. • Despite anything to the contrary, trees within the Right of Way may be subject to removal by SaskEnergy at the Grantee or owner’s expense if access is required to construct, inspect, maintain, alter, replace or repair the Pipeline, or if a safety concern arises. • For site preparation, see Minor Landscaping or Major Landscaping, as applicable. Allowed under the following conditions: 1) Planting trees with a mature height of less than 5 metres (16 feet) in any location. 2) Planting trees with a mature height greater than 5 metres (16 feet) tall is allowed if located at a distance greater than 1.5 metres (5 feet) from intersections of natural gas Pipelines. 3) Removal of any or all parts of the tree located above grade. 4) Mechanical Excavation (such as a tree spade or stump grinder) is allowed at a minimum 0.6 metre (2 foot) offset from the Pipeline, and to any depth, only if the exact pipe location is visually verified by hand digging, or hydro-vac excavation. 5) Hand Digging, or Hydro-Vac excavation, to any depth where depth of cover over the Pipeline and Pipeline Right of Way is maintained, or restored. Prohibited: 1) Any tree planting not expressly allowed above is prohibited. 2) Trees with a mature height of greater than 5 metres (16 feet), within the Right of Way and within 1.5 metres (5 feet) from intersections of Pipelines. 3) Except as provided for above, Mechanical Excavation below 0.3 metres (1 foot), or Directly Over the Pipeline, is prohibited.
All distances are relative to the Pipeline and not the line locate markers (e.g. flag, stake or paint) and are deemed accurate if placed within one metre horizontal distance from the Pipeline. Visit www.saskenergy.com/planningadigproject
