<br />Levee Embankments <br />For use during Initial and Continuing Eligibility <br /> <br />Inspections of levee systems <br /> <br /> <br />The levee has little or no unwanted vegetation (trees, hush. or undesirable weeds), except fo INote: See drainage pipes for unwanted <br />vegetation that is properly contained and/or situated on overbuilt sections, such that the mandatory vegetation <br />3-foot root-free zone is preserved around the levee profile. The levee has been recently mowed. . <br />The vegetation-free zone extends 15 feet from both the lands ide and riverside toes of thc levee to <br />the centerline of the tree. If the levee access easement doesn't extend to the described limits, then <br />the vegetation-free zone must be maintained to the easement limits.
