The levee has been recently mowed. The vegetation-free zone extends 15 feet from both the landside and riverside toes of the levee to the centerline of the tree. If the levee access easement doesn't extend to the described limits. Reference EM For use during Initial and Continuing Eligibility Unwante, Vegetation Growth limits, then 0-2-30 I or A the vegetation-free zone must be maintained to the easement Corps policy for regional vegetation variance. Minimal vegetation growth (brush, weeds, or trees 2 inches in diameter or smaller) is present within the zones described above. This vegetation must be removed but does not currently threaten the operation or integrity of the levee. Significant vegetation growth (brush, weeas, .of any" trees greater than: 2 inches in diameter) is present within the zones described above and must to be removed to reestablish or ascertain levee integrity .
