It has not yet been adopted by council, but we are working closely with a sub-committee of council and anticipate that it will be approved with some revisions early in the New Year. Of relevance to your question is that we are requiring a minimum of 15m3 of soil per tree with a depth of 750mm. Where more than one tree is planted in a single volume of soil, they are allowed to share, so that not every tree requires 15m3. We anticipate revising the wording to read that where possible, without the use of engineered rooting environments (SilvaCells or CU Soil), each volume of soil will be a minimum of 30m3. This proposed standard, while developed for North Oakville will be applied Town-wide. Let me know if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Brett Woodman<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Terrestrial and Wetland Biologist / Certified Arborist<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Natural Resource Solutions Inc.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Waterloo, ON<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>(519) 580-0098<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="http://www.nrsi.on.ca/">http://www.nrsi.on.ca/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> "<a href="mailto:SVescio@thunderbay.ca">SVescio@thunderbay.ca</a>" <<a href="mailto:SVescio@thunderbay.ca">SVescio@thunderbay.ca</a>><br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:canufnet@list.web.net">canufnet@list.web.net</a> <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, December 13, 2011 4:28:04 PM<br><b>Subject:</b> [CANUFNET] Soil volume requirements in subdivision agreements</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div id=yiv1152922025><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Hi Everyone,</span><span style='color:black'> <br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>We are looking to include soil volume requirements in our subdivision agreements and would like to hear from municipalities that already do so.
