Sponsored by APWA's Utilities and Right-of-Way Committee Invasive tree roots can apply significant pressure to pipeline joints and coatings. The San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) has implemented a formal tree management policy to identify, monitor, approve or remove encroachments on pipelines. 

Learning Objectives:

1.     Evaluate SDCWA’s research on the effects of tree roots on large diameter pipelines.

2.     Examine SDCWA’s tree management policy to accommodate trees in the right-of-way.

3.     Determine if the tree management program implemented by SDCWA would work for your agency.
