VRMP Template – By Section
Step 4- (UTRI) Results
•Third:  Areas of Assessment and Mitigation by Table
•
The last to include in this section are Areas of Assessment and Mitigation by Table.
Explain the table and its use for field verification in this section.

Here is the image of the overall worksheet produced from the information derived from
the UTRI. The user will complete up to the inspection level and include that detailed
Information in the next section.

This table is used during field verification to verify that the UTRI ranking is correct or
not at each location and to notate necessary mitigation required, if any.

If the UTRI ranking is not correct it will be necessary to adjust the ranking to a higher or
lower ranking which in turn will change that road segments’ inspection schedule accordingly.

The worksheet, which includes Right of Way Road Segments listed by priority (very high,
high, moderate, and low), utilizes initial tree evaluations and mitigation steps recommended
and completed.

After field verifications are made, the results for action needed are placed in the Mitigation column

The worksheet therefore guides the mitigation work.  Mitigation might include pruning, removing,
or taking no action.  Mitigation, if any, will be listed in the Mitigation column.  Of course, a detailed
spreadsheet or another mechanism of tracking work planning will need to be developed or tallied to
total number of trees for prunes and removals as well as size of tree by caliper, etc.
