Section 2: Determining Levels of Vegetation Management
Purpose of Levels
To aid maintenance planners, vegetation managers and workers,
the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has established two
levels of vegetation management. Each level sets forth a special
set of guidelines for vegetation management. The Developed Urban
and Rural level types are both described in detail in Section 3
of this chapter.
Who Determines the Levels?
District engineers will use the level of development of the adjacent property to determine the level of vegetation management for each segment of state maintained right of way within his or her district.
Following is an example of the two vegetation management levels.
