Check watershed boundaries before defining the clearing scope.
LCRA’s Highland Lakes Watershed Ordinance covers certain land-disturbing activities within its mapped jurisdiction. For a Spicewood clearing project, check the address and work boundary before mobilization. The relevant question is not just how much brush is visible, but what ground disturbance and follow-on construction the project will involve.
Mark vegetation to retain, existing drainage features and staging access. List selective cutting, stump removal, grading and disposal separately. Do not combine exposed-lakebed work with upland clearing without reviewing the separate procedures. Coordinate stabilization and the next construction phase so removal does not leave an unmanaged work area after equipment departs.
