Payne's Environmental is currently removing tall Australian Pines at the MURT project site. During the
removal and lowering of the top of one of the pines using a controlled rope, a smaller branch broke off of the
tree which hit the antennae of the lift station located near station 26+75 (south side).

Sarasota utilities was notified and confirmed that although the antennae were still providing communication, it
was damaged and will need to be repaired.
