Had an old Sugar Maple on the hillside next to my house , 30+"DBH probably 80'H with big spread tops. Grew in just below the Container ... we pumped and removed the old steel 500 G and replaced it with a Fiberglass 1000 G a few years back. Clearly saw and noted the location and connection to the original leacheate outflow pipe at the the time , a codominate so half of it leaned right over that spot. Been meaning to remove it for years since the new tank went in without breaking anything. Smartest way was to piece and lower everything which led to me putting it off. Two winters ago with 3' of accumulated snow on the ground I headed out there with a shovel , saw , axe , and Wedges ... took my chances , shoveled out the butt , falling cuts above the union , and fell the lead whole , landed it fairly gently considering and it worked out no problem.
