My advice: leave the trees there. Alder and cottonwood are good native trees cleaning the air and water. If you want conifers, underplant with shade tolerant trees like western red cedar and western hemlock.

You'll also find that not only are those trees acting as a pollutant barrier, they are working as a sound barrier and wind break from the weather and road. Removing those trees is a bad idea.
