NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Stone Branch/Harts Creek portion of its 34.5kV distribution system in Lincoln, Logan, and Boone Counties in WV. On or about January 20th, 2026, contract crews will begin to trim and remove trees and brush and apply herbicides along our rights-of-way. Work will be done in accordance with International Society of Arboriculture guidelines and take into account factors such as tree species, growth characteristics, line voltage, etc. In unmaintained or undeveloped areas, cuttings will remain on site so as to minimize soil disturbance and to promote biodegradation. Rights-of-way in this area involved in the program are: Route 10, Harts, Main Harts, Francis Creek, Little Harts Creek, Saw Mill Road, Green Shoals, Big Branch, Atenville, and surrounding areas. Representatives will attempt to personally contact resident property owners at least seven business days prior to working on their property. Specifics regarding your property may be discussed at that time. If you are a nonresident property owner and have questions regarding our right-of-way maintenance they may be directed to: Appalachian Power Company Forestry Department 96 Riverview Ave. Logan, WV 25601 304-792-2376 LH-403711 01-14;2026
