Notice to Customers: Vegetation Management

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, APCO plans to manage vegetation along the Loudendale-Davis Creek portion of its 12 kilovolt distribution system in Kanawha County, WV.  On or about August 17th, 2020 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:  Kanawha State Forest Rd., Davis Creek, Middle fork, Bays Br., Kessinger Dr., Short Cr., Long Br. Middle Ridge, Clark Rd., Garden Hts., and Berry Hills Dr.

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:
