NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Belle-Rand portion of its 12-kilovolt distribution system in Kanawha County, WV. On or about March 16, 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 to minimize soil disturbance and to promote biodegradation. Rights-of-way in this area involved in the program are: Beginning at the substation near the intersection of W. 14th St., and W. Dupont Ave., continuing north throughout the communities of Dupont City, Rand, and Malden, including Burning Springs Rd., Mountain View Dr., Georges Dr., Hawes Dr., and Thunderbird Dr., ending at a point just north of the intersection of Malden Dr., and Cloverleaf Circle. 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 P.O. Box 1986 Charleston, WV 25327 304-746-2791 LC-90225 03-19;2020
