NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Alloy – Area Distribution portion of its 12 kilovolt distribution system in Fayette County, WV. On or about March 7, 2016 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: US Rt. 60, throughout the communities of Alloy, Boomer, Falls View, and Charlton Heights; Kanawha Falls Rd., Cotton Hill Rd., Boonesborough Rd., and Lee Branch Rd. 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 PO Box 1986 Charleston WV, 25327-1986 304-746-2791 2-29-MON-1-FT; L 160
