NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS: Bridge-Rt. 60 East Vegetation Management

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Bridge-Rt. 60 East portion of its 12 kilovolt distribution system in Kanawha County, WV.  On or about May 4th, 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:  Basalt Dr., Campbells Creek Dr., Carter Dr., Cooks Hollow Rd., Dry Branch Dr., East Point Dr., Ferrell Hollow Rd., Gap View Dr., Hill Dr., Hope Ln., Kanawha Dr., Lona Ln., Nunley Hollow Rd., Pleasant Ln., Skiles Brown Hollow Rd., Skyline Dr., Snowhill Dr., Sparks Ln., Springfield Dr., Springfork Dr, US Rt. 60, Valley Grove Rd., Washington Heights, Washington St. E., Weir Dr., and Younger 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:
