NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS – manage vegetation

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

 To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Dalewood – Doc Bailey portion of its 12 kilovolt distribution system in Kanawha County, WV.  On or around January 1st 2022, contract crews will begin to trim and remove trees and brush and apply herbicides where applicable 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 Waycross Dr., Doc Bailey Rd., Harmons Creek Rd., Poca River Rd. North and South, and some immediately adjacent  or connecting streets.

 

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:
