NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Flatwood/Big Chimney portion of its 34kV distribution system in Kanawha County in WV. On or about March 12th, 2026, 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: Big Chimney, Stoffel Rd., Little Sandy Rd., Coopers Creek Dr., Crestwood Rd., 4 mile Rd., and Bens Fork 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 404 29th St. W. Charleston, WV 25387 304-746-2791 LC-430527 03-12;2026
