Notice to customers
To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Clendenin – Elk River portion of its 34 kilovolt distribution system in Kanawha and Jackson County, WV. On or about January 1, 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: The town of Clendenin, Elk River Rd. North and South, Queen Shoals Rd. Camp Creek Rd., Reamer Rd., Leatherwood Rd., Kelly Hill Rd and Addition, and all line tap extensions from the each of the aforementioned roads on this circuit.
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:
