NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS – Vegetation management

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

To maintain necessary clearances for safe and reliable electric service, Appalachian Power Company plans to manage vegetation along the Ripley/Kenna South #2257203 portions of its 34 kilovolt distribution systems in Jackson County, WV. On or after April 4th, 2022, crews will begin applying herbicide to right of ways to control incompatible woody vegetation. This will encourage the growth of native low growing plants like grasses, ferns, forbs, and shrubs. Converting the right of way from brush and trees to native low growing plant community improves wildlife habitat. A low growing plant cover is more resistant to tree invasion which means less work will be needed in the future, reducing the impact on your property and the environment.

AEP/APCO’s contractors are licensed applicators and will use herbicides that are registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and your state regulatory agency.

Rights-of-way in this area involved in the program are: Sycamore Drive, Route 21, Bibbee Ridge Road,Cedar Lakes Drive, Parchment Valley Road, Angel Ridge Road, Spruce Run Road, Coleman Branch Road, Grass Lick Road, Charleston Roan, Southall Ridge, Buffalo Lick Run Road, Shamblin Run Road, Fayes Valley Road, Zion Ridge, Hall Run, Statts Mill Road, Limber Ridge Road, Price Ridge, Laurel Fork, Aplin Ridge, Billys Run, Elk Fork Road,Grand Central Ave, Spencer Road, Mill Creek Road, Morrison Ridge Road,Cain Ridge Road, Rotenberry Lane, Belgrove Road, Plum Orchard Road
