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 Poplar Fork-Scott Lane portion of its 12 kV Distribution system in Putnam County, WV.  On or about April 1, 2022 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:  Valley View Drive, White Cedar Drive, Cedar Drive, Spruce Drive, Red Cedar Drive, Hamon Drive, Scott Lane, Windmere Drive, Joyce Road, Silverleaf Lane, Scott Acres, Village Drive, Valley Bend, Summerset Drive, Wesley Lane, Timberlake Drive, Timberlake Circle, and Hidden Cove.

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:
