Vegetation Management on Electric Transmission Rights-Of-Way

Jersey Central Power & Light Company (JCP&L) has contracted professional tree care companies for the purpose of conducting vegetation management on electric transmission rights-of-way in parts of Burlington County. JCP&L will be performing vegetation maintenance by removing and pruning trees, mowing vegetation, selectively applying herbicides and manually controlling tall growing incompatible trees that can cause power outages or inhibit access or inspection within the transmission rights-of-way. The goal of vegetation treatments is to promote low growing compatible vegetation which is consistent with safe and reliable operation of the electric facilities and can improve wildlife habitat for native species. Both the selection of the herbicide and the application method are specified by JCP&L. The herbicides are registered and approved for this use by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Vegetation management will be performed on electric line rights-of-way commencing 7 - 45 days from the date of publication of this notice. Prior to commencing vegetation maintenance, JCP&L will also provide an additional notice to municipalities, and to customers and property owners residing on the property scheduled for vegetation maintenance. Requests for additional information should be directed to: Jersey Central Power & Light Company, 300 Madison Ave. Morristown, NJ 07962-1911, 1-800-662-3115. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time
