Powerline Herbicide Treatment

New Hampshire Electric Co-op and its contractor consultant, Vegetation Control Services, intend to selectively apply herbicides to undesirable vegetation growing within power line rights of way corridors in the town of Orange. The treatments will begin in early September. Maps showing the corridors are posted on the outside bulletin board of the Town House.

In accordance with State Regulations, it is the duty of each landowner or resident to make Vegetation Control Services aware of the location of potentially affected private water supplies and any other environmentally sensitive areas where herbicide application should be further restricted.

You can download a form telling of areas where herbicide use should be restricted. Just click here. Or call Brian Johnson at Vegetation Control Services during office hours: 731-9325.
