传输植被管理
The electric highway that transmits electricity across long distances is comprised of transmission lines. 通过综合植被管理计划, 我们维持的植被超过12个,500英里又150英里,全州000英亩的运输地役权. Our maintenance activities are necessary to provide reliable and economical service to all customers.
割草
We clear vegetation and redefine the easement width with heavy-duty power equipment. 附近的植被结构, 长绳, 栅栏, streams or other difficult-to-access areas may be cut using hand tools. 我们通常每六年割一次草. A combination of mowing and herbicide is used to manage fast-growing, tall, woody species. This cycle is a best practice and also the most economical method to ensure a safe and reliable electric system. Our integrated vegetation management approach helps to promote and establish a stable, 多样化的, 道路右侧的低矮植物群落, which reduces the potential for soil erosion and is also extremely beneficial for wildlife.
If you are the property owner, you may mow the right-of-way more often if you wish. 然而, if you wish to mow the right-of-way more often but do not own the property, 你必须先得到土地所有人的许可.
危险的树切割
“危险的树”是地役权上的死树, 死亡, diseased or severely leaning that could damage the transmission facilities when falling. 至少一年一次, all transmission lines are patrolled by air and by ground to locate dangerous trees so that they may be removed safely.
树删除
我们把不相容的树木从地役区移走. These are trees or other types of vegetation which grow too tall to remain on the right-of-way, 并可能威胁到持续的安全, 输电线路运行可靠. Sometimes these incompatible trees were planted by property owners. 不幸的是, they must be removed along with any incompatible trees which may have seeded in naturally.
一般, 灌木, 菜园, grasses and low-growing trees with a mature height of less than 15 feet are allowed on the easement area as long as they do not block or restrict access to the area, and are not planted in a location that could threaten the continued safe, 输电线路运行可靠.

在地役地内种植
Georgia Power has determined specific trees and ornamentals acceptable for planting within the easement. In order to qualify for consideration, these trees must be planted in a landscaped area. This area shall be maintained by the property owner in such a fashion that it is obvious to all that it is a landscaped area. If any trees are planted in an area where right-of-way crews could mistake it for "brush,“它可能会被削减.

除草剂的应用程序
Crews using low-volume backpack sprayers apply herbicides to selectively remove incompatible tall-growing species. 只使用不受限制的除草剂, and the application crews are trained to identify and target the tall and fast-growing incompatible species on the right-of-way.
修剪
We remove limbs from trees off the easement area that are growing into the easement space. 修剪 may be done by crews utilizing mechanical tree trimming equipment, 空中升降卡车或攀登人员手动. 修剪周期从2年到15年不等.
