Jersey Central Power & Light will be conducting
our Annual Vegetation Management Aerial Patrol. Vegetation Management Aerial
inspections are scheduled during the April through September time frame on an
annual basis and cover all transmission facilities system-wide. Patrols consist
of a Forestry Specialist that accompanies the pilot to identify effectiveness
of prior year’s herbicide application and identification of any conditions
warranting further inspection from the ground and or corrective action.
Please be advised that Haverfield will be the
helicopter company assisting in the inspections on all JCP&L Transmission
Lines, beginning May 20th and 21st, weather
permitting.
The pilot will be in communication with any local
airports, when in their airspace. The helicopter will be flying at a speed of
about 35-40 mph above or alongside the lines and may circle around for a closer
inspection.
The helicopter is black with tail number “N371EE”
