<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">PEI still has mainly overhead power lines with few buried underground. With increased intense storms and power outages, our local utility is working to increase tree clearances around power lines.
Communication delivered across the province from the electrical utility company requests that all trees be planted 45ft from overhead power lines. They are also working to increase clearances of existing trees/natural areas near lines. In urban areas, tree
removals even 1/3 of the distance above would be detrimental to our already shrinking tree canopy.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Can anyone in this group speak to or share your bylaws or regulations for municipally owned tree protection, clearances, pruning, removals, planting near overhead utilities (in an urban setting)?
Also, any input on ensuring occupational health and safety considerations for utility workers and how that relates to proximity of trees to the lines would be welcomed as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
