There are over 40 Electrical Utility providers in Ontario. Consistency will be problematic.

Hi Shelly. Our arrangment is still quite dynamic. We have maintained a good working relationship with utility. Brampton Hydro gets us to safe limits of approach. Sometimes they go above and beyond (full removal). We are responsible for everything else.
Hope this is helpful,
John H.
Forestry Foreperson.

Subject: [CANUFNET] Hydro removals and stumping

Hello,
We are interested to find out what process other municipalities follow regarding stumping and hydro tree removals.  If the hydro utility in your city is responsible for removing trees from under wires (when they cannot be successfully trimmed), does your municipal urban forestry department foot the bill for stump grinding or does the utility complete the entire job at their own cost? Thanks.

Shelley:

In Guelph, this rarely arises. I believe it?s because Guelph Forestry staff remove trees before they get so sketchy that Guelph Hydro would request their removal. When it does arise, the situation is the same as John described in Brampton.

Hydro tree removals are the responsibility of NB power in moncton NB, it may be different in other jurisdictions.  We work closely with them in prioritizing areas on a rotation basis to keep crisis at a minimum but this is hard with limited resources and budgets although this year another 1.5 million has been put into tree removal due to affects of hurricane Arthur this fall hitting Fredericton NB (our capital) especially hard.

Shelly and Al. 
I don't think utilities are consistent enough from jurisdiction to jurisdiction not only to do with removals and replacement but all things related to our Urban Forestry goals and canopy objectives. If you belong to a local Intermunicipal group,  make it an agenda item and at least get consistency at the regional or provincial level.

If the stump is in an area where it will be a problem, then it is up to BC Hydro to remove the stump. There has never been a problem getting them to do this. They also have a replacement program in many cases.
