Vegetation Management: Two Emerging Issues Impact Utility Rights-of-Way

0

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) have each made recent announcements that may impact how electric utilities manage vegetation on their rights-of-way.

Please download TRC’s latest Regulatory Update to learn more about:

  • NERC’s process and schedule for implementing clearance increases for vegetation management standard FAC-003-3;
  • FWS’s plans and processes for conserving the monarch butterfly species including managing utility rights-of-way to support monarch habitat; and
  • How to address both sets of requirements.

A key requirement of any compliance program is to be prepared to address changing regulatory requirements across your system. This combined developing regulatory situation will go into effect in the next several vegetation management cycles. It may be possible for utilities to economically address both sets of requirements with a single program.
