FAQs - Clearing Right-of-Way
When will Georgia Power begin surveying and clearing the right-of-way for the pipeline?
Surveying began October 27, 2008 in Union City and proceeded along the 19-mile pipeline route to Plant McDonough. Georgia Power contractors began clearing vegetation and trimming trees along the pipeline route in November 2008. This work continued through April of 2009.
How will vegetation on the right-of-way floor be maintained?
Georgia Power will mow the right-of-way annually. Herbicides, like those used by homeowners, will be applied every three years with low-volume backpack sprayers. Herbicide crews are trained to target fast-growing plant species that have a potential mature height greater than 15 feet.
