Herbicide Area Notice – Summer 2023
A notice of areas set for herbicide in Summer 2023 was announced in the May 2023 issue of Cooperative Living magazine. This notice was to notify you that a BARC Electric contractor will be applying herbicide to BARC ROWs in certain areas this summer through fall.
These areas are Warm Springs, Brattons Run, Effinger to Big Hill and Conrock.
This application is specifically utilized to target woody plants and is applied using backpack sprayers and ATV sprayers (with permission) with low volume applicators. The herbicide application process is not a wall to wall, kill everything application and its use is intended to reduce unwanted brush in the ROWs so that plants and grasses can grow to benefit the environment and reduce the number of power outages and their duration.
