Northfield and ComEd Reach Agreement on Renewing ROW
Following a meeting on September 1, ComEd representatives and Village officials agreed on a plan to deal with the area sprayed with herbicide that killed the existing vegetation along the corridor that runs through the center of the community.
Included in ComEd's plans, they agreed to the following:
--ComEd will begin mowing along the corridor that was sprayed with herbicide and plant native wildflowers and prairie grass that will benefit the habitat.
--While ComEd is obligated to trim trees adjacent to and remove tall growing trees in the transmission corridor, they will conduct a tree inventory and work with the Village to keep as many trees as possible in the Village Center area.
--ComEd agreed to provide advance notice to municipalities of any upcoming vegetation management along their high-voltage transmission (high wires) corridor.
--ComEd will continue to provide advance notice to municipalities on vegetation management along distribution (lower) lines.
