CEC to conduct vegetation management along North Pine Street in Sisters later this spring

SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Later this spring on the Sisters Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest, vegetation management will be occurring on approximately 3.5 miles of existing powerline along North Pine Street.

Central Electric Cooperative is authorized to manage trees and vegetation within and adjacent to the powerline right of way on National Forest lands. Minimum clearance standards are set by the National Electrical Safety Code and Public Utility Commission.

CEC is completing this ongoing maintenance to ensure reliable electricity to the greater Sisters area. Additionally, ROW clearing can mitigate sources of wildfire ignition and improve CEC worker safety.
