Re: Vegetation Maintenance Program

This letter is to inform you that Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) is scheduled to complete vegetation control activities in the proximity of the transmission lines that run adjacent to your property in 2021. This service is restricted to hydro tower line maintenance only. Vegetation management is necessary to ensure that minimum clearances are maintained between vegetation and energized apparatus reducing potential public safety hazards and tree-caused outages.

Hydro One uses an integrated approach to vegetation management that may include one or all of the following techniques: • Removal of any dead or hazardous trees and pruning of branches away from power lines

along the sides and underneath the hydro right-of-way.

• Removal of non-compatible vegetation throughout the entire Hydro One corridor.

• Mechanical cutters or grubbing machines used for brush removal depending on terrain and brush density. • Low volume backpack herbicide application of all non-compatible standing brush located on the hydro right-of-way. Compatible species such as Sumac, Dogwood, Lilac, etc, will be carefully avoided where possible. • Low volume backpack herbicide application utilized to control the suckering of incompatible brush that could grow from the stumps of cut trees or where brush has been removed. Cut stumps are treated with Garlon RTU (Registration #29334) and mineral oil which is a federally and provincially accepted herbicide used in .

Hydro One Staff are trained and experienced in the latest arboricultural practices and herbicide applicators are licensed by the Ministry of the Environment.

If you have any questions regarding the planned work or would like to arrange a site meet, please contact Edward Jones at 705 872-1019 to make arrangements. In addition, please confirm receipt of this notification letter.

Thank you for your co-operation as we complete this important work.

Sincerely,
