CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTSCalifornia’s Clearance Requirements
GO 95 Rule 35: California has the most comprehensive UVM regulation in North America
Comments made by utilities with requirements:
• This enhances cycle times.• They are our major negotiating tool for obtaining what is proper clearance.• Clearance requirements set clear expectations and assist with funding requests.

CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTSDo They Work?
Companies Were Asked, “ Could You Achieve 100% Compliance with a Mandatory Clearance Requirement?”

CUSTOMER ISSUESPerceived Customer Disconnect
Commentary by Utilities:
• Customer equates aesthetics with proper tree pruning, not aware of utility best management practices for line clearance.
• Although it is getting better, customer expectations are often not in sync with safety and reliability requirements.

CONCLUSIONMeasuring Progress
• This Graph Only Includes Companies with an Established Hazard Tree Removal Program
• Relatively High Correlation of -0.76 Which Means: The More Trees Removed, The Better The Reliability (In other words: SAIFI is Reduced)

CONCLUSION BMPs and Regulations for Right Tree in The Right Place
1. Clear Concept of Cycle Based Scheduling or a Replacement for Cycle Scheduling.
2. Cost Effective and Standardized Method of Tree Inventory/ Work Load Assessment.
3. Capture and Disseminate Research and Development Results.
4. Address the Customer Complaints Proactively, Recognizing the Political Force of an Insignificant Number of Complaints.
5. Keep Open and Debate the Concept of Mandatory Clearance Distances.
