To All Concerned:

Despite our efforts, PSE&G will be conducting tree removal activity on 5 spans
within Bridgewater Township starting on Monday June 9, 2008.  We have met with
BPU and PSE&G to postpone this activity so that the new rules could be
considered and our request was denied.  Mayor Flannery has contacted BPU
President Jeanne Fox to protest this clear cutting activity.  Unfortunately BPU
will allow PSE&G to proceed to remove all non-ornamental trees from the border
zone in the right of way.  If you have any questions regarding a specific tree
you should contact PSE&G representative Brian Hartel at 732-809-7781.  If there
is any question as to whether a tree may remain please take pictures to document
for future responsibility on the part of the utility.  Mr. Hartel will have
copies of the notice of interim rules which BPU indicates has granted the
utility permission to proceed.  For your reference I have attached said rules to
this email. 

Sincerely,
James T. Naples
Township Administrator
