What is the regulation on overhead easements from surface application treatments unless permission is granted?

The regulation requiring a distance of 1 foot from overhead easements for surface application treatments is based on the need to ensure safety and minimize interference with any overhead structures. By maintaining this distance, it reduces the risk of chemicals or materials accidentally coming into contact with individuals, equipment, or structures that might be situated within or near the easement zone.

The regulation serves to protect both the applicators and any utilities or property owners who may be working in or around these easements. In situations where permission is granted, different guidelines could be followed, but without explicit permission, adhering to the 1-foot regulation ensures compliance with safety protocols and local regulations governing land usage and chemical applications.
