DES offers a spray opt-out option for special situations where the property owner commits to take a more personal investment and, if approved, agrees to maintain the right-of-way according to the required distance. Beginning June 29th, the areas that will be affected during this cycle will be in the City of Dickson and White Bluff. Spraying of safe, nontoxic, industry-standard herbicide application is conducted along specific cycles during summer months. To keep your lights on, your homes comfortable, and the public and our workers safe, DES utilizes a balanced vegetation program of routine and emergency trimming/removal of trees, limbs, and brush as well as safe, nontoxic herbicide application under and around our lines, poles, and equipment.

(October 11, 2022) - UPDATE: DES is NOT currently conducting any herbicide application anywhere along our service territory. VEGETATION MANAGEMENT: Why it Matters to YOU.
