(a) The purpose of this pilot program is to implement and evaluate the New Jersey Pinelands Electric Transmission Right-of-Way Maintenance Plan (ROW Plan), which is hereby adopted by the Pinelands Commission. The ROW Plan identifies detailed vegetation management prescriptions for approximately 233 miles of existing electric transmission rights-of-way managed by Public Service Enterprise Group, Jersey Central Power and Light and Atlantic City Electric, a subsidiary of Pepco Holdings, Inc.
(b) The ROW Plan has two primary objectives:
1. To create and maintain relatively stable and sustainable early successional habitats that are characteristic of the Pinelands and which provide habitat for native Pinelands plants and animals, including threatened and endangered species; and
2. To ensure the reliability and safety of the electric transmission system in the Pinelands by creating and maintaining low growth vegetation communities.
