Near Overhead Infrastructure

A tree shall be placed so that at maturity it is no closer than 2.0m to a Hydro Hawkesbury distribution pole. When a tree is to be placed within 5.0m of either side of an overhead pole line, the selected tree species shall at maturity be shorter than the lowest of either six meters or the distance to the lowest overhead communications or current carrying conductor, subject to Canadian Standard Association CSA C22.3 and the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
