<div dir="ltr">John,<div>Thanks for sharing. I have attached an IVM White Paper that was developed with input from USFWS and habitat restoration examples we have directed for electric, natural gas and highway ROW with documentation of the benefits of IVM best practices. We have ongoing case studies with Duke Energy in Durham and Greensboro, NC so perhaps we can arrange a field tour this year especially in Durham which is nearby to you.</div><div>Rick</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Jan 13, 2019 at 10:21 PM Randall, John L <<a href="mailto:jrandall@email.unc.edu">jrandall@email.unc.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks. It’s an interesting concept. You’re absolutely right that rights of way do present good habitat, that is usually neglected. I just hope they’re not white washing (green washing?) and protecting utility companies and Bayer. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Yes and my sense has been that the group is heavily oriented toward right-of-way issues and thus lots of utilities representation. My personal opinion is that the utility right-of-ways represent important actual or potential habitat and
the IVM folks seem to be doing some constructive work to balance the utilities' needs with environmental/sustainability considerations. I would rather see a utility subscribing to IVM than doing some of the slapdash work I was seeing twenty years ago by an
unnamed local utility, where they were taking a bad problem and making it worse through poor practices. (Incidentally I believe they have gotten on board with IVM and shown considerable improvement.) Cheers, Steve Young, Arlington VA<u></u><u></u></p>
