    Angry Power Line Right of Way

    N.C. property owner, Duke Power has a right of way across my property! first of all when they cleared it they cut trees on the right of way and fell over onto my property about 50 to 60 feet knocking down my trees and left them. they also left the trees down in the right of way and did not clean them up. And now they have been going down my driveway and crossing my property to get to the right of way and rutted my grass up. Question is thats still my property dont they have to clean it up,and can they cross my property that is NOT right of way just because they want to?

    Default Re: Power Line Right of Way

    NC is a common law state. Generally, they would be trespassing if they are outside of the ROW. IMO, I would contact the PD and file a report for trespassing and damage. Then send a copy of the report to the power co. asking for compensation and place them on notice to remain clear of your property.

    Did you try contacting them about the damage and downed trees?
