According to a post from Toms River Township Government don't be alarmed if you see low flying helicopters in the area.

JCP&L stated that for approximately six weeks, helicopters operated by Chesapeake Bay Helicopters will be performing comprehensive visual inspection of JCPL 500kv and 230kv lines.

These inspections are expected to take approximately six weeks to complete, however, any storm or outage-related patrols could prolong completion.

A comprehensive visual inspection (CVI) is a slow, structure-by-structure, span-by-span inspection where the inspector onboard the helicopter gets a thorough look from top to bottom of each structure, associated hardware, and conductors of the transmission line(s).

The helicopter will be moving very slowly along each of the transmission lines and will often be seen hovering while carrying out these inspections.
