Fishing Access to Change at PPL’s Brunner Island
Because fishing is a popular activity around PPL’s Brunner Island power plant, PPL would like to make you aware of changes to public access areas to the Susquehanna River.
For safety reasons, now that construction of a cooling tower for the power plant has begun, public access for fishing no longer will be allowed at the upper end of the discharge channel and on the east side of the discharge channel in the area of the Susquehanna Aquacultures fish farm.
Access to several popular fishing spots along the Susquehanna River and the lower end of the plant discharge channel still is permitted seven days a week, from dawn to dusk. The cooling tower project will help reduce river water temperature at times of the year when reductions will have the greatest benefits for fish and aquatic life.
When construction is completed in 2010, PPL will move the plant security fence several hundred yards to the south so that the cooling tower and nearby water treatment facilities will be inside the fence, permanently restricting public access to those fishing areas.
