Hunting restrictions around the Holtwood hydroelectric plant will continue, due to ongoing construction work.

The restrictions will be in place for the duration of the 2012-13 hunting season.

"For public safety reasons, we have decided to restrict hunting around our Holtwood facility," said John M. Levitski, PPL's regional community relations director for the Lancaster area. "We apologize for any inconvenience to our neighbors and visitors. We would also like to thank the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the hunters in our community for their support and understanding."
