York Haven Power Company, LLC (YHPC), began construction of a nature-like fishway (NLF) on the southwest bank of Three Mile Island in August 2024, and construction is continuing through 2025. The purpose of the NLF is to improve fish passage and connectivity in the Susquehanna River. This involves some construction noise. As required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), we are restricting construction to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. We hope you will please excuse any noise, as it is part of an exciting project to improve the environment through better fish passage on the Susquehanna River.
