IMPORTANT!!! PUBLIC COMMENT & REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING PAD500034 - PPL Electric Utilities - JUNI-NEBU 500 kV Project


Watts, Wheatfield & Centre Townships, Perry County


DEP Individual NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit | Public notice: September 19, 2026. Comments must be submitted by October 19th.


This permit pertains to Watts-Centre & Wheatfield Townships


We must word the comment sheet this way because the DEP has a discrepancy regarding this permit number.


DEP describes PAD500034 as an “overhead fiber utility upgrade and associated site restoration,” yet the permit is titled “JUNI-NEBU 500 kV Project,” covers 378.4 acres across Watts, Wheatfield and Centre Townships, and affects Little Juniata Creek, Dark Run—which DEP identifies as HQ-CWF—Craig Run, the Juniata River and other tributaries.


The permit also contains restrictions for three bat species, trout, Northeastern Bulrush and Eastern Hellbender.


We can use this form to send the comments out to them.
