ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

   Southeast Regional Office: Program Manager, Water Management Program, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

   EA09-004SE and EA46-001SE.  Environmental Assessment. Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, District 6-0, 200 Radnor-Chester Road, St. Davids, PA 19087. The Department is granting conditional approval of the Environmental Assessment for a proposal to construct and maintain a limited access expressway, beginning at a point just south of S. R. Route 63 (Ambler, PA USGS Quadrangle N: 16.5 inches; W: 17.2 inches) and ending at an interchange with S. R. Route 611 (Doylestown, PA USGS Quadrangle N: 7.9 inches; W: 1.9 inches). This expressway will run essentially parallel to a section (Section 700) of the existing U. S. Route 202, and will impact a reported 6,500 linear feet of watercourse and 16 acres of wetland. The impacted water resources are located within the West Branch Neshaminy Creek (WWF, MF), Mill Creek (TSF, MF), Little Neshaminy Creek (WWF, MF) and Neshaminy Creek (TSF, MF) watersheds. The expressway will be located through portions of the Townships of Lower Gwynedd, Upper Gwynedd and Montgomery within Montgomery County, and the Townships of Doylestown and Warrington within Bucks County. PennDOT will be developing a mitigation plan to compensate for the proposed impacts to wetlands and watercourses.
