Finding

Montgomery County

[28 Pa.B. 857]

   Pursuant to the provisions of 71 P. S. Section 2002(b), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:

   The Department of Transportation plans to rehabilitate S. R. 0029, Gravel Pike, between the Village of Rahns and the Borough of Schwenksville in Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County. The project involves reconstructing the existing roadway, constructing paved shoulders, milling the existing roadway surface and overlaying the roadway and shoulders. The project also involves replacing a box culvert and signalizing the intersection of S. R. 0029 and S. R. 0073 near Schwenksville Borough. Guide rail and drainage updates will also be included. This project will require the acquisition of strip right-of-way from the Paul Naxes House in the Rahns Historic District and from the National Register Eligible Ott's Greenhouse. The effect of this project on the Paul Naxes House and the Ott's Greenhouse Properties will be mitigated by the following measures to minimize harm to the resources.

   1.  All roadway work will remain in the already disturbed berm adjacent to the historic properties.

   2.  All existing features such as walls and fences will remain undisturbed except for the relocation of approximately 10 feet of a wooden fence in front of the Paul Naxes House in the Village of Rahns.

   3.  Where appropriate, a concrete curb will be placed on the roadway side of the stone walls in order to protect them.

   4.  Guide rail will be placed in-situ in some areas with minor extensions in other areas.

   5.  All disturbed vegetation will be restored upon completion of construction.

   I have considered the environmental, economic, social, and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in Section 2002 of the Administrative Code, and have concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize such effect.

   No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the restoration of this highway.
