Finding
[30 Pa.B. 6016]
Somerset County Pursuant to the provisions of 71 P. S. § 2002(b), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation plans to replace the existing bridge carrying SR 523 over the Casselman River in Lower Turkeyfoot and Addison Townships, Somerset County. This project will require the acquisition of 0.4 ha(1.05 acre) from the 45.2 ha(111.6 acre) Hanna Farmstead and the demolition of a two story agricultural storage building that is considered a contributing structure to the National Register eligible Hanna Farmstead.
Information describing the project, together with the associated environmental analysis, is contained in the Categorical Exclusion Evaluation/Section 2002 Evaluation that was prepared for this project.
Based upon studies, there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the use of property from the National Register eligible Hanna Farmstead.
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 effects.
No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the reconstruction of this section of highway.
BRADLEY L. MALLORY,
Secretary
