Finding

Bedford County

[30 Pa.B. 960]

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

   The Department of Transportation plans to reconstruct and widen existing SR 30 in Bedford Township and Snake Springs Township, Bedford County. The reconstruction and widening of SR 30 would include a five-lane widening upgrade of existing SR 30 with three alignment shifts, rehabilitation of the existing Narrows Bridge (that carries SR 30 over the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River) and the construction of an adjacent bridge, realignment of SR 326, and improvements for access to Riverview Road (T-477). Two of the alignment shifts are to minimize impacts to National Register of Historic Places listed or eligible resources: the Difibaugh Tavern and the Hartley Farm (Mount Dallas). The third alignment shift is to avoid impacts to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Bedford Hospital and the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks while providing roadway grades that meet design criteria.

   Information describing the project together with the associated environmental analysis is contained in the Environmental Assessment (EA)/Final Section 4(f) Evaluation that was prepared for this project.

   Based upon studies, there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the use of property from several Section 4(f)/Section 2002 resources located in the project area.

   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 reconstruct and widening of this roadway.

Secretary
