Finding
Bedford County
[34 Pa.B. 2761] Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation plans to improve the existing intersection of SR 56 with SR 4032 (Fish Hatchery Road) and T-559 (Presnell Road) in East Saint Clair Township, Bedford County. The proposed project consists of the realignment of SR 4032 and T-559 with SR 56, the addition of left turn lanes on SR 56 and shoulder widening to improve this intersection to current design standards. This project will require the acquisition of approximately 0.01 acre from the Reynoldsdale Fish Hatchery and 0.08 acre from the Spring Meadow Farm. Both of these resources are along SR 4032 and have been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Information describing the project together with the associated environmental analysis is contained in the Level 2 Categorical Exclusion Evaluation (CEE)/Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation that was prepared for this project. The Federal Highway Administration approved the Level 2 CEE/Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for this project on April 9, 2004.
Based upon studies, there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the acquisition of approximately 0.01 acre from the Reynoldsdale Fish Hatchery and 0.08 acre from the Spring Meadows Farm.
The environmental, economic, social and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 have been considered, and it has been concluded that all reasonable planning was completed to avoid, minimize or mitigate for the environmental effects that are likely to result from the improvement of this section of highway.
