Finding

Bucks County

[35 Pa.B. 2831]

   Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration makes the following written finding:

   The Department of Transportation (Department) plans to replace the SR 0032 Section 68S Bridge over the Delaware Canal in Upper Makefield Township, Bucks County. The subject project will result in the permanent acquisition of 0.008 hectare (0.020 acre) of land from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Delaware Canal. Temporary occupancies will also be required in the Delaware Canal.

   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. It has been concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize effects. To minimize the harm to the Section 2002 protected property impacted by the project, aesthetic treatments such as the installation of a decorative pony truss and formlined/stone veneer abutments will be incorporated in the design to preserve the historic character of the project area. The PA Type 10M Bridge Barrier will be utilized in lieu of concrete parapets resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance without compromising bridge barrier requirements.

   The Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration has considered the environmental, economic, social and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 and has concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize effects.

GARY L. HOFFMAN, P. E.,   
Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration
