Finding

Chester County

[35 Pa.B. 5587]

   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 (Department) plans to replace the SR 3049, Section 48M Bridge over a tributary to the West Branch of Brandywine Creek in Newlin Township, Chester County. The subject project will result in the permanent acquisition of 0.014 hectare (0.034 acre) of land from the Powell Property and 0.013 hectare (0.033 acre) from the Passmore Property. Both the Passmore Property and Powell Property contribute to the National Register Eligible Green Valley Historic District. Temporary construction easements will also be needed in the Green Valley Historic District.

   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, the replacement bridge abutments and wingwalls will be constructed with an architectural stone form liner and color to provide the appearance of stone facing.

   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 the effect.

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