Finding
Bucks and Lehigh County
[36 Pa.B. 5834]
[Saturday, September 16, 2006]Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration (Deputy Secretary) makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation (Department) plans to widen existing SR 0309, Section 06S, from the Bucks/Lehigh County Line to Fairmont Street in the Borough of Coopersburg, Lehigh County. The project will use land from a portion of the National Register-listed Coopersburg Historic District.
Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize harm. Historically sensitive landscaping will be planted to replace the mature trees and shrubbery impacted by the project. Up to four Pennsylvania Historical Markers will be placed at major intersections within the Coopersburg Historic District, and educational materials about the history of the Coopersburg Historic District will be developed. Also, coordination with consulting parties and the public will continue throughout final design and construction of the project.
The Deputy Secretary 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.
No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from this project.
RICHARD H. HOGG, P. E.,
Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration
