Finding
Fayette County
[37 Pa.B. 6723]
[Saturday, December 15, 2007]Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 572(b)), the Acting Director of the Bureau of Design makes the following written finding:
The Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Transportation are planning to rehabilitate the Memorial Bridge, which carries SR 119 over the Norfolk Southern Railroad and the Youghiogheny River, and to replace a nearby second bridge that carries SR 119 over Sixth Street (city road). Both bridges are located in the City of Connellsville, Fayette County.
Information describing the project, together with the associated environmental analysis, is contained in the Categorical Exclusion Evaluation/Section 2002 Evaluation that was prepared for this project.
The Youghiogheny River Park is a section 4(f)/section 2002 resource. The drainage easement that is needed from the resource to convey stormwater from the Memorial Bridge to the Youghiogheny River will constitute a use of the section 4(f)/section 2002 resource. Based upon studies, there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the proposed action.
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 such effects.
