Finding

Bradford county

[38 Pa.B. 4592]
[Saturday, August 16, 2008]

   Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 575(b)), the Director of the Bureau of Design, as designated by the Secretary of Transportation, makes the following written finding:

   The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Department of Transportation (Department) are planning to remove and replace the existing bridge carrying SR 2010 over the former Lehigh Valley Railroad (now owned and operated by Norfolk Southern Railroad) along with associated roadway work, in Wyalusing Township, Bradford County. This project will require right-of-way from both the National Register of Historic Places-eligible former Lehigh Valley Railroad and the National Register of Historic Places-listed Ellen and Charles F. Welles property.

   The subject project is considered a Level 2 Categorical Exclusion in accordance with 23 CFR Part 771.117 (relating to categorical exclusions) as published in the August 28, 1987, Federal Register.

   Both the former Lehigh Valley Railroad property and the Welles property are section 2002/section 4(f) resources. Impact to each resource will constitute a use of the section 2002/section 4(f) 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 have been considered. It has been concluded that there is no feasible and prudentalternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize harm to section 2002 resource.

Director, Bureau of Design
