Finding

Crawford County

[38 Pa.B. 5507]
[Saturday, October 4, 2008]

   Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Director of the Bureau of Design as delegated 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 the Venango Veterans Memorial Bridge and make improvements to Walters and Sherred Hill Roads in Venango Borough and Cambridge Township, Crawford County.

   The project will require the use of the Venango Veterans Memorial Bridge, which is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and qualifies as section 4(f)/section 2002 resource.

   An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to evaluate the potential environmental impacts caused by the subject project. The FHWA issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the subject project on August 27, 2008. The FONSI determined that the preferred alternative (Alternative 6 Modified) will have no significant impact on the human environment.

   The EA and supporting documentation find there is no practicable alternative to construction of the preferred alternative, and the proposed action includes all practicable measures to minimize harm to the environment that may result from the proposed project.

   Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize harm as stipulated in the EA and the Programmatic section 4(f) Evaluation.

   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 prudent alternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize the effects.

Director, Bureau of Design
