Finding

Adams County

[41 Pa.B. 1715]
[Saturday, March 26, 2011]

 Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Director of the Bureau of Project Delivery as delegated by the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:

 The Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Transportation (Department) are planning the replacement of the SR 3008 (Cunningham Road), Section 001, Bridge over Marsh Creek in Cumberland and Freedom Townships, Adams County. The existing Cunningham Road Bridge over Marsh Creek is a three-span, steel truss bridge built in 1894 that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

 The proposed project consists of demolishing the current bridge and constructing a new bridge on an alignment approximately 50 feet south of the existing alignment. The project is needed because the existing structure that carries Cunningham Road over Marsh Creek has been closed since June 2005, does not meet current design criteria and safety standards and is too narrow to pass modern farm equipment. Replacement of the Cunningham Road Bridge over the Marsh Creek will constitute a use of the Section 2002 resource.

 In accordance with section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 establishing the Department, a level-2 Categorical Exclusion Evaluation (CEE) has been developed for the subject project along with a Nationwide/Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for Projects that Necessitate the Use of Historic Bridges form to evaluate the potential environmental impacts caused by the subject project. The document also serves as the Section 2002 Evaluation. The approved documents are available in the CE/EA Expert System.

 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. Based upon studies, there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of the section 2002 resource for the proposed action. Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize harm as stipulated in the Level-2 CEE.
