[42 Pa.B. 7787]
[Saturday, December 22, 2012]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 Department of Transportation (Department) is planning to replace the Woolen Mill Bridge, which carries Township Route 372 over Lake Creek in Cooperstown Borough, Venango County.
The proposed project will require a use of approximately 0.03 acre from each of two Borough owned parks, Alumni Park and Mitchel Field. The proposed project will also require the use of the Woolen Mill Bridge, which is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
In accordance with section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 establishing the Department, an Environmental Document has been developed for this project. In addition, a ''Determination of Section 4(f) De Minimis Use, Section 2002 No Adverse Use'' document and a ''Nationwide/Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for Projects that Necessitate the Use of Historic Bridges'' document have been developed to evaluate the potential environmental impacts caused by the subject project. The Section 4(f) documents also serve as the Section 2002 Evaluation. The approved documents are available in the CE/EA Expert System.
Based upon studies, there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the proposed action. Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize harm as stipulated in the Environmental Document and the Section 4(f)/Section 2002 documents.
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 the effects.
