[53 Pa.B. 1601]
[Saturday, March 18, 2023]Under section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P.S. § 512) establishing the Department of Transportation (Department), the Director of the Bureau of Design and Delivery, as delegated by the Secretary of Transportation, makes the following written finding:
The build alternative is the preferred alternative for the SR 0083, Section 079 widening and reconstruction project in Dauphin County. The project limits include portions of Paxtang Borough, Swatara Township and the City of Harrisburg in Dauphin County. The project begins on SR 0083, Section 079, from just west of Cameron Street (SR 0230) to just east of 29th Street (SR 3013).
Improvements include widening and full reconstruction of the SR 0083, Section 079, from just west of Cameron Street (SR 0230) to just east of 29th Street (SR 3013). The Interstate facility will consist of 6 mainline through lanes (3 in each direction) and a 2-lane collector-distributor (CD) road with ramp lanes providing access for local traffic at the interchanges. The CD road will extend from immediately east of the 19th Street interchange to Cameron Street. Access to SR 0083, Section 079 will be provided by means of the Cameron Street, 17th Street and 19th Street interchanges. Improvements to these interchanges include: a new full interchange construction at Cameron Street (SR 0230) and removal of the existing 13th Street interchange; reconstruction of the existing partial interchange at 17th Street serving southbound traffic; and reconstruction of the existing partial interchange at 19th Street serving northbound traffic.
The Environmental Assessment (EA) and EA Comment Responses have been evaluated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and were determined to discuss adequately and accurately the needs, environmental issues and impacts of the proposed project and mitigation measures that will be taken to minimize harm as stipulated in the EA. Based on the EA, the FHWA has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact for the project. Furthermore, the Bureau of Design and Delivery has concluded that all State environmental evaluation requirements, as published in section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929, have been satisfied.
Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize harm as stipulated in the EA. No significant environmental impact is likely to result from the proposed action.
