Finding

[26 Pa.B. 2056]

Chester and Montgomery Counties

   Under the provisions of section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:

   The Department of Transportation plans to improve S. R. 0202, Section 400, in Chester and Montgomery Counties. The proposed improvements consist of a combination of widening of S. R. 0202 and other additions and alterations to S. R. 0202 covering 5.4 miles from the King of Prussia Interchange (U. S. 202/I-76) in Montgomery County to the Swedesford Road Interchange with S. R. 0202 in Chester County. Other modifications and alterations are also proposed for the local roadway network. The purpose of the project is to improve traffic flow, operations and safety by reducing congestion and improving levels of service of the highway facilities involved.

   Besides the acquisition of 28.72 acres of private land for the project right-of-way, the project involves the King of Prussia Inn which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) has been executed among the Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, the Historical and Museum Commission, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to mitigate the project impacts on the King of Prussia Inn. Relocation of the King of Prussia Inn to a new site or stabilizing the Inn's condition on site are the proposed measures to mitigate the adverse effect, as well as supplemental recordation of existing historical documentation.

   On April 2, 1996, the following written findings were made:

   1.  There is no feasible and prudent alternative that could avoid the adverse project impact on the King of Prussia Inn and

   2.  The project is planned so as to minimize harm to the historic resource by implementing the mitigation measures contained in the executed MOA.

   No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the reconstruction of this section of highway.
