Finding
Venango County
[29 Pa.B. 4907] Pursuant to the provisions of 71 P. S. Section 2002(b), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation plans to rehabilitate the existing Pithole Bridge, which carries S. R. 1004, Section 112 over Pithole Creek in President Township, Venango County. The existing Pithole Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The effect of this project on the Pithole Bridge will be mitigated by the following measures to minimize harm to the resource.
1. A commitment to include photographic documentation to record the rehabilitation of the bridge. Prior to commencement of rehabilitation work, the bridge will be documented in its present condition. After rehabilitation work begins, the bridge will be documented to show the original internal construction system and to record the new internal support system. After rehabilitation work is complete, the bridge will be photographed as the final element of the photographic folio of the Pithole Bridge.
2. A newspaper or journal article will be written and published to educate the public on historic significance of the Pithole Bridge and on the rehabilitation project.
I have considered the environment, economic, social, and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in Section 2002 of the Administrative Code, and have concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize such effect.
No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the rehabilitation of this bridge.
BRADLEY L. MALLORY,
Secretary
