Finding
Bedford County
[31 Pa.B. 6997] Under the provisions of section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code (71 P. S. § 2002(b)), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation plans to replace the existing Tussey Mountain Bridge carrying S.R. 0036 over Yellow Creek in Hopewell Township, Bedford County. The project will require the removal of three contributing elements (corn crib, sugar house and chicken coop), and the acquisition of 0.17 hectare (0.42 acre) from the approximately 0.70 hectare (1.74 acres) Snowberger House/Mowery House B which has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Information describing the project together with the associated environmental analysis is contained in the Categorical Exclusion Evaluation/Section 2002 Evaluation that was prepared for this project.
Based upon studies, there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the removal of three contributing elements, and the acquisition of 0.17 hectare (0.42 acre) from the approximately 0.70 hectare (1.74 acres) Snowberger House/Mowery House B which has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Secretary has considered the environmental, economic, social and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 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 these effects.
No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the replacement of this bridge.
BRADLEY L. MALLORY,
Secretary
