Finding

Allegheny County

[34 Pa.B. 5859]

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

   The Department of Transportation (Department) plans to rehabilitate the bridge carrying Corrigan Drive over Catfish Run in South Park, Allegheny County. The bridge rehabilitation requires the taking of approximately 93 square meters (1,000 square feet) from South Park, which qualifies as a Section 2002 resource.

   Mitigation measures to minimize harm to the resource include the following:

   1.  The minimum amount of permanent right-of-way will be acquired from South Park to incorporate the existing wing walls into the roadway right-of-way. The land required is currently undeveloped.

   2.  During construction, one lane of traffic in each direction and one sidewalk will be maintained at all times to avoid a detour. Therefore, this will not result in any temporary or permanent adverse change to the activities or features, which are important to the purposes and functions of South Park that qualify South Park for protection under Section 2002.

   3.  Protective fencing will be placed along the walking path adjacent to the bridge during construction.

   4.  All disturbed areas will be revegetated and any landscaped areas will be restored upon completion of the proposed project.

   The Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration 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 has concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize effects.

Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration
