Finding

Chester County

[35 Pa.B. 1309]

   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 replace the SR 1012, Section C01 Bridge over Trout Creek in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County. Temporary occupancies will also be required on the National Register eligible East Watch property and the Richards Road Open Space, which is a publicly owned recreation facility.

   The subject project will use approximately 15.3 hectares (37.8 acres) of the National Park Service property within the designated boundaries of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

   The environmental, economic, social and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 have been considered. It has been concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize the effects. To minimize the harm to the Section 2002 protected property impacted by the project, the bridge will be recorded as a State-Level recordation following Historic American Engineering Record guidelines as per recommendation by the State Historic Preservation Officer. The replacement bridge will be designed sympathetically to the historic nature of the area. Stone from the existing bridge or a comparable stone will be used along the outside of the structure and along the inside of the parapet. Stream stabilization will be included in the final construction plans.

   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.

GARY L. HOFFMAN, P. E.,
