Finding
[38 Pa.B. 3947]
[Saturday, July 19, 2008]Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1920 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Director of the Bureau of Design as delegated by the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding.
The Department of Transportation (Department) is planning to replace the Harmonyville Road Bridge which carries SR 4018 (Harmonyville Road) over French Creek in Warwick Township, Chester County. The bridge is a contributing element to the North Warwick Historic and Archaeological District, and it has been determined that the bridge replacement project will have an adverse effect on the District. The project will require minor right-of-way acquisition from two properties within the District, as well as a temporary construction easement within the District.
Therefore, in accordance with Act 120, a Section 2002 Evaluation has been prepared to evaluate the potential impacts to the Section 2002 resource caused by the bridge replacement project. The Section 2002 Evaluation was approved June 26, 2008.
Based upon studies, there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the proposed action. Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize harm as stipulated in the Section 2002 Evaluation.
The environmental, economic, social and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 of The Administrative Code, 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.
