Finding

Berks County

[40 Pa.B. 2837]
[Saturday, May 29, 2010]

 Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Director of the Bureau of Design makes the following written finding:

 The Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Transportation (Department) are planning to replace the Longswamp Road Bridge which carries SR 1010 over Little Lehigh Creek in Berks County. Therefore, the project will require the use of the Longswamp Road Bridge which is a contributing element to the Lower Longswamp Historic District and, therefore qualifies as a Section 4(f)/Section 2002 resource.

 In accordance with Section 2002 The Administrative Code of 1929 establishing the Department, a Level-2 Categorical Exclusion Evaluation (CEE) has been developed for the subject project along with a ''Nationwide/Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for Transportation Projects that have Net Beneficial Use (Net Benefit)'' document to evaluate the potential environmental impacts caused by the subject project. The document also serves as the Section 2002 Evaluation. The approved documents are available in the CE/EA Expert System.

 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 Level-2 CEE, the ''Nationwide/Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for Transportation Projects that have Net Beneficial Use (Net Benefit)'' and the associated Memorandum of Agreement.

 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.
