Finding

Crawford County

[40 Pa.B. 2838]
[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 Smith Road Bridge which carries Township Route 406 over an unnamed tributary to Conneaut Creek in Crawford County. Therefore, the project will require the use of the Smith Road Bridge which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and, therefore qualifies as a Section 4(f)/Section 2002 resource.

 In accordance with section 2002 of 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 Projects that Necessitate the Use of Historic Bridges'' 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 Projects that Necessitate the Use of Historic Bridges'' 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, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize the effects.
