Finding

Bucks County

[42 Pa.B. 1015]
[Saturday, February 18, 2012]

 Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Director of the Bureau of Project Delivery as delegated by the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:

 The Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Transportation (Department) are planning the replacement of the existing bridge carrying SR 1016, Delaware Road over the Delaware Canal in Riegelsville Borough, Bucks County. The bridge will be replaced on similar horizontal and vertical alignments with minimal approach work. A temporary bridge and roadway will also be constructed as part of the project. This temporary structure will be located approximately 250 feet south of the existing structure.

 The project will require the use of two Section 4(f)/Section 2002 resources: the Riegelsville Historic District and the Delaware Division of Pennsylvania Canal National Historic Landmark. The project will require the removal of the existing bridge which is contributing to the Riegelsville Historic District and 0.01 acre of right-of-way acquisition in the Riegelsville Historic District. The Delaware Division of Pennsylvania Canal National Historic Landmark will have a De Minimis use for reconstruction of a deteriorating retaining wall.

 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 an Individual Section 4(f) Evaluation document to evaluate the potential environmental impacts caused by the subject project. The document also serves as the Section 2002 Evaluation. 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.

 Based upon studies, there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of the Section 2002 resource for the proposed action, and the project is planned to minimize harm to the Section 2002 resource. Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize harm as stipulated in the Level-2 CEE, the Section 4(f) document.
