Finding

Bucks County

[43 Pa.B. 107]
[Saturday, January 5, 2013]

 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 0032, River Road over the Tohicken Creek in Plumstead and Tinicum Townships, Bucks County. The project will include replacing the bridge at its existing location and will require the use of a temporary structure to maintain traffic during construction. The proposed bridge will be widened from 20.3 feet to 28 feet to provide shoulders and one sidewalk.

 The project will require the use of two Section 4(f)/Section 2002 resources: the Point Pleasant Historic District and the Point Pleasant Community Park. The project will require the removal of the existing bridge, which is contributing to the Point Pleasant Historic District and 0.04 acre of right-of-way acquisition from properties that contribute to the Point Pleasant Historic District. The project will also require 0.04 acre of right-of-way acquisition from the Point Pleasant Community Park, which will have a De Minimis use.

 In accordance with section 2002 of The Administration 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 resources for the proposed action, and the project is planned to minimize harm to the Section 2002 resources. Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize harm as stipulated in the Level-2 CEE, the Section 4(f) document.
