DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Finding Washington County [40 Pa.B. 6365]
[Saturday, October 30, 2010]Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Director of the Bureau of Project Delivery makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation is planning to replace the bridge carrying SR 4037 (Noblestown Road) over Robinson Run bordering Mount Pleasant and Robinson Townships, Washington County.
Information describing the project, with the associated environmental analysis, is contained in the Environmental Document, Bridge and Roadway Preservation Programmatic Agreement/Section 2002 Evaluation, that was prepared for this project. The Panhandle Trail is maintained by Washington County and is open for use by the public. The ''maintained trail'' will not be impacted. However, the project will require the acquisition of .042 acre of right-of-way from the Washington County (Panhandle Trail parcel) property, which qualifies as a Section 2002 resource.
Based upon studies, there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the proposed action. 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.
