Finding [30 Pa.B. 6285] Pursuant to the provisions of 71 P. S. Section 2002(b), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation plans to provide a new bridge to carry Township Road (T-562) over Mill Creek. The bridge location lies completely within State Game Land No. 74. The effect of this project on the State game land will be mitigated by measures to minimize harm to the resource. Measures include:
1. Revegetating the areas disturbed during construction. Revegetation is to be done under the guidance of the PA Game Commission's Land Management Officer.
2. The contractor is to allow access to the existing parking areas along T-562 at the project site if construction takes place during hunting season.
I have considered the environment, economic, social, and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in Section 2002 of the Administrative Code, and have concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize such effect.
No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the reconstruction of this bridge.
