DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Finding Allegheny County [36 Pa.B. 776] Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration makes the following written finding:
The Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Transportation are planning to replace the Dorrington Road Bridge that carries SR 3117 over Robinson Run in Collier Township, Allegheny County.
The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and, therefore, qualifies as a Section 4(f)/Section 2002 resource. The State Historic Preservation Officer has concurred in a determination of ''Adverse Effect'' upon the resource.
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 Categorical Exclusion Evaluation, the Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation and the associated Memorandum of Agreement, which includes recordation of the structure in accordance with State level recordation guidelines.
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.
