Finding [27 Pa.B. 846] Snyder, Juniata and Perry Counties Under the provisions of section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation plans to reconstruct state Route 0011, Section 002 in, Snyder, Juniata and Perry Counties.
The project consists of widening the existing three lane facility between Mt. Patrick in Perry County and McKees Half Falls in Snyder County.
The project requires the use of land from the future Fish and Boat Commission's Liverpool Access, State Game Land 258, the Canal Components and a portion of the Liverpool Historic District.
In accordance with coordination conducted with the Fish and Boat Commission and the Game Commission, Right-of-Way required for this project will be replaced with land of equal or greater functional value. Changes to the access to SGL 258 will be mitigated by the proposed median opening near Milepost 15.5. Treatment of the Canal Components and mitigation of the impacts to the Liverpool Historic District are outlined in the Memorandum of Agreement Approved November 11, 1994.
The environmental, economic and other effects of the project have been considered as enumerated in section 2002, subsection 18(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 and concluded that there is no feasible and prudent the Secretary has alternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize such effects.
No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the reconstruction of this section of highway.
