Finding Lawrence County [37 Pa.B. 1284]
[Saturday, March 17, 2007]Under the section 2002(b) of The Administraive Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Chief Engineer, Department of Transportation, makes the following written finding:
The Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Transportation (Department) are planning to replace the Old Butler Road Bridge, which carries T-741 over Big Run in Shenango Township, Lawrence County.
The bridge is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and, therefore, qualifies as a Section 4(f)/Section 2002 resource. The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) 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 (CEE), the Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation and the associated Memorandum of Agreement.
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 such effects.
