Finding [27 Pa.B. 1892] Chester County 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 plans to improve S. R. 3016, Section 39S in Chester County.
The proposed project consists of replacing two bridges which span Tweed Creek and a tributary to Tweed Creek on approximately the same alignment.
The project involves the use of 0.16 acre of land from the Hopewell Historic District.
Mitigation to the Hopewell Historic District will be accomplished through use of appropriate materials on the two bridges. Form liners and weathering steel guide rail will be used to add texture to the bridge. The natural setting will be revegetated as soon as possible if there is any destruction caused during construction. The treatment of the bridges and the revegetation will maintain the pastoral setting of the District.
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 it is 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.
