Finding [28 Pa.B. 4837] Clinton County 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 replace the existing Mackeyville Bridge, which carries S. R. 2004 (Maple Avenue) over Fishing Creek in the Village of Mackeyville and Lamar Township, Clinton County. The existing Mackeyville Bridge is a contributing element in the National Register eligible Mackeyville Historic District, and the project will require the acquisition of 0.04 hectares (0.099 acres) from the Mackeyville Historic District. The effect of this project on the Mackeyville Historic District will be mitigated by the mitigation measures outlined in the Categorical Exclusion Evaluation/Section 4(f) Evaluation that was prepared for this project. The Section 4(f) Evaluation meets the same requirements as Section 2002 of Pennsylvania Act 120.
I have considered the environmental, 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 replacement of this bridge.
