| 1788 | 2.I | 11/22/2019 | 11/22/2029 | | Context Sensitive Design | Lead Federal Agency | PennDOT will develop a context sensitive design for the bridge which will carry State Route 0083 over Spring Creek. Minimally, this will consist of concrete form-liners with a stone appearance that mimics the Forster-Rutherford house’s substructure elements. PennDOT will consult with the SHPO and consulting parties on the design of the replacement bridge as the project progresses. |
| 1789 | 2. J | 11/22/2019 | 11/22/2029 | | Context Sensitive Design | Lead Federal Agency | PennDOT will develop a context sensitive design for the bridge replacing the existing Norfolk Southern Bridge. The design will include an element, or elements, that relate to its association with the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad. PennDOT will consult with the SHPO and consulting parties on the design of the replacement bridge as the project progresses. |
| 1790 | 2. K | 11/22/2019 | 11/22/2029 | | Plaque/Interpretive Sign | Lead Federal Agency | PennDOT will develop and erect a single panel kiosk near the Forster-Rutherford property containing information on the Forster-Rutherford house and its history. PennDOT will consult with the SHPO and consulting parties on the content and layout of the panel. |
| 1791 | 2. L | 11/22/2019 | 11/22/2029 | | Plaque/Interpretive Sign | Lead Federal Agency | PennDOT will develop and erect a single panel kiosk near the Forster-Rutherford property which, will contain information on the history of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad. PennDOT will consult with the SHPO and consulting parties on the content and layout of the panel. |
| 1792 | 2. A | 11/22/2019 | 11/22/2029 | | Archaeology Ident and Eval for PA | Lead Federal Agency | PennDOT will complete additional Phase I investigations and if necessary Phase II National Register evaluations on sites identified within the APE that may be affected by the proposed Project, in keeping with 36CFR§800.4(c), National Register Bulletin 36: Guidelines for Evaluating and Registering Archaeological Properties (NPS 2000) and Assessing Site Significance: A Guide for Archaeologists and Historians (Hardesty and Little 2002). PennDOT will prepare a Phase II report detailing the results and recommendations for review by FHWA, SHPO, interested Tribes & Nations, and other consulting parties. The report will be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Identification (46 FR 44720-23), the State Historic Preservation Office’s Guidelines for Archaeological Investigations (July 2017), and PennDOT’s The Transportation Project Development Process: Cultural Resources Handbook, Publication 689 (March 2013) while also taking into account the National Park Service’s publication The Archaeological Survey: Methods and Uses (1978: GPO). |
| 1793 | 2. B | 11/22/2019 | 11/22/2029 | | Archaeology Ident and Eval for PA | Lead Federal Agency | If any archaeological sites that have been previously determined eligible for the National Register may be affected by the proposed Project, PennDOT will make a reasonable effort to avoid or minimize effects to these sites. If the eligible sites cannot be avoided, PennDOT will apply the Criteria of Adverse Effect in accordance with 36CFR§800.5. |
| 1794 | 2. C | 11/22/2019 | 11/22/2029 | | Archaeology Mitigation Plan | Lead Federal Agency | If the Project will have an adverse effect on archaeological sites, and if these resources are eligible chiefly under National Register Criterion D (36CFR§63) for the significant information in prehistory or history they are likely to yield through data recovery, PennDOT will ensure that a data recovery plan or a plan for alternative mitigation is developed in consultation with the FHWA and the SHPO and any interested Tribes and Nations or other consulting parties. Any data recovery plan will be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological Documentation (48 FR 44734-37) and also will take into account the Advisory Council on Historic Preservations (ACHP) publication Recommended Approach for Consultation on Recovery of Significant Information from Archaeological Sites and conform to the State Historic Preservation Office’s Guidelines for Archaeological Investigations (July 2017), and PennDOT’s The Transportation Project Development Process: Cultural Resources Handbook, Publication 689 (March 2013). The data recovery or alternative mitigation plan will be submitted to the FHWA, the SHPO, interested Tribes & Nations, and other consulting parties, as appropriate, for their review and/or comment. The review period will be thirty (30) days. |
| 1795 | 2. D | 11/22/2019 | 11/22/2029 | | Public Outreach-Information | Lead Federal Agency | If mitigation of adverse effects to archaeological resources is necessary, the mitigation plan may also include preparation of information for the general public. The specific materials to be produced will be determined individually for each site and may include but not be limited to pamphlets, brochures, artifact displays, exhibits, story maps, websites, or booklets on the results of the excavations. The public information materials should explain the purpose of the Project and the significance of the excavation of eligible sites. PennDOT shall consult with the FHWA, SHPO, interested Tribes & Nations, and other consulting parties, on the proposed public information materials and will provide a draft of any public information materials to the FHWA, SHPO, interested Tribes & Nations, and other consulting parties, for their review and/or comment prior to the finalization of the materials. The review period will be thirty (30) days. |
