In compliance with the Georgia Environmental Protection Act (GEPA), and Article 9, Section 12-3-621(a) of H.B. 457 (Georgia), and under the provisions of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, the proposed project has been surveyed with respect to archaeological resources, especially those on or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The purpose of the survey was to locate, identify and evaluate the significance of any archaeological resources within the project's area of potential environmental effect.
Project PR-91 (279) would widen and pave CR 91 / Mel Blount Road in Toombs County. The proposed project would begin at the intersection of CR 78 and CR 91 then would extend southwesterly along CR 91 to its intersection with CR 95. A right-of-way of 80 feet is proposed for the project. An archaeological survey consistent with the proposed project rights-of-way was surveyed for the entire 1.8 kilometer (1.12 mile) length of the proposed project corridor.
