Abstract

The proposed project consists of the paving of shoulders along SR 19 from MP 18.78 in Glenwood to MP 27.95 at the Laurens County Line (see attached map). Total project length is approximately 14.7 kilometers (9.2 miles). The existing two-lane facility would have an additional 0.6 meter (2 feet) of pavement put down along the right and left shoulders. All proposed activity would occur within existing right-of-way. The corridor passes through mostly rural/suburban areas, with residential, commercial and sparse agricultural development occurring along it. The majority of houses along the corridor are modern and few pre-World War II dwellings are to be found. The area of potential effect for this project is considered to be limited to the existing right-of-way, within which all proposed activity would occur. This project does not have the potential to visually affect any eligible resources located outside the existing right-of- way because no slopes would be changed and all paving would be done at existing grade.
