On September 25, 2001, Project Field Director Erica Jeter and staff archeologists from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) conducted an archeological survey for the widening of SR 307/Dean Forest Road from Robert B. Miller Road to SR-21 in Chatham County, Georgia (Figure 1). The survey was conducted in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, and the Georgia Environmental Policy Act of 1991. The goals of the survey were to locate, document, and assess archeological resources, which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Georgia Register of Historic Places (GRHP) located within the proposed project's area of potential effect (APE). No National Register-listed or eligible archeological sites, structures, or other objects were identified in or adjacent to the survey area. A separate report dealing with the rictnrieal survey for this project received concurrence in December 2002. Therefore, it is concluded that implementation of the proposed GDOT project to widen SR 307/Dean Forest Road from Robert B. Miller Road to SR 21 in Chatham County, Georgia will not affect archaeological resources on or eligible for inclusion on the NRHP or the GRHP, provided that the project conforms to the present design concept.
