This is an Archeological Reassessment of project BRG-0005-00(880) in Worth County by the GDOT. This project proposes to replace a bridge on CR 91 over Horse Creek, 9.5 miles south of the City of Sylvester, Worth County, Georgia. The proposed project was originally surveyed with concurrence received in May 2005. The original project remains the same except for the following: the project has been lengthened by 516' on the south end and 32' on the north end; the maximum proposed amount of right-of-way has been increased by 5'; and the new bridge will be a 171' x 28' concrete bridge instead of a 160' x 28' concrete bridge. An archeological survey (Level II) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archeologists in consultation with DNR Historic Preservation Division Staff and concurred in by the Federal Highway Administration and State Historic Preservation Officer. These guidelines provide general survey boundaries and methodological approaches to archeological surveys based on the type/scope of work of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources. No existing or eligible National Register resources were located within the project's area of potential environmental effect. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon archeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
