Abstract

The proposed project was originally surveyed with concurrence received in 1991, then resurveyed with concurrence received in 1996, 2001 and 2004 (Entorf, Richardson, Jeter, Erickson respectively). The original project remains the same except for the following: a driveway easement and easements for drainage have been added along Quail Run Road. The easements vary in length from approximately 65' to 220' and vary in width from approximately 30' to 40'. 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.
