Addendum to the Phase I Archaeological Survey of the Proposed SR 145 Bridge Replcement Over the North Fork of the Broad River, Franklin County, Georgia

Addendum to Phase I Archaeological Survey of the Proposed SR 145 Bridge Replacement Over the North Fork of the Broad River, Franklin County, Georgia. This project is an addendum to two previous Phase I archaeological surveys conducted in advance of a proposed bridge replacement at SR 145 over the North Fork of the Broad River (Gardner and Jenkins 2003; Gardner and Shah 2005). The 2003 project corridor extended from the intersection of SR 51 and SR 145, crossed the North Fork of the Broad River, and ended approximately 800 feet southeast of the intersection of SR 145 and Park Road (Figure 1). In 2005, three additional right-of-way segments (see below) were added (Figure 2). In 2006 (addressed in this report), a small block of required right-of-way for a cross pipe outlet on Rice Mill Road was shifted closer to the intersection with SR 145 and a driveway easement was added on SR 145 at Station 35+00. Map analysis concluded that the 2006 changes and additions were adequately covered during the original archaeological investigation by Gardner and Jenkins (2003). The project is located 1.6 miles west of Franklin Springs, Georgia. The APE is defined as the length and width of the project corridor. The original APE for archaeology was 2,000 feet long and 318 feet wide along SR 145. As noted above, this APE encompasses the proposed 2006 changes to the required right-of-way (a small segment of required right-of-way on Rice Mill Road and a driveway easement at Station 35+00 on SR 145). The 2005 APE added a 30-meter long and 5-meter wide section along the east side of Park Road, north of its intersection with SR 145; a 120-meter long by 30-meter wide section on the east side of SR145, north of its intersection with SR 51; and a section on the west side of SR 145 across the northern end of the previous additional right-of-way. The 2006 relocated right-of-way and additional easement are within areas previously surveyed for archaeological resources. No previously recorded sites are located within the APE or within 1 km of the APE.
