In compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, project CSSTP-M003-00(832), Fulton County, has been surveyed with respect to archeological resources, especially those on or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The purpose of the survey was to locate, identify and evaluate the significance of any archeological resources within the proposed project's area of potential environmental effect. The proposed project would provide for various maintenance activities on State Route 9, from Spring Street to Roswell Road. The project would include milling, resurfacing, striping, and the installation of curb cuts. Curb cut/wheelchair ramps would be installed at Deering Road, left side; 25th Street, right side; Huntington Road, right side; Palisades Road, right side; Collier Road, left side; Brighton Road, right side; Peachtree Valley, right side; Peachtree Park Drive, right side; Colonial Homes Drive, left side; Biscayne Drive, left side; Peachtree Memorial, left side; Peachtree Hills Avenue, right side; Junction Avenue, right side; Peachtree Battle Avenue, left side; Terrace Drive, right side; Lakeview Avenue, right side; Peachtree Way, right side; East Wesley Road, right side; Rumson Road, right side; Delmont Drive, right side; Peachtree Avenue, right side; Pharr Road, right side; Buckhead Avenue, left and right sides; and East Paces Ferry, right side. The project would require no additional right of way; all work would occur within existing right of way. 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. By agreement, since no archaeological resources were located within the project's area of potential effect, no signed concurrence form the State Historic Preservation Officer is required. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon archaeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
