The proposed project would consist of the construction of a new GRTA Xpress park and ride facility on approximately 10 acres of land. The subject parcel of land is located immediately west and north of Hollz Parkway, currently a 600-foot public stub street, located one median cut east of Walt Sanders Memorial Drive at SR 34, just east of the 1-85 interchange with SR 34 (Exit 47) in Newnan in central Coweta County. The subject property is currently for sale in an industrially-zone area. 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.
