Abstract

The proposed project would consist of the addition of left turn lanes at five in rs t;~ns along' SR 34 east of Newnan. These intersections include: Grieson Trail, Eastgate S/C, Shenandoah S/C, SR 34 Bypass, and the intersection at MP 13.9. The turn lanes are to be constructed using the existing median. No additional right-of-wav will be required for the completion of this project. An archaeological survey consistent with the project description was conducted along project corridor. An archaeological survey (Level I) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archaeologists in consultation with DNR Historic Preservation Section Staff and concurred in by the Federal Highway Administration and State Historic Preservation Officer. These guidelines provide general survey boundaries and methodological approaches to archaeological surveys based on the type/scope of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources. No existing or eligible National Register archaeological resources were located within the project's area of potential environmental effect. 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.
