The proposed project consists of the widening of the intersection of SR 54 and SR 154 in the City of Sharpsburg, Coweta County, Georgia. SR 54 will be widened 12' to the east to provide left turn lanes in each direction. SR 154 will be widened 12' to provide right turns lanes in each direction. The existing right-of-way for SR 54 is approximately 80' and 60' for SR 154. The proposed right-of-way will be 100' for SR 54 and 130' for SR 154. The total length of this project is 0.45 mile. 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 archeological resources. During the course of the survey, no elements, or aspects, of archeological properties and their associations that make them eligible for inclusion in the NRHP were identified within the proposed project's APE. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon archeological resources on or eligible for the inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
