The proposed project would symmetrically widen S.R. 120/Maddox Street in Alpharetta. The project as proposed would begin at the intersection of S.R. 9 then would proceed easterly along S.R.120/Maddox Street to a point just east of the U.S. 19/S.R.400 interchange. In addition, a connector would be constructed on new location from Norcross Street east to Brooke Street. Required rights-of-way for the proposed project would vary from a maximum of 116 feet to a minimum of 92 feet. An archaeological survey consistent with the proposed rights-of-way was surveyed for the entire length of the 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 significant archaeological resources were 'Located within the proposed project corridor as described in paragraph two above. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will not affect archaeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above".
