The proposed project would rehabilitate eighteen bridges in Glynn, Tattnall, Wayne, Wheeler, Montgomery, And Toombs Counties. The proposed project would return eighteen structurally deficient bridges to good structurall condition by the replacement of the timber structure. This would require removal of old timber from existing bridges and replacing them with new timber piles in a different arrangement. Traffic will be maintained during pile replacements. No additional right-of-way would be required. An archaeological survey (Level II) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archaeologists 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 archaeological surveys based on the type/scope of work of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources. No existing or eligible National Register 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.
