Abstract

GDOT project IM-95-1(157) in Glynn County consists of the installation of fog sensors, speed detectors and changeable message signs to detect fog, warn motorists, and advise them to take appropriate action on 1-95 from south of exit 29 (SR 520/US 82/US 17) to north of exit 36 (SR 27/US 341/US 25). All work will be completed within existing 1-95 right-of-way and no additional right-of-way would be required for the completion of this project. The total project length is 8.2 miles. 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.
