Abstract

Project PR-8530(109) consists of construction of concrete curb and gutter on B. Sands Street, River Bridge Road, West Main Street and East Main Street in the city of Daisy in Evans County. Construction will be within the existing right-of-way. An archaeological survey consistent with the proposed right-of-way was conducted for the entire 0.856-mile length of 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.
