The proposed project would consist of replacing the existing iron fence around Cedarwood Cemetery in Richland Georgia (Figure 1) with a new iron fence or powder-coated aluminum fence; installing a modular retaining wall around the cemetery perimeter to correct areas of severe erosion; installing landscaping and irrigation between the new cemetery fence and existing streets; removing dead or damaged trees within the cemetery, pruning healthy trees, and planting new trees; installing historic-style street lighting along Park Drive; landscaping, irrigation, lighting, and minor repairs to Richland's gateway signage. The area of potential effect (APE) for the project consists of 3ft inside of the fence to the edge of pavement, edge of building, or edge of railroad cut along the entire perimeter of the cemetery, the footprint of the trees to be removed, 5-15ft from the edge of pavement along both sides of Park Drive for 1,100ft in length, and a 50 by 50ft area centered on the welcome sign on the west side of Highway 280.
