The project consisted of the repair of a wing wall associated with a culvert, located at Mile Post (M.P.) 20.3 on SR 158 within the city of Douglas, in Coffee County. The culvert was repaired as part of emergency operations associated with flooding in southern Georgia. No additional right-of-way or easements were required for this project, and land disturbance amounted to less than one acre. An archeological survey consistent with these project specifications was performed within the project corridor.
An archeological survey (Levell) was conducted in accordance with "GDOTIFHW A Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archeologists 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 archeological surveys based on the type/scope of work of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources.
By agreement, since no archaeological resources were located within the project's area of potential effect, no signed concurrence form the State Historic Preservation Officer is required. 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.
