Revised Archaeological Assessment of a District 6 State Aid Resurfacing & Maintenance Project

"In compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, the resurfacing project in Floyd County, has been surveyed with respect to archeological resources, especially those on or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The purpose of the survey was to locate, identify and evaluate the significance of any archeological resources within the proposed project's area of potential environmental effect.

The proposed project would consist of milling, patching, resurfacing, striping, wheelchair ramps, and traffic signal loops on CS 64209/Charlton Street. It would begin at US 27/SR 1 and end at CS 105009/N. Division Street. The length of project would be approximately 1.0 mile. The proposed project would be constructed on the existing right-of-way, and no additional right-of-way would be required.

An archeological survey (Level I) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHW 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."
