On May 9- 12, 2016, EPEI conducted a Phase I archaeological survey for the proposed SR 32 over 17 Mile River and Otter Creek bridge replacement project (P.I. Nos. 0011678 and 00 11679), in Coffee County, Georgia (Figure 1.1 ). The goal of the survey was to locate and evaluate archaeological sites within the survey area of the proposed undertaking, so that potential effects to identified resources could be evaluated in accordance with Section I 06 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The survey work was conducted by EPEI for GDOT under a contract with Kimley-Horn Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia. The proposed GDOT Projects, P.I. Nos. 0011678 and 0011679, consist of replacing two structurally deficient bridges on SR 32 over 17 Mile River (Structure TO # 069-00 13-0) and Otter Creek (Structure ID # 069-00 14-0). A portion of the survey area was within the boundary of the General Coffee State Park, and required a permit letter from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to perform archaeological work.
