Thereto, project STP-000E (225) in Paulding County has been surveyed with respect to archaeological 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 archaeological resources within the proposed project's area of potential environmental effect. Project STP-000E (225) in Paulding County proposes to construct a 260 foot long, .I 0 foot by I 0 foot single Box culvert underneath SR 6 at milepost 6.67 to accommodate users of a multi-section trail along the abandoned Seaboard Rail line. The total project length is 0.11 miles. ยท An archaeological survey (Level II) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archaeologists 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 archaeological surveys based on the type/scope of work of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources. No existing or eligible National Register 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."
