"In compliance with Section I 06 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, project STP-M000-00(145) in Bulloch 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.
The proposed project would consist of the 2 foot left and right shoulder paving of SR 24 beginning 0.20 miles east of SR 26 and ending at the Screven County line in Bulloch County. The total project length is
14.47 miles and all work would be completed within existing right-of way.
An archaeological survey (Level I) 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."
