"In compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, project BRZLB-139(6), Hall 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 project corridor. This project proposed to rep l ace the bridge and improve approaches over Wahoo Creek on Co. Rd. #147 (Ben Parks Road). The project is 1,850 feet long and will require a R/W of 80 to 90 feet. The proposed centerline will be just east of the existing facility. The archaeological survey was conducted in accordance with "GDOT Archaeological Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archaeologists and agreed upon by the Federal Highway Administration, State Historic Preservation Officer and State Archaeologist. These guidelines outline general survey boundaries and methodological approaches to archaeological surveys of transportation projects, and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources. No significant archaeological resources were located within the proposed project corridor as described in paragraph two above. 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."
