In compliance with the Georgia Environmental Protection Act of 1991, the proposed project 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's area of potential environmental effect.
The proposed project would grade, drain, base, and pave Old Shellman Bluff Road/ C. R. 32 north of Shellman Bluff. The project as proposed would begin at the end of existing paving on Old Shellman Bluff Road just north of Shellman Bluff then would extend northerly 2.4 miles to the intersection of Old Shellman Bluff Road and Young Man Road/ C.R. 133. An additional 40 feet of right-of-way would be required. An archaeological survey consistent with the proposed project rights-of-way was surveyed for the entire length of the proposed project.
