In compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, project CSMSL-0006-00(478), Cobb/DeKalb/Fulton/Gwinnett County, Georgia, bas been surveyed with respect to archeological 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 archeological resources within the proposed project's area of potential environmental effect. This proposed project will add additional Changeable Message Signs (CMS), Video Detection System (VDS) cameras and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras to the original Atlanta Metropolitan area Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), within the geographical limits of the existing system. Wherever possible, the additional VDS and CCTV's will be mounted on existing structures. All work will take place within the existing right-of-way, no new right-of-way is required. An archeological survey (Level I) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHW A Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archeologists 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 archeological surveys based on the type/scope of work of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources.
