In compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, project STP-0001-00(239), Cobb County, Georgia, has 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 project proposes improvements to the intersection of SR 360 at CR 809/Corner Road. This intersection will be reconstructed to provide left turn lanes at all approaches. In addition, CR 2083 and CR 811/Bullard Road will be reconstructed to correct substandard approach angles at their intersections with SR 360. The existing two 12' travel lanes with grassed shoulders on SR 360 will be replaced with two 12' lanes, a 12' left turn lane in both directions, and curb, gutters, and sidewalks. The existing two 11' travel lanes with grassed shoulders on CR 809, CR 2083 and CR 811 will be replaced with two 12' travel lanes and a 12' left turn lane on CR 809 and CR 811, and realigned for a right-in/right-out roadway at CR 2083. Existing right-of-way varies between approximately 55' to 100', with approximately 30' to 45' of additional right-of-way required. Total project length is 0.87 mile. An archeological survey (Level II) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA 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. 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 archeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
