Abstract

Archeological Survey of Project BRST-3104(4), Baldwin County. The proposed project consists of the in-place replacement of the structurally deficient bridge on SR 29/SR 243/US 441 Business over Fishing Creek in the City of Milledgeville, Baldwin County, Georgia. The existing right-of-way is approximately 60' with 40' of new right-of-way required for the implementation of the project. Total project length is approximately 0.32 mile. An archeological survey (Level 11) 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.
